For sale: blue Richmod ECU

Because I'm going for something else, I'm selling my blue ECU with the well known Richmod. When needed I also have the matching Jetronic for sale. Open for serious offers.

Re: who know what is this?

It's the crankcase ventilation system. Just replaced mine this week (440 turbo).

Re: How can I tell I recieved a genuine Richmod ?!

i know this might sound funny but you are using the right "octane" rating of petrol? should be a 95 OCTANE (dont find the more expensive and fancier stuff does much myself.), Just if the octane rating is too low, you might be suffering from pinking (pre ignition), and so therefore the knock sensor ...

Re: How can I tell I recieved a genuine Richmod ?!

If you are getting a bad fuel economy, and the richmod isnt working correctly check your lambda sensor, if this is dead or diying it will cause all sorts of mayhem! Also check your icv is functioning correctly. One other point would be are you running the volvo standard dreirc (dump) valve?? This m...

Re: How can I tell I recieved a genuine Richmod ?!

@plugs: The difference is between hot and cold. The lesser protruding the colder. If you really use your extra power the NGK is the better choice. I wonder if the fuel economy changed that much by just exchanging plugs. There's a lot of variables to take into account. @resistors: It's the total val...

Re: How can I tell I recieved a genuine Richmod ?!

I've discovered a leak in the inlet manifold, but that should lower the CO instead of raising it. I also replaced the NGK BPR8ES for original bougies and now the fuel consumption is back to 8,7l/100km. The electrodes on the NGK's are shorter than the ones on the original bougies. Could that be the p...

Re: How can I tell I recieved a genuine Richmod ?!

Some time ago I purchased a blue richmod from a forummember. Because of curiosity I opened up the ECU this week. It looked similar to the picture that Sieger showed in this thread, except I have only one resistor instead of two. Is this ok? http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1788/p3160004.jpg My car fai...

Re: What colour is this?

It says in the ad it's not the original color. It has been resprayed. I think the price is so high because of the low mileage, excellent condition and some rare options (parking heater, adjustable headlights).

Re: Blue Richmod ECU

Sorry for forgetting to post a "you have a pm" here. Although I'm a new member I've been following this forum for some time now. Last time I was outbid by Spree on Ebay when a blue Richmod was auctioned so I had to act quick :wink: .
