Richmod - which ecu is needed?

a_hornett · Post by **a_hornett** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 1:53 pm

Apologies for the obvious questions, but I've searched and not found the answer I'm looking for

Can anyone confirm which ecu's are needed to do the richmod? I've got the CEM, which i understand is NOT needed.

I've got the Bosch Jetronic fuel ECU out, I'm guessing that's needed too

I'm led to believe there's an ignition ECU which should also have a coloured label on it? Is this correct? Where in the car can it be found? It's a 94 L 480 turbo.

Thanks in advance for the help

Hello,

The ignition ECU is the one you want.

If you are in the car then it's LEFT of your left foot (if in a UK car) pull back the carpet and your find it.

See http://volvo480.dragons.org.uk/forum/vi ... c&start=40 about having your ECU taken by a kind forum member.

the only problem is that your ecu has to be sen away leaving you 480 less for a time. Best solution is to buy a spare ecu and put it place of your existing one while its away getting modded.

its not a major problem, the 480's a dedicated track car not my daily, so while the ecu is away, the hole saw gets to play
