'Evening All
When I was reading in the user manual, it said that it was best to remove the CEM and engine management unit from the car before it goes into a paint oven. Does anyone have any further information regarding this, as my car really needs to be touched up professionally, should I worry about this?
it did not say it was necessary, but it did say that it was safer
Many thanks
Ben

Re: CEM in paint oven?
With a modern water based paint shop, your car is normally “baked” at 60 degrees for half an hour.
Can’t honestly see that doing anything but good for a typically damp 480!

Agreed. However, if you want to remove the CEM and ECU, rest assured tat each takes about 5 minutes to remove. (Turbo owners have a 3rd computer)

Re: CEM in paint oven?
Thanks all, if it is a metallic paint, such as my Arctic Blue, will it still be water based and at 60 Deg?

Re: CEM in paint oven?
Pretty much every paint shop now is water based; it’s all about the environment now.
