You can't just swap ECU's on a Td5 - the engine ECU is matched to the alarm 10AS ECU, so if you swap ECU's you need to swap them as a pair unless you have diagnostic kit (the 10AS is the green box screwed to the bulkhead behind the clock panel)

mmm im confused now :huh:
i saw the green box when i wired in the imobiliser but mine hasnt got an alarm
its a 2000 but i think it was the change over model as its got the original type dash (same as 200 / 300 tdi) , new clocks but windy windows also the key is the standard looking type ie the same as my 200tdi
also heres a thing where the ecu sits is a blue multi plug with a blanking cap on, and in the fuse box is a green multi plug which is not connected to any thing
help

Martin,
It would be easier for you to find someone with some diagnostic kit (Rovacom or Nanocom) and get them to check the live data info. If you swap the ECU, you'll need to read the injector codes off your existing ECU and write them onto the new (or loan) ECU - as well as coding your 10AS to the new ECU. It is possible (using diag tools) to disable the factory alarm - mine has a factory alarm/immobiliser (as well as other security 'items' ;)), but no central locking, and I have windup windows too !

Large tyres yes (well, only 265/75/16's), surely the D2 high range Tbox would give a higher top speed -

Not if you haven't got enough power to turn the wheels...like trying to pedal a bike in top gear everywhere sometimes you physically can't :D

But we have power - up to about 60mph anyway :roll:.................at what point do wheels become too 'big', and need gear ratios swapping ?
IIRC, my wheel/tyre setup is a factory option - so it should be ok with the stock gearing ?

Bin the EGR & fit THIS
Also straight through mid pipe will help & sounds wonderful :lol:
I fitted a Dastek chip to my Td5 & wow :shock: what a difference that
If you fit one of these will the ecu have to be altered
