Why me
« on: 12 July 2010, 11:58:34 »
Sods law. I received my chip to make my diesel quicker but with having a busy weekend i've not had chance to whip the ECU apart and fit it. Wifey is in work today and its persisting down so I cant remove the gearbox and cats from the breaker so I thought it would be an excellent time to have a go at the ECU. I have removed it, stripped it down and the bloody chip is the one which is soldered in and i'm as good at soldering as Geoff Capes is at ballet :'( :'(

Needs a good iron, not a cheapie, to get lots of heat quickly to the joint, particularly on the 0v pin.
