- TDL- Bosch ECU Repair Alfa 166
This car owner would have been faced with a $3000+ bill to repair his car, but fortunately it was a relatively quick fix. If you own a car with this ECU it may well be worth watching!

Thanks you lovely people, and keep on tinkering! Наука
Good job!
Dang. Do they put it on the engine like that for the 3.0l as well? At least on my 156 2.0 jts it is mounted to a wing and behind a plastic shield (of sorts).
Do you know if there is an extension harness so we can relocated the ecu?
HELLO THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO, is it POSSIBLE TO give me the component reference? THANKS
Tengo una que está dañada ! Se podría reparar??
Hi can you help what is the spec and make of the replaced part or is there a sorce to obtain this part ??
Wow the corner cutting on modern cars is just ridiculous! I'm just amazed that an ecu would be bolted to an engine with Pound shop level production standards! Nice and accessable I suppose but just crazy in terms of build quality! I think I will stick with my 33 year old Nissan personally! :-) Well done for fixing it! :-)
I have a nasty feeling that BOSCH use this in their ABS ECUs as well. Perhaps they acquired a factory that uses this technology and are stuck with it.
@@backofficeshow Yikes! I wonder if that means my dad's Passat has one? I seem to remember Bosch ECU's are used in VW's though I could be wrong. It's bad enough that the ICs are not encapsulated, but to cover them in melted jelly babies as apposed to even a blob of epoxy I find really shocking! :-0
@@electronraygun6346 I'm sure if it fails you will have to yoink the while valve block. I've rarely seen them replaced so I'm sure he will be fine
Would this work on my 156 2.0 selespeed? I keep getting and key error code and it’s hard to find a replacement ecu
Thanks so much for your help
Is these wires not too thin?
Thank you so fucking much... My Alfa 156 v6 Was 4 years still just because of that little shit thing... Thanks
Hi I have same ecu but ferrari 360.
After battery jump start throttle body is clicking and car doent start engine. Is it same with this video?
Yes!
That ECU is designed to fail - and be very difficult to repair (capacitors aside). Andrew, I'm sure you'd get more views if you took TDL out of the title (or at least moved it to the end).
Thanks Julian, it certainly is awful! I have been meaning to drop the TDL but keep forgetting, I finally have done it across all videos
Not so sure about leaving the capacitor loose like that. With all the vibration and jarring it surely needs more than sitting on that goo.
After testing I would suggest gooping it
👏👏👏😃
the audi gearbox controllers are the same ,i wrecked mine trying to solder the aluminium wires back, what a piece of crap
How did you knew that that component was the problem?
It was the only thing left that had not been changed
I mean, inside the ECU... You did some testing or something?
Just visual inspection
Thank you!
😃😃😃
Alfa 166 ecu repair...and sits in a 156 2.5 engine...
Same shit different box

Hell no, the ecu in the 166 from 99 is located at the pasenger side inside the vehicle! And nothing like what is shown in your clip!
@@karlos1060 The later V6 166 has the same ECU. CF2 (pre 2001) cars have it in the footwell, CF3 (2001 and on) cars have it bolted to the plenum. I'd seen talk of this fix on a forum I frequent and confess I was cynical as I'd been inside one of these some years back and didn't notice/forgot about the decoupling caps. Nice easy fix!! The CF2 cars have an ME2.1 ECU - conventional PCB & components rather than ceramic hybrid like this one. Much easier to fix...and much less likely to go wrong ;)
Same engine, no ?
hello have you got immo off for me7.3h4
