One ends in 173, the other ends in something else (I forget the number now). Is there any reason I can't just swap one ECU for the other? Thanks, - --Jeff ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2003 07:04:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Timothy Fries <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [uuc] cleaning inside of tinted windows Do not use anything with ammonia, Such as Windex or any other "Blue" stuff. If you look in the cleaning section of your local autoparts store there are a window cleaners that say they are safe for tinted windows, these clean better than Windex even if you do not have the tint, IMHO. - --- Larry T <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Any suggestions on this?

According to the reference info on their website http://www.programainc.com there are 8 part numbers shown for 86-91 ix ECUs including 0 261 200 173. They show 19 ECU part numbers cross-referenced to 0 261 200 173. http://www.programainc.com/?go=products&v=6&pnid=173 Presumably if your other ECU has one of these part numbers it should be plug and play.

There is a circlip that is a bit different in that it is not flattish in cross-section, but square. So, it is a circle with about 5 deg missing and the ends turn inwards (IIRC) and stick out. You push the ends together (they are in the radial direction) and the circle becomes smaller and the clip comes out. Neil Deshpande *** Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 23:50:00 -0500 From: "Christian Els" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [uuc] <iX> Removing CV joints Hi all, I'm in the middle of installing new boots on my front halfshafts but I have encountered a snag - HTF do you get the outer CV joint off the shaft? I have read 3-4 different write-ups of ths procedure which all summarily dismiss this step with "separate the split ring and slide the joint off the axle. A tap with a plastic mallett maybe be necessary." I have the axle clamped in my bench vice and a slide hammer attached to the CV joint and I still can't seem to apply the correct 'tap' to free the joint. Anybody BTDT who can read me what the T-shirt says to do?
