Re: [MBZ] Wonder What's Wrong With It?
You can pull one at the knackers or find one on eBay for probably not too much. Then it needs to be flashed to match the car. Those who do it can charge a fair amount, $300 or $400 maybe? This 06E350 I got on trade had a buggered ECU, somehow it got set to be for a V8. My buddy Todd had one sitting on a shelf so flashed it to match the car. I’ve still got to get the starter swapped to get it started. That car looks like putting a few $100 into it would not be unreasonable. Maybe even some negotiation would make it a better deal --FT Sent from iFōn > On Dec 9, 2023, at 6:41 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes > wrote: > > I’ll defer to Floyd, but I know on a couple of engines, like the M156, and > the M127 it’s around $500 for a rebuilt one.

I’ll defer to Floyd, but I know on a couple of engines, like the M156, and the M127 it’s around $500 for a rebuilt one. Used ECUs can be found for less on venues such as eBay. I do believe they have to be version-coded, but again, I would defer to others' knowledge on this, as it’s an area I haven’t done much work in. -D > On Dec 9, 2023, at 6:37 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > > On Sat, 9 Dec 2023 18:06:33 -0500 Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote: > >> It would be interesting to do a deep scan to see exactly what the issue >> is.

It would be interesting to do a deep scan to see exactly what the issue is. Replacing an ECU is not a big deal if that is actually the problem --FT Sent from iFōn > On Dec 9, 2023, at 5:56 PM, Craig via Mercedes wrote: > > On Sat, 9 Dec 2023 19:26:45 + Rick Knoble via Mercedes > wrote: > >> https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/cto/d/saint-petersburg-2009-mercedes-benz/7696083871.html > > > Well, it says, "Needs a new engine control unit." > > > Craig > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
