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

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
