Hi all,

Please can someone advise of the location of the ecu please; have all sorts of engine management issues, and I need to get part number off unit for possible replacement.

Thanks.

If you are facing your car... *front of car* its the front left.

USA - passenger side, front right corner. all the way up by the light.

Should be a black box, with a hose going to your radiator.
it is behind the passenger side light. cant miss it.

Haha honestly, I have never even been under mine.

Hey mind posting a photo of your engine bay so I can see where things are located for future refs.
