Anyone looking for a W202 C250TD Auto saloon? Chipped ECU. Needs some TLC but engine and gearbox are excellent. Moving abroad. Looking for a good home for it.

Thanks for the replies. I've taken off the sockets and it looks a right mess. I think a new ECU is needed. If I get another ECU, how do I get around the key and immobiliser issue?

Looks like I've soldered the sockets in wrong. Either some pins aren't contacting or could be bridged. Is there anyone in Kent that could help? I've tried all the local ECU Repair shops but they won't touch it. Thanks

Much appreciated mate. I'll send it to you later. Thanks Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

Thanks for your help mate. He's put one dot on one and two on the other. I just need to know which way round they go. Surely someone here has done it. I still haven't had a single reply on STD. At least people are replying here. Thank you all Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

I actually bought them off Sean but I think he's away at the moment. I know how to solder and everything. I just need to know which way round they go. Thanks mate Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

Thank you. I just need to know which one goes where. There's two chips that look exactly the same. One has one dot, the other has two dots. Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

Thanks mate. I've already posted there. No response either. What do you have and what have you done? Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk

Can someone run me through the chip swap process please. I've got the chips and sockets already. I now want to familiarise myself with the process before I pull the ECU out. Thanks

Excellent stuff. Thank you. I've already ordered a length of pipe to delete the cat. Just a temporary thing until I get a proper full exhaust. I haven't noticed a cut in fuel. Performance isn't down anyway. Just seems sluggish from standstill. But I think its always been like that

Even though its an EDC Pump? Could I've remove the boost control hardware and once I upgrade the turbo, just run a simple vacuum line to the actuator?

OK. That makes sense now. Ive jammed it shut so it will never open. Now she flies. No lag in between gears (it's an auto) still very laggy from standstill though. Hardly moves for a couple of seconds then takes off. Will messing with the actuator have confused the ecu and cause a cut in fuel or...

Nothing? Come on Mercedes wizards!
