Hi, this board is in somewhat bad shape. I wondered why the milage didn't change to that of the dash when I plugged it into this bII. I know this has 54k on it. Prob due to the crystal being so rusty. Guess this is the answer to many Espace errors like external temp, & other body faults.
Anyway, what would you clean a board like this with? I have been told cokeacola, just like we use to with our old pennies!
Whats your thoughts.
Cheers.

M-H-M would place this in a bead blaster and WAFT the lance around until bored. (60 seconds)

polo's with cdl, same shit but in one corner nothing will make it work till you waft it in sandblaster.

Try and get Carbon Tetracloride(now restricted) from chemist if available cleans curcuit boards like new.

Use CRC engine head gasket remover to get laquer off. Comes real goo with thick covered EWS units. Than clean it off with alcohol.
