    Default Ecu swap Bmw e36 318i 0261203278

    Hi guys,

    I’ve got a ecu to swap on a bmw 318i convertible ‘95.
    I have old damaged ecu which injector feed is shorted out.
    And I have a used replacement ecu with all the same numbers.

    I have been looking for immo off solution but that’s hard to find and maybe not possible?

    I think I have these options:
    - sync ews and ecu but don’t know yet with what tools that’s possible?
    -swap flash from one to the other ecu.
    -make ecu virgin.

    Why is best way to swap ecu?

    Immo off is possbile.
    For you... just swap eprom (27C256) and be done. Max need sync ews+ecu with inpa.

    This type ecu doesn’t have the 27c256 eprom. Already tried to go that way, no succes..

    I have searched on the pcb for burns and odd spots but nothing to see.

    What can I look for at heatsinks?

    you will not see visual damage on them..

    take off clips and make measurements with DMM, 1 of them will give other value
