No that's Ok, he's only talking about the plastic shielding around the engine, this is not connected to the airbox.

The main problem I'm having fitting it is the ECU, I think on the TDi's they are mounted in a different place? I never actually fitted it properly because the ECU prevented it, I just lined it up

Hello again,

ItÂ´s a shame Nelson

my ECU itÂ´s in the right side of the car and no problem at all.

I only have to dismount one piece in the top of a suspension tower (left) and run...

I mounted the bar in a Seat dealer

Yeah, the FSi has a different ECU bracket and theres no way it'll fit

admittedly I havent seen the bays... but could you not relocate the ECU with a TDi bracket? Your warrenties invalid if you fitted that chip anyway...

It's no good if the ECU won't fit in the bracket. If its different its probably different for a good reason.

is your location of the ECU the same for all petrol engined 9Ns?

Nelson_Wilbury · Post by **Nelson_Wilbury** » Sun May 23, 2004 3:39 pm

Same general location, but it the FSi ECU is bigger and so the bracket sticks out a bit more...

Compare my old 1.2 with Petrifieds FSi engine shot earlier in the thread...

Yes, your ECU seems to be bigger than the rest of ECU's

You have to sell the car and buy a TDI

Guys..

Is it possible to fit into a 1.4 16V 100ps, other than Seat is there any other OEM/aftermarket product available?

Will it fit on my 1.2 65hp Twist?

I'll buy it from whoever was selling it if it does!
