Re: Which capacitor does what?

Because mine only played up once before.....then just died. Its easy just open her up and look around....you will see if there are any damaged tracks or capacitors or anything by discolouration or corrosion. My Capacitors where 10uf 50v (written on the side of them)- went on amazon and got 5 for 2.9...

Re: Which capacitor does what?

I had a spare that I am using (and helped diagnose issue) but would like to have a go at fixing the ecu myself - was it hard to do I've neve...

Re: Which capacitor does what?

Ok so I soldered in 2 new capacitors...and still no go. I've got some PCB strips coming to fully repair the tracks but I'm getting continuity using a meter.... What is interesting though is that before I repaired the capacitors I had to move the car, on a whim I bolted the ecu back in and it didn't ...

Which capacitor does what?

Hi all, hope your well and with the rain driving safely :) I have 2 damaged and leaking capacitors in my ecu... But does anyone know what the capacitor situated at number C512 does? I believe C810 is related to idle control valve? I'm hoping something here is related to my lack of injection pulse......
