Hi guys,
My MK60 DSC must have gone bad. It sporadically shows 5DF5 ECU-internal fault, depending on the outside temperature. Interestingly this is rare in winter but very prevalent in summer or after long drives, whenever the ECU seems to get hotter.
No other faults in memory, no steering or wheelspeed sensor codes.
I already found DSC MK60 replacement and INPA Install and How to Change ABS ASC Control Module - Trifecta - #5DF5... especially the latter containing two awesome PDF files.
My car is a 330ci, production date november-2001 and initial registration mai-2002.
I can ONLY see the part number of the pump, which is 34.51-6759045, and the whole unit is located under the break-fluid on the driver's side, pretty complicated to get to.
Now I have two questions:
1st:
Is the mapping DSC pump to ECU part number really 1:1, meaning, I simply need to search for the whole block (ecu+pump) for the number 6759045, which relates to the ECU number 6759047? Just the "four wheel drive" irritates me, because mine isn't ... This is the mapping from the PDF guide. So I must have the MK60 DSC II...
2nd:
Is it really "so easy" to code the VIN into the ECU, don't I need to take any "backup" of any settings of the old ECU?
It just sounds too easy... I used NCS in the past and I trust myself to be able to do it, as well as the INPA LWS calibration.
Why I'm asking is:
A replacement unit would be available for 60€.
Much better than sending in my own ECU to a ecu-repair service which is 350€ instead.
The replacing of the ECU itself will be done by the garage, the coding by me.
Am I overlooking anything?
Thanks so much for your efforts, these guides here are really awesome! Not seen so much and detailled information as in the linked threads in the german forums, really crap in comparisson
Thanks!!!
