Can you find me this replacement part ANYWHERE?

[Tuvra]

Hi all.

I am Having huge problems sourcing an ECU for a Citroen Berlingo van, its the 1.9 HDI lump & these ECU's seem to be non existant. I have phones the main dealer and the guys there were excellent, they revealed to me that the part is an engine ecu, Citroen part number: 1938XF.

If anyone can find one of these without paying main dealer prices, which is an eye watering £804.92+ VAT, i would be ever so grateful.

Regards

There's one on Ebay too, although it's "refurbished": http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-BERLINGO-PARTNER-1-9...

I dont think that is the unit im after, I am pretty sure the ECU on the van is a Siemens unit.

Its very frustrating as the Siemens units were only produced in limited numbers (because they were st) and replaced by Bosch units. Apparantley the kind of ECU fitted to the van cannot be re-programmed or refurbished etc either - it really sucks

Any help?

I see they're out of stock. Doh!

It would appear that the site thinks it's likely a lucas part, rather than Siemens.

If the part was later replaced by Citroen with one from Bosch, could you not source one of those instead? I'm guessing it's not that easy..

before you get a second hand one check with you auto sparky that they are not coded to the car and key

some are ive done one on a 206 and they can not be recoded. ie you must buy a new one and pay pug to code it to the car.

GSF?

No sign of it on GSF, I have emailed them to see if they can help me out though, excellent suggestion.

Thanks for the advice Hoppo, tbh I am not hopeful of finding a second hand one, and as you rightly say I dont think they can be re-programmed to the van in anycase, this is the reason no one can overhaul the unit currently in the van. Citroen are happy to install a suitable part for £40 which seems very reasonable!

I would love to get this part as its a lovely running van in a nice spec (rear sliding door, rear fold down seats etc).

I would be happy to pay upto £400 or so for a refurbed/new unit as long as it worked for definate, im not looking for a cheap fix - £800+VAT is far to strong for me though

Fit and program an Emerald ECU?

/I don't have anything really useful to say or help, but I'm wondering if it would be possible with a modern diesel lump?

This guy did the the work with warrenty for around £200 car was fine once it went back in.

Thanks Pie Boy, I have rung around all ECU specialists offering refurb services, all have kindly declined as soon as I read the serial number off the unit. Apprantley it cant be worked on

Im at a total loss, and if PH's cant find one, no one will!
