ChrisSZ Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I have one of those too (and no ABS)!! I asume it's standard fit but redundant without the rest of the ABS system??? I left well alone just in case it has some input into the main ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 i have one in mine Isnt this where the active spoiler ecu lives? along with other eletronic doberrys Ric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 i think you'll find that the ABS stamp is referring to the plastic its made from. Im quite sure its the ECU for the leccy aerial or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im quite sure its the ECU for the leccy aerial or something like that LOL!!! Now you say that I remember!! I tried to figure it out and whilst I was checking the connections on my head unit I heard it clicking in time to the leccy aerial going up and down!!

Supradan Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 the smaller brown one is for the aerial I was just going to say i cant believe they would fit an ecu to control an electric aerial lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I was just going to say i cant believe they would fit an ecu to control an electric aerial lol i agree but its a bit strage that its bolted up to the stereo assembly. I wonder what it actually is then:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
