Help with 986 ECU Repair
Hello Everyone,
This is my first post on this forum and I am surely in need of your expertise I am going to attempt fixing my 1999 boxster dme. The car has had a variocam problem ever since I bought it few months back. After replacing the solenoid I traced the problem to the ECU. I called around and got a quote of $650 to solve this problem. I decided to try and fix this myself first since for that much money I could find a used ECU and have the dealer program it for me. So I am not too worried about ruining this one. Once I got inside the ecu I found a burnt Bosch transistor with the following #30046 44108.1 9908 written on it. I've tried locating a replacement, but without much success. Any ideas where to find one or any suggestions for a different brand replacement? Btw, I have ordered a couple of IRFZ44's which are on their way. I also found these Bosch BIP373 on http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/b...kit-p-230.html Would any one of those work as a replacement? I thought it'd be best to ask someone before going ahead with this repair. Thanks in advance.
