Ecu Clamp Removal.

[farhanali89]

alright all! been trying to do this for ages. I located the ecu and its behind the glovebox. You have to remove the glovebox and the lower plastic part to see it. There is a clamp which holds the ecu in place but it also covers half the wiring. I need to get to the wiring but i cant. There are these screws which are like torx but have a small pin in the middle. They look like torx security screws. I have a used torx security keys but some of mine dont fit. The ones that look like the will fit have do not accomodate the pin sizeon the screw. Anyone know what size key ill need?

also is there a wiring pinout diagram for our ecu? which tells you which wire is for what.

I just took mine out last week and it was just 5min job.

They are stars id say, not torxs(5 instead of 6) with the security thing in the middle. You can get the a set in Halfords
