Do I Have An Eprom?

[jd1828]

this is the ecu from my 92 tsi. i cant get the cover off all the way because of one :censored: screw. i tried for a half hour and there is not much left of the screw. so i just lifted the edge of the cover enought to get a pic.

Yes, the large chip right in front ther labled E931 is it.

For future reference and the archives if they're ever used. On 1G ECU's, the small "E" in the lower right corner of the white sticker on the outside of the case signifies it's an Eprom. I believe the 95 ECU's have the same marking as well. Also, all GVR-4's have an Eprom ECU.

Use a vice grip to get the screw cracked loose.

Not all 1G's with an E in the right corner mean EPROM. Both of my 90's had an E in the corner and neither were EPROM.

Andy were you ever able to get ahold of a '90 EPROM?

It's kind of a long story that's not yet complete. As soon as it is complete I'll post it up.

Hmmm, strange. Todd Day himself gave me that tip, it's been true on every one I've had.

[john]

dsmlink.com says that all with an E are eprom.

[CVD]

To the best of my knowledge only 2G's can be relied on to have the "E" for Eprom.
