Ecu Part Numbers

[redders74]

hi can anyone tell me the difference between ecu part number 038 906 019 FA and 038 906 019 BF?

i dont know for sure mate but when i replaced my air con pressure switch on my gal for one from a vw passat i compared part numbers and they were exactly the same apart from the letters at the end , even though it was the same part. id guess both ecu s are exactly the same . maybe there just made by different suppliers and that s what the letters indicate....

The last codes are FINISH codes (not to be confused with Fords FINIS system) - basically details revisions and options. The last F should be a revised ecu of the A but the preceding F and B would be a worry as its more likely that the ECU is coded for a different engine,

For your reference they are both listed to suit the AUY 115 engine.

 

038 906 019 FA (AUY 2000>3)

038 906 019 BF (AUY 2001>5)

 

Clearly the BF is a revised ECU but its almost certainly software only so either should suit fine.

thanks both for your fast replies...

 

the reason i`m asking is in my haste i bought the following :-

in the hope i would kill a few birds with one stone. few birds being i`ve only one key (a key that won`t allow me to program it to open the doors remotely), rear door lock dosen`t work all rusted up inside and passenger door lock is different to the rest.

 

when i say haste its only when i looked at the ecu codes mine being the FA one that i realised they were different...

 

i was wondering would the BF ecu work on my car???

I forget what car you have (add it to your signature for future posts) but if its a Mk2 115 then it *should* be fine
