Packing guide

How to remove, pack and post your ECU so it gets here safely.

1. Before you remove it

• Make your booking first and wait for your job number.
• Photograph the ECU in place and the plugs before you unplug anything.
• Disconnect the battery and wait at least 5 minutes.

2. Removing it

• Unplug using the connector's release lever or clip. Never pull on the wires.
• Keep brackets, bolts and covers with the vehicle.
• Not confident? Any local workshop can remove it for you, usually in 15 to 30 minutes.
• Don't drive the vehicle while the ECU is away.

3. Packing it

• Put the ECU in an anti-static bag if you have one, or a clean sealed plastic bag.
• Cover the connector pins with tape or the original cap so nothing bends them.
• Use a sturdy box with at least 5 cm of bubble wrap or foam on every side. It shouldn't move when you shake the box.
• Put your signed job sheet in the box.
• Write your job number clearly on the outside of the box.

4. Posting it

• Post it with tracking. We'll email you the postal address with your job number.
• We recommend adding Australia Post Extra Cover for the value of the ECU. Postage to us is at your risk.
• Email us the tracking number.

5. When it comes back

• Plug the ECU back in, reconnect the battery, and turn the key to ON for 30 seconds before starting.
• If anything isn't right, email us before you drive it. Revisions within 30 days are free.
