CLG Performance

When someone opens the ECU before sending it out to you and you find pads and components missing on the board. Usually I will not take these jobs if its already opened but in this case it came from a friend's shop and they wanted me to take a look. Hopefully ill sort this one out. No com to scantool on the car but I have communications on the bench. Almost thinking its sonething else taking the CAN Bus down in the vehicle. This ECU could be damaged or just missing the one component. Ill have to check my documents for this ecu to see what was there as Ive worked on this type before and took plenty of photos. Almost need another HDD since Im running out of space for my own testing database

1982 VW bus ECU and Idle and OSX repair. Took some time to find good parts for it. Ordered some parts online that ended up being fakes unfortunately and was the only ones I could find so I started looking for alternative parts with same specs from one of the good tested unit. Luckly I had a good ecu to test from and I had to add another online company to the do not source parts from list. Its been a long process so this may be the last few of these ECUs that will work on since I cant get parts anymore and have to substitute some other parts. The industry to repair vintage equipment is slowly fading unfortunately and that makes older running vehicles become more expensive. I also could convert to a more modern ECU but many collectors like the original stuff. Soon they will not have a choice but to sway to a more modern ecu like what I had to do for the 308 Ferrari last year.
