Hi there, my girlfriends’ pumas' ECU has water damage.

I've found and fixed where the water was coming in from but need help with replacing the ECU.

The ECU is a TAPE - XS6F-12A650-AHB.

There are plenty of second hand ones on eBay but need advice on the simplest option.

Do i:
1. Buy ECU with same part number (have it recoded for keys to work)
2. Buy ECU with same part number & 2 key chips (fit and change chips over and all works :? )
3. Buy any ECU and have recoded
4. Have Any other option?

or are there other components I have to change as well and other things I have to take into account?

As you can probably tell my knowledge of ECU's isn't that great so any help/advice will be much appreciated

Cheers
 
Oh, ok. Didn't realise i needed that part as well.

I take it i can swap the key (metal part) to the new remote key? and then take the chip from the new master key and put in my master key (behind red square)? So ignition and locks work with new gear etc..
 
Or,you can buy second hand ecu,and desolder 8pin eeprom from your damaged ecu and put it in second hand one and you dont need to recode keys or anything
