Turns out the eprom is a surface-mount 27C1024 so I'm not messing with that - I don't have the gear to remove and re-fit it. Bottom right with the sticker on it.
However, having realised I have almost all the parts needed to do the manual swap I put the original manual ECU number in to ebay for a laugh. One available, in Lithuania, for £100 delivered! Er, yoink! So, if anyone reading the thread is pondering buying this when its done, you've got two weeks to get in touch and let me know whether you want it manual or automatic In the meantime, I'll be working out how to make my clutch pedal solution work with the PF's accelerator cable... |

I do have the tools to remove it and put it back on and I'll be passing by your workshop next week, you are welcome to borrow them or I can do it for you.
If the board has conformal coating on it it will be a pain to do it. |

I’ll buy the ecu if you want to convert mine instead

If Ronin is on board with socketing the ECUs then that's certainly one less hurdle. There's still a very limited amount of manual parts though. If I convert this one I'm almost certainly sacrificing the swap in my grey FL, or at least not being able to do it with factory parts. |

That's interesting, I sold my spare headlight washer pressure cylinder to someone in Lithuania, it took weeks to get through customs so be prepared to wait!

No, those are the facelift versions on eBay. Very different if you are familiar with them.
The originals are the ones to have, the centres are rare as rocking-horse poo!

Fuel line clips all replaced
The fuel line from the filter was very crusty so I replaced the banjo fitting and hose, along with the filter of course. New TRW brake hoses This rear brake line is very crusty so will also be replaced Brand new rack-side PS pressure hose, plus refurbished front pressure hose and return. Fitted Nice of Audi to put marks on pipes so they can be lined up PS hoses fitted with a new clip, and the replacement brake line also in place. Manual ecu on the left, auto on the right... |
