And of course there's one on the forum, TOTALLY DIFFERENT inside see here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....8&postcount=17
Cams and microswitches, not tracks. And Audiworld has a better-sized view:

It's an interesting bit of total rethink redesign, presumably just to put a bit of extra functionality (and an extra wire) inside what is effectively the same size casing with the same rotating physical input.

I'd put money on it being an incompatibility between the newer F125 switch and older TCU.
Though how you solve it, heavens only knows...…….. Ideas on a postcard please!

Is it worth the risk of putting the original TCU back or would it cause a problem with an older gearbox?
