Left (big) black ecu subconnector spare part code

ZX_DIO · 12-17-2007, 04:22 PM

I broke my black left subconnector (bigger one) trying to pick out jb1 females that didn't want to come out from (imho due to lower quality than originals)... the code starts with 167... anyone could check it out please?
I have to order a new one and transfer all the females from original one inside the new one to try again to install the jb2...

I don't know the part, but when taking out the jb1/jb2 connectors, you have to press on the little lock twice... once to get it out part way, then 2nd time once its part way out to clear the 2nd notch. The design is a little different from stock BMW ones, I noticed, which require 1 extra push.

ZX_DIO · 12-17-2007, 04:33 PM

i tried to push gently a lot of times...but it didn't work...

sambonator · 12-17-2007, 04:37 PM

Is it possible you inserted the connector with the notch facing the wrong way? If so it could get stuck in there...

ZX_DIO · 12-17-2007, 04:39 PM

i did not think about this possibility...so maybe it was my fault...
I hope only to resolve this situation...

Hi,

Why don't you go to a dealership and order the part ? You don't have to explain why. It's that simple, really.

It's X60005. Now I did the work of your dealership. They have the WDS.

Ciao,

Where do you get all this info Eugen? Maybe you secretly work for BMW? Haha Just Kidding!

e.n335 · 12-18-2007, 10:49 AM

I bought the software, ETK and WDS.

G33 · 12-18-2007, 12:00 PM

i didnt break the subconnector. i broke the bit that slides into it that locks it in position! even the dealer isnt exactly sure on the part number as theres a pic of one but whether it is the left or right one is any1s guess so i ordered it anyway....

Can you elaborate on what software, ETK, and WDS mean and/or stand for?

Thank you!

Your dealership should know. Too much effort to search for parts for the forum. Thank you for understanding. However, the part looks good if you broke it on the smaller connector.

G33 · 12-18-2007, 01:08 PM

i went to the dealership and they couldnt find it. only found the one i found :'(

Hi G33, I poked around in my ETK and couldn't find that slider part either.

On the plus side as long as you have a replacement ECU cover and ziptie down the ECU connector you should be good to go while looking for that slider part.

G33 · 12-18-2007, 01:59 PM

shoudl i pull out the silver bit (the main ecu) and ziptie around that?!?!

Yes, a very large ziptie, or perhaps a piece of string.

G33 · 12-18-2007, 02:39 PM
