Just bought an ECU off crunchyadams82 and mine has 3J0 on it and the one I bought off him says 300 what's the difference?
Mines 4ws with ABS and cruise control. Is it the same ECU? Need to know difference ASAP Please!

Mine is on top. It's got an extra harness slot

Mine is on the right

Being 4 plug (the one on top) is that TCU enabled and the 3 plug one isn't?

Believe that's right, anyway?

Does your car have TCS and did it have 4 sockets plugged in, or just 3 of them?

Mine uses all 4 I don't know what they are for though. Yeah mine has traction control too. I don't mind if it doesn't have it though. I've taken out the cruise control and taken out the air con so these not needed either. I just need to find out if it would make a difference not using the other socket and just leaving it out

I believe the other socket is for the tcs but I am not sure whether or not the wiring will be any different in the other plugs
