998 ecu plug/socket seal - where can I get some?

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by efcbluepete, Dec 4, 2012.

  1. Hi,

    after swapping out my standard cans and carbon termis (not sure if 45 or 50mm) Too often, I have found that the blue silicone seals around the ecu plugs (wiring loom side (actually sockets, as they carry the female part of the connector, but that's just being pedantic)) have torn a lot.

    have tried a coupler of main dealers who will only offer the full loom, and am reduced to experimenting with various greases and sealants.

    does anybody on here know where to get hold of some of them?

    Thanks for any help,

    Pete
     
  2. Hi Pete.

    If I remember correctly, the ecu is an IAW 59M. If it is, get your self down to your local car breakers yard and find yourself a 1200cc Fiat Punto ....the ecu is the same (different software on it obviously) so the plugs and seals will fit yours.

    The Ecu is located at the top of the engine under the air box.

    I have had full Punto wiring looms off eBay for £1 +P&P, to make off bike Ecu connectors for Ducatidaig. So it's still worth buying the full loom just to get your seals.

  3. Nice one Anth. Thanks.

    Will have a shufty at the weekend.
     
  4. I might even have some plugs laying around that I can pull the seals out of if you get stuck.
     
  5. Have a look at snorkelbat shop on ebay it has a few types of plugs.

  6. Did a shop search, and anything with snorkel in it are dive/scuba shops. Don't suppose a linky for a Luddite could be posted?

    thanks,

    Pete

  8. Thanks Derek. Yes, only full connectors, but I have sent an email anyway, just to see if they can source them.

    cheers,
