When I did my WBX upgrade mods I discovered I did not have an 022D ECU.  I threw it out to the list that I was looking for one and ended up buying a used one from a guy on the right coast for $125.  It worked perfectly and now, a year later, still does.  Just thought I'd mention it as an alternative to an expensive new, or rebuilt ECU.  There must be a lot of perfectly good used ECU's lying around.  After all, it doesn't seem to be an item that goes out too frequently, does it?  At least I don't hear a lot of talk on the list about them being a chronic problem.

Just my .02.

  Normally we sell rebuilt 2.1l Vanagon ECUs for $200 exchange (I need your old 
  ECU).  However right now I am out and my rebuilder is going to be away for 
  about 2 weeks (sounds of Ken weeping- I need one for one of my vans!).  If 
  you could wait a couple of weeks then we could help you.  I have a rebuilt 
  Triumph Adler unit from a different rebuilder available for $499 with a $55 
  core charge.  I usually don't sell these really expensive rebuilds unless my 
  guy is away and someone is in a pinch.  I also have one new unit available 
  for $950 (I know list price is less than this, I have no idea why it is so 
  expensive unless it is no longer available from the dealer).  Just FYI. 

  Thanks,
