999 What Have I Done?

  1. yeah unfortunately it's the top bolt so no chance of getting grips in there.. not having much luck am I! Was thinking I'd hack off the battery box and put a replacement one there after. Anyone got one to flog?
     
  2. As already suggested, knocking a torx bit of an appropriate size into the rounded off allen bolt should do the trick and allow you to extract the bolt.
     
  3. ok will give it a go tomorrow. Cheers!
     
  4. I'm curious to see where this ends up...

    Can you access the ecu via the diagnostic port? Or did you pull those codes through the dash.
    I fried my ecu, and after replacing it, and can no longer connect with my laptop. I'm wondering if perhaps I've burnt out a wire somewhere.

    Probably not the same issue, but I'm looking at every angle here.
     
  5. Through the dash
     
  6. Alright, well do let us know what you come up with, and good luck!
     
  7. If that doesn't work you can always simply drill the head off the Allen bolt, so you can get the box off.
    It should work though.
    Probably worth spraying the bolt with penetrating fluid or WD40 first and letting it work it's way in for a bit.

  8. It is likely that you have fried your KKL lead. Try a replacement

  9. I opened it up and everything looked alright, but that certainly is a possibility. Grabbed my bluetooth adapter and will try connecting tonight with my phone to test it out.
     
  10. How do you get access with laptop, where is the plug? what cables do I need and what software?
     
  11. It says 2001-2004 models take it that counts my 1199 out then.
     
  12. Does the 1199 have a 5am ecu? If so, it should work
     
  13. I have no idea but I can find out Saturday, think siemens was mentioned when serviced last week.
     
  14. Just googled it... sadly it does not. I think the last model with 5am was the 1198.
     
  15. Ahhhh so its dealer if I want anything done.
    I would like the fan to come on at lower temp think they come on at 103
     
  16. For now, yes. But what Chrisw said is promising, give it time.

    Sorry 531Al for the derail. Back to business
