    Question P1 Swapping ECUs ??????

    Happy new year to all,

    Anyone know if bosh ECUs are specific to a single car type....
    I have a 1998 P1 2.5LPT auto, motronic 4.3 B5254T present ECU 0-261-204-457 K12
    I would like a spare to send away to be chipped....
    On researching V70 2.5t ------456
    S70 2.5t-------457
    Any Ideas If C70 would do ,or any other as long as I guess Its for a B5254T
    Auto ? Is it all to do with the software set, and would this not be changed by the remap chipping ?
    thanks Kim
