Folks I have an AS3 which is ready for immobilser removal and a couple of earlier Bosch pumps which may be handy...

Hang on a mo before you going getting all excited about engine ECUs! Is this a VSX spec car by any chance? I reckon that ECU is the suspension one. The switch on the top of the pump is, I think, a wide open throttle sensor for the A/C which cuts the compressor when you ask for full beans. The easy way to check if it's ECU controlled is to look at the cold start avance - if it's cable operated from thermostat housing to the back of the pump then it's non ECU. If it's vacuum controlled, then it's ECU. I doubt a 96 is ECU, as my 97 isn't - but then Citroen do lots of things to prove us wrong!

If this is a VSX car with climate control, I might be interested in a couple of bits if you're breaking it :lol:

Rich 100% ECU is for engine.. the car I took my pump off was a 406 TD 1997.

no Hydroactive on that :)


there were other tell tale signs too that there was ECU involvment (although I cant remember what they were)

point taken Rich..

I think I was just trying to say that all of the last incarnations of the TD 1905 engine were ecu controlled, be it Citroen or Pug..

i am very willing to be corrected ;)

I re-read the original post, and it says it's an LX, so no hydractive, and a better study of the picture defo shows a cable harness coming off the engine, over the pump to next to coolant bottle - so it does look like an ECU jobbie.

Mine is 97R, but it's a right parts bin effort - it seems to have been registered by Citroen as a run out model - and is mechanically controlled. Perhaps I'll check the RP no and see when it was built.

So, ignore most of my post above :oops: Comment still stands about bits off busbuddy's car though - if it's got climate control!

Believe it or not I know someone else who's done the same thing!
He actually used the older 1.7TD version out of a BX though.
