C3 Sensodrive Gearbox ECU Waterproofing

Post by Citroen154 »

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a waterproof cover available for the Sensodrive Gearbox ECU please ?

It is in a very low position on the end of the gearbox and very susceptible to water ingress, as I have just found to my cost - Does it need to be mounted so low and actually on the gearbox ? It is basically just sending electrical signals to the gearbox selector unit and clutch actuator unit, so why does it need to be mounted in that position ?

You could make your own. Not standard Denso tape as I mentioned though. There is a fireproof version, but not freely available. I have sealed the joints in my ecu boxes with black RTV sealant. The are at the rear of car under the floor.
