Just wondering if replacing the caps on a VVTi ecu is the same as the TT ecu?

It's the same Process as any ECU really, but you would need to chose the correct capacitors otherwise it wont work.

Change them all otherwise in 6 months one if the old ones will just start leaking. They are 20 years old and due for replacement.

i'm sure there is a photo on this site somewhere showing which ones need to be changed but i couldn't find it.

Can someone link it to here?

Thanks

Hi,

Change every Electrolytic Capacitor that you can see on the board you don't need a picture for it. Don't change any other capacitors unless they are damaged from leaking electrolyte.

Adrian.

OK.

I said change every electrolytic capacitor, that means electrolytic type. These look like little cans, inside they have electrolyte which is like a goo and it has a function while inside. When the capacitor leaks, this goo leaks on the board, this is Bad. So well you replace all the electrolytic capacitors.... but wait the electrolyte that leaked out might have damaged other components, most susceptible are ceramic SMT capacitors. So sometimes you need to replace some of these if the leakage from the OTHER TYPES of capacitors damaged them

Then I said don't change other capacitors, e.g it means other TYPES of capacitors..... e.g SMT....

Don't change any other capacitors unless they are damaged by leaking electrolyte....... because when the electrolytic leak, they can damage other capacitors e.g SMT's.

So the post says to change all electrolytic capacitors because they will all leak soon. But not to change other types of capacitors unless the electrolyte FROM THE ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS
has damaged them.
