C180 Kompressor engine swap
Hi,
I have just aquired the above vehicle with a seized engine. I have access to another engine with block and head. I am looking at replacing the engine and just adding the ancilliarly parts from the old engine.
My question is, how do I stand with the ECU and security system?
Can I just use the system on the old car and just change the engine?
Will the ECU require resetting from a dealer or will it just be a straight swap ie. new engine in turn key and it starts?
Thanks for your help.

If you are using all the electronics from the old car you should be fine with doing a sub assembly & head change.

Hi Glyn,
Thanks for the advice. I kind of suspected that I might get away with it but had to factor any visit to the stealership before going ahead.
Many thanks,
Warren
