![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
My used module failed after a short time working so I'm apprehensive in buying used again. Spending $1800 for new or rebuilt is not the best economics either for coupes you can currently buy for $2500 to $6000.
Has any electronics guru tried to fix these? What's so unique about them besides the connectors? Why does rebuilt cost nearly as much as new?
BTW, let me know if you have a used module, I would still consider it given my choices...![Frown](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

I'm curious also. I don't need one yet, but everyone goes on and on about how expensive even the rebuilt ones are. I can't imagine that we're talking about a massively sophisticated piece of electronics here... mine was made in 1990, and I don't even think my family had a computer back then.

I used a used parts search tool online and some of the replies that came back were for rebuilt units. There were 3 companies offering rebuilt with 1 year warranties for around $600-$650. I am holding off because I unplugged my O2 sensor and the car ran the same as with it plugged in(but that is for another thread) I will see If I have the links.

I'm looking for someone who has come up with their own low cost alternative solution / redesign / adaptation.
