Does your DME get hot?

[hardtailer]

DME stands for something similar to Digital Motronic Electronics.
It's Bosch's name for the ECU in your car. It's a computer of sorts that controls gasoline and spark delivery for your car.

it stands for digital motor electronics, the BMW(!) name for the electronic control unit that controls ignition and fuel injection (in a single casing). Motronic is the BOSCH registered trademark for the same thing.

So I called Progama to find out how much they would give me on my old DME(b/c it says on their website they buy broken ones).... $45 :focker:

I know they charge their customers a 200 core and they would resell my DME for about 500 bucks.

WTF is that crap...i'll just hve it repaired :idea:

haha. "DME" was said 20-30 times just in that first page alone, thought another one wouldnt hurt. Sorry I cant offer any real help.

You're as useless as my DME.

To expand on what Chris said....IIRC, the core on the DME is quite large so, the actual cost is closer to $400 than the $600+ I stated before.
