How much trouble is it to remove the computer, where is it located?
Thanks

 

Behind the passenger side fender. Chuck Cow, supporting vendor has a good write up on removing it.

Hey man ...Have a look at this....This is an 06 C6 A6 car, but your car will be very similar....

Have a look at the bottom of the second page and it shows the different controllers (computers) you're looking for by year...

If you have any questions....just call me any time!

which "computer"?

 

The PCM, the BCM, the EBCM .... or radio ???? ... even the radio has a small processor in it, and all the computers in the car can talk to each other on the Class2 serial bus.

 

Engine control computer....(ECM for later cars) or Powertrain computer (PCM for cars where the transmission controller is integral with the ECM)

Call me if you have questions.

Chuck .... re-read the original post .....

How much trouble is it to remove the computer, where is it located

the poster never said which computer ... you appear to be the one who is assuming he wants to remove the PCM ... but maybe someone told him the computer for his brakes needs replacing (EBCM). If the OP doesn't even realize there are multiple computers in the car and he has NO IDEA where "it" is in the car ... how do we know which one he means - Maybe the BCM ????

 

Maybe we should ask him.....

Engine control computer.

 

Ahhhh ... then Chuck CoW has given you the answer ..... and it is a good one.

 

Do like I did with my prior Vette....Swerve to miss a deer, caught the curb which then pulled the car to the right and swiped a pole and tada... the computer was laying on the road under the car.

 

BE GONE you Demon with horror stories! I will counter your tale of death and destruction with visions of bunnies and flowers alongside the road as I cruise by...undamaged, and unfettered..
