200 ECU on ebay

[Geraint Lloyd]

Didn't mean to make a fuss.
It just struck me as a bit silly, especially as he
says the car is running.
He also fails to mention if its a FWD or Quattro,
which does make a
difference to the ABS control box.
I sent him a mail to that effect, but he doesn't seem
to have changed
the add.

it is also listed in Emission Systems on Ebay

Anyway, I said, I didn't mean to make a fuss, but
thought that I should
share my discovery, since it had a modicum of comedy
value on an
otherwise grey and dreary monday afternoon in montreal
