BMW X5 ecu glue

Postby FirmButton » Thu Jul 18, 2019 9:34 am

Trying to open a bmw e53 2008 3.0d ecu, but it glued hard down one side, the heat sink side. No glue around the edge like in various pictures on google. I can prise lid open on the side with no glue about quater of an inch. Any tips on getting the glue the end to give up rather that rip the pcb apart?

In the end I cut a hole in the lid rather than force it. Not pretty but functional.

Hot Air gun with nozzle removed and heat set to 380 deg C & flow on 60%,
heat the edges for a few minutes all around and lift, really easy

Hi. Mate, unusually, this one has no seal all the way round, just 4 screws and a very hard glue that won’t budge even with heat:-( so i cut a hole in it lol.
Need help with egr and dpf off though, posted all the files in the other thread.
Cheers chap

Why you shouldnt could to on bench?
No need for opening if you dont want do via bdm...

on heat sink side thats grey fluid is no glue... also edc16, DDE7... its easy to open.
EDC17/ MEVD17 more harden (if you need to open).
