Skyhook

[Mücke]

Was meint ihr,ist einer von den Elkos defekt? Ich kann nix erkennen außer bei den braunen da ist der Fuß etwas dunkler als der obere Teil vom Elko,der schwarze sieht gut aus oder meint ihr ich soll beide wechseln?

Of course you need to change them both. Their life is 2000h working time at higher temperatures, which really are higher in the ecu box because the highpower switching chips are normally quite hot. It's not the only thing that brakes down in the ecu according to time, there are even more problems and after my research it's good to get the ecu refubrished each 6 years.

OK thanks Vlad,
I will simply look on Tuesday 2.new inserting and sometimes whether does the lamp of the Skyhook remain then from what have you made for experiences with it or can it also be something else this shines the lamp? Or could it be these are the sensors on the rear axle which have become wet to the plug?

If you have an skyhook fault than it's a different problem. As I've said there are more problems. I can repair the ecu if you like. There are no sensors for skyhook on the rear axle. The rear sensor is in the trunk, inside. The sensor can cause problem too, and they really are because they are getting old too, the same as the ecu, the problem is they don't like hot and they are situated above the engine and on the wheels where they hate extreme shocks. Unfortunately now it seems that I can refubrish only 2006 and later sensors.

Thanks for the offer Vlad, I think the 2nd electrolytic capacitors I create, only like do I recognise plus and minus on the board with the electrolytic capacitors the legs differently are long white where plus and minus is, does this know you?

[vlad47]

The white mark means minus , first one goes to the connector and the second one to the chip

Hello i am new our forum i have Thesis everything is ok. Do skyhook software can be off and to put a replacement shock absorbers or to overhaul existing without senzora.Soory because of errors that is google translator.

Why do you want to overhaul your shockabsorbers? I find it really useless. No point except money spending.
But if you really do want to overhaul them, there's a company in Poland overhauling also this electronic shockabsorbers.
