Brand spanking new TCI unit arrived toady from Wunderdartz in Donny. It claims to be a replacement for 191 905 351 B, it has the same shape alu baseplate and the connector is the same. Fitted it and van cranks but doesnt start. Put old TCI unit on, van starts straight up. Swap them back over - nothing. GRRRRRRR..... The part is made by TRUCKTEC automotive - has anyone ever heard of them?

thought I would update this thread. Problem solved - it was the coolant sensor. Someone in the vans past had swapped the temp gauge and ECU temp senders position, so I ended up swapping out the temp gauge (non-functioning) sender :run . My mechanic measured resistance cos someone added the series/ parallel hot-start resistors into the loom. Once I realised this, I swapped the senders over and voila, it runs as sweet as.
:ok
