Moisture/Water in ECU when using CP-E Plug 'n Play

[btkrausen]

Anybody have any issues with water/moisture in their ECU or on ECU pins when using the cp-e PnP? I've had mine for about 5-6 months, and water got down to the pins, allowing corrosion. Now, its costing me $1862 to get the ECU replaced.

The main problem is the failure to plug the slots in the connectors. The factory connectors have orange tabs to fill the gap, where as the cp-e plugs do not, allowing water to drip down into the ECU.

Just trying to see if anybody has had any problems, as I know of 2, including myself. If you are using, might wanna take a quick glance at your setup. I'd hate for the same corrosion to happen to more people.

another fine example of why a lot of aftermarket companies (especially in america) don't pay attention to details... the customer ends up screwed or have to pay extra money to make their s*** work right!

you should use dielectric grease in the connectors if it doesn't have a weather seal!

This is why I wired my XEDE in myself. No problem with water getting anywhere. Solder + Heat shrink + Electrical tape = almost factory look/quality.
