A 93 Eurovan in Europe is probably not worth more than a couple of grand (at
best) these days. The prices for ECUs, depending on the model and it's age
can be more than whatever the vehicle is truly worth. Looking at Python
Injection's price list for rebuilt ECUs, they range as low as $150 to $800
for VW models. This ECU is not mentioned in their database (not surprised)
and my contact, when using the ATP function in the most updated ETKA
couldn't even tell me what model the ECU is even originally installed on,
even though the number(s) are in VAG's database.
