C70: - C70 Roof ECU location

Taffyred · Apr 29th, 2010, 23:43

Anyone know the location of the roof control / ECU on a 2003 C70 ragtop. Garage have finally tracked down the cause of the non functioning roof and told that they tried another control unit and roof worked fine. They quoted me £1200 for new ECU, advised me to find a part cheaper and they would fit it for me. Got the part now want to fit myself, simple job of 4 plugs and 2 screws, just need to know where in the car it goes.

Cheers

Darren

In the boot area, I think behind one of the side panels. I also think you will need it programmed to the car and syncronised with the roof?

I am sure someone els may confirm this.

hoping that it will just be a case of fitting the unit and pressing the roof button, otherwise it will be off to the garage again so they can charge another 50 quid for an hours labour that last 15 mins lol

If you need further help I can try and email you the notes from a Vadis workshop book. I note we are almost neighbours!

Found it!, its drivers side next to the rear light cluster. Dead easy to fit however now it needs to be synchronised. Roof only opened half way and then had to close it manually. Looks like it will have to go Volvo now anyway.

If you keep trying it it may adapt eventually.
