Volvo says the part is obsolete (motors are 2008), they have no substitution. Dealer is telling me to just get some new motors @50K. The ECM part number is # 3885478
Some ideas we are working on.
1. Calling all part houses in the USA, UK and Australia and the ebay one in Belarus. so far no one has a solution or a part.
2. Get them repaired - 1st tech said they couldn't be fixed, trying another place.
3. Get blanks and get them reprogramed (is this possible), which blanks? and how do I find the software and someone to do it?
4. Get ECM from a Mercrusier (since they both used 8.1 GM block) but didn't know how feasible this is I'm sure alot of parts would need to be replaced.
5. New Engines.
Certainly I'm not the only one with this problem.
Thanks for any information you might have.
