    380 - Good ECU to have?

    I was fiddling around with my glove box, and noticed that I have a 380 ECU. Wasn't 380 the latest of the Motronic 1.3's? Is the 380 a good one to have?

        i had a 380 in my car... changed over to a 524 due to bad idle/running condition. 1.3 is a nice upgrade from 1.1 due to that it was the only thing that made the car run smooth.

            380 maybe was one of the best for 1.1 motronic ;).... 1.3 i would either say 173 or 524 was the best for 1.3 motronic

              Are you sure? I'm looking at a chart that says 380 is 1.3

                hmm, interesting... all i know is that my car was a motronic 1.1 with a 380 and it even says it on the label.

                      87-88 is Motronic 1.1 DME #153 only (154 for Super ETA), everything else 173,380,525, etc are all Motronic 1.3 units. If you have another DME # in ur 87-88 then it was replaced/swapped before.
