Looking for a porsche 944 ecu

Hi,
my garage has told me that the ecu for my 1988 porsche 944 has failed. The cost for a new ecu is very expensive. I've gotten some quotes to have the ecu repaired, but repairing it is also very expensive.
I'd be keen to get advice on getting a 2nd hand ecu instead of buying new. The ecu is a Bosch motronic unit (Bosch part no: 0261 200 086).
Thanks!

I regularly check ebay, but for it to work I need one which matches the part number of my old one, and the same year. Have seen it on ebay twice but lost out on both occasions.0

get yourself an auction sniper for last second ebay bidding
it would be worth joining all the porsche forums you can find, most have classified sections0 -
Try Porschapart - need to ring them on 07000 924 944
HTH.if it's more than 10 stone, and that hairy, it's probably not a dog...it may be a wookie.0 -
Thanks for all your ideas so far.
Porker, I'll give them a call.0 -

Secondly, buy a copy of 911 & Porsche World magazine. The various Porsche breakers advertise there, so ring round them all.
Thirdly, when you search on eBay, make sure that you search world-wide and not just UK.
Best of luck!
