A little update - the 6 nuts are now obsolete. You are supposed to only use the thread extensions from now on. The kit now also contains an extended bolt for the ground strap.

Excellent video. I installed you kit on my 2006 Saab 9-3 Sport Combi. Installation went exactly as you instructed. Thank you.

I bought the set and it did include instructions but this video is awesome as help. Thanks!!! Good footage, good sound.

In was able to install two of these without needing to disconnect the ecu harnesses. There is plenty of room to maneuver it out of the way to slip the shield in under it.

why you guys dont disconnect first the battery? thanks for the video

I completely relocated my ECM and got it out of that ridiculous location . I cut and extended the 2 connectors wire trunks .. installed it under the passenger side windshield compartment in front of the cabin filter housing. To put a definite end to all this insanity.

Some of these plates are advertised as made with bakelite.  Use of this product could be hazardous to your health.  Bakelite is made with famaldyhide, and phenol as the main ingredients.  You may want to Wear a Mask when opening to a hot engine bay.  Opt for a different material if you're going to install one of these kits.

FYI:  Formaldehyde is a highly toxic systemic poison that is absorbed well by inhalation. The vapor is a severe respiratory tract and skin irritant and may cause dizziness or suffocation. Contact with formaldehyde solution may cause severe burns to the eyes and skin.

The ECU is installed on the  exhaust manifold, which is filled with cold air from the intercooler. I think this plate is of little use. The only thing that makes sense is to saw ventilation holes on the engine cover. Then there will be an upward flow (convection) of air near the ECU.

Hello, congratulations for your work. Great video and very well explained.
I did the same with my ECU (and having a video like yours would have been a great help) and as it was still giving some heat failure I added a fan connected to the chassis of the car that I turn on with a switch from inside the vehicle.
Although I lowered the failure rate a lot, it is still giving some failures. I think my ECU was already in a very sensitive state to temperatures by the time I wanted to remedy the problem.
I would like to ask you if you know where I can get a replacement part or if there is a reputable ECU repair company you can recommend. Thanks a lot for your work and videos.

IT still hot.Why you do not used AL. heat sink plate and move ECU.near air intake right side by cut 5wires and connect longer .So ECU. will more cool...

Hello j go t this one heat spacer kit and i really feel like my car lost power nothing bad it just dosent feel as fast buh dont get me wrong it still goes

I read on some forums I need to disconnect the black cable on the battery, is that really the case?

Hello.
From were can i buy a spacer kit like that?

will this work on an ECU thats already failing sometimes or do i need to buy a used one thats not having any issues

Awesome and well explained video. One question do you have to disconnect the battery before doing this. Many thanks 🙏

I installed exactly as shown. I went to start the car and it started and ran for about 1 minutes then died.

Very informative!!
Who makes this kit ?
