   I've found a ecu with the same ecu number as my as my vtr ecu but this one is a peugeot 306 ecu but i rang the dealer he said it would fit because there both french models but then he said it might need programming to my car so should i take the risk of buying it or not any advice would help cheers

   If you need one that badly, look hard for a delocked one mate. I put another ECU on my old VTS and it just didnt work. Started then cut out. The other ECU will be programmed to time the fuel etc to the other car and with it being a different car i would not risk it. If it was same car as yours, maybe but still not worth it.
