Anyone ever moved the bcu on a d2 to a higher location?

and anyone got any tips on water proofing the td5 so far I have snorkel, extended breathers, ecu relocation

Show us a pic with your Td5 submarine

Its reasonably common knowledge that D2s arent watertight enough and too ECU heavy to really wade successfully. Others may disagree but a good old tdi is a far better bet, or a more modern vehicle with better seals.

Beg to differ. TD5s, if prepped right are great.

Ive had my 110 windscreen depth a few times and had no real issues!

D2 i agree is a bit different but still can be made to work. Either using ECU extension harnesses or sealing the electrics in an IP rated box.

Even without moving the ecu I’ve have had my d2 deep enough that I have had to go fully underwater to get to a recovery point and only problem I’ve ever had was water getting into the fuel tank and my filter got sucked up so I feel as long as the bcu and ecu stay dry everything should be “relatively” ok
