Uch control unit

[Jason123]

Hi, can anyone help, I've got a renault Clio 2002 and the wipers don't work, after abit of investigating I've found out its because of the uch control unit, can anyone recommend where I can get a new one and get it reprogrammed, as the main dealer is quoting me silly money! Many thanks

Happy new year guys!
There are quite a few threads about uch and did not want open a new one, hope it is ok.
A friend of mine asked me to get him a UCH for his clio, which is mk2 ph2 2004 1.4 16V. I have got the part number 8200621762.
The only place i have found the uch on ebay, but there is the tricky part. The ads on ebay is for 1.2 v8 see the link below

Now my question is, that is it ok to buy that uch as it states it is for a 1.2 v8?

The ecu, key and uch are matched so wont work unless you swap immobiliser chip from old uch. Get the old one repaired or buy a full set to suit the correct engine.

Ok I see, so it means there is no other way like using clip to reprogram the secondhand uch?

As far as im aware you can only program a virgin uch with clip to suit another ecu/immobiliser. I guess if you had key to suit uch you could get somewhere to reset the ecu immobiliser, but still most likely cheaper to buy a working full set.
