I bought a new E-101 knock control unit from Leo at Australia EFI for my Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo (AA model).
The unit is marked as: MD097598 R 6X08 E2T16573
However, I'm not sure whether it's new (ie. if it left Mitsubishi in it's current state) or whether it's a locally repaired unit. Because, it has a white letter R stamped on it just above the E-101. And it's got a bead of really hard black "sealant" around the edge on the top surface, as though the top surface has been cut off at some stage and then put back in place using this very hard sealant.
The aluminium on the back surface is quite scratched. But the black part of the case is in good shape (like new apart from the sealant). The bolt holes don't show any nut marks on them.
Have Mitsubishi been repairing their units prior to sale?
Any thoughts?
Regards,
John
