On the passenger side (i.e. right as you look into the bonnet) at the back near the window is a black box, undo the screws. The ECU is behind the fuses, should be labelled VDO or BOSCH.

For US spec

The ECU should be on engine bay, the side that close to the firewall & front windshield on the "passenger side".

There should be a black covering (in triangle-like shape) that covers the ECU and the tranny module.

The ECU and tranny module are mounted on the same metal bracket (back to back). Once you found the ECU location you would need to unscrew the screw that secure the metal bracket .

Once you do that that, you could slide out the whole "ECU+metal bracket+Tranny module" sandwhich out (unplug all the wiring harness before take it out). Then you could unbolt the ECU piece from the "sandwhich" :).

Hope this helps.
