In this video, you will see where the ECU (Engine Control Unit) is located on the Opel Astra model H. The ECU is positioned at the upper part of the engine, right at the back. It is identifiable by its large rectangular shape.

To remove and replace it if necessary, disconnect the connector and then unscrew the four nuts that secure it. Once removed, you can also reprogram it by connecting it to a PC and reinserting it. If replacement is necessary, you will then need to reprogram the key, radio, and windows of the vehicle.
