Any benefits changing from Motronic 1.1 to 1.3

[Dan in NZ]

I'd quite like to use my "check engine" light, to keep on top of any problems, but when I stick a bulb in the socket it stays lit the whole time, because I have the older DME EPROM. I did the stomp test, but just got 1444, so there were no faults stored. If I acquired a 1.3 EPROM, would I get any more improvements other than a functional check engine light?

By the way... you can change the instrument cluster bulbs without removing the steering wheel... Just gotta wriggle it around a bit till one half of the cluster pokes through the steering wheel. Where's a 32mm socket when you need it???

if you are getting 4 number check engine codes "1444" you probably have 1.3, 1.1 had single number codes and there were only 4 codes total 1,2,3,4. that's how it is in the states, not positive about the euro cars, a 1.3 will plug right in in place of a 1.1 but theres no real benifit. 1.1 was only on 1987 I motors here
