Corsa Jan 2007 - Vauxhall Corsa control unit problem - Dusty1

Tried to start my corsa and a warning light showing the letter " F " illuminated and car wouldnt start. Contacted my local garage (not vauxhall) and they didnt know what it was.

Contacted local Vauxhall garage explained and they informed me it was a problem with my automatic gear box. The car has a manual gear box!

I booked the car in and tried again to start the car, so took the car in.

Phonecall from vauxhall:

Investigated " F " display, carried out various tech test, various non present trouble codes stored but no communication with ecu.

Informed that I would need a new ecu.

Is this an isolated fault?? and why the warning code " F " ???

any advice welcome.

Probably stands for fail or fault regarding comms failure from the ecu.Might be worth taking out the plug and spraying inside the plug and socket with some contact cleaner.
