• Landrover discovery offroader. - Insurance write off category question 8 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  simple vehicle with no Ecu or airbags to worry about and as an offroader has been built to cope with mud and water etc. The settlement offered is in no way sufficient to purchase a replacement vehicle of the same spec so I'm really keen to keep this vehicle on the road. The insurance company have said
• Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 96 1.3 efi endura e ohv stalling and acceleration 9 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  i know exactly what the problem is, but i think this is going to be very difficult if nothing is showing up on diognostics. one person said it maybe the ecu, someone else said the wiring and the first man at the garage who checked the throttle said the valve has made a pit in the throttle body over

  92 but it sometimes jumps down to around 85 (without fans coming and me reving the engine slightly). Could the ECU be at fault? I really need to get my car back on the road again, i've been unable to work the last 2 weeks and keep spending more money which i don't have! Any help and suggestions
• Saab 9-5 + Hirsch conversion 20 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Saab has recently been trumpeting Hirsch performance upgrades (i.e. ECU remaps) for new 9-5s, but it turns out that anything you can do to a new 9-5 can also be done to an old one, with full Saab and dealer support. This has set me thinking; key points go something like this: * I really
• MINI Cooper D - Mini CooperD DPF fault light - needing urgent help 2 Jun 2017 (Forum)
  by my local mechanic that once the DPF fault is up that the ECU will NOT perform a regen until the code is cleared, is this true?  The car seems to perform ok, although av mpg is only 45 for combined usage so a little low. Bought this only 1 week ago from a garage 150miles
• VW Crafter CR35 2.5TDI - DPF!!! As usual. 20 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  .. They are apparantly backing this up with the ECU readings, the computer is telling them that we are failing to comply with the correct regen procedure...if there was no problem then why the hell would VW assistance agree to get the van recovered every time & every time its in VW carry out a free oil and filter

  .  The light continued to display, various faults were registering but never consistently.  They evenutually took it to a Ford Main Dealer who also could not diagnose the problem.  They replaced the ECU and said if that did not resolve the problem, a new Instrument Panel would be required

  was to indicate that my car had not been in for a service, lol, which is true, as I have done the things myself, that a service would do, and all just for a bit of paper. Anyway, the ECU, I'm told would not know this, and its' to indicate that something is wrong somewhere. Pointing to the O2 Sensor probably
• Skoda Octavia TDi 110 - Water Pump. Intended to help others...... 1 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  goes to show what a difference changing the cambelt can make to the base pump timing, and that's why the fault codes were generated. The traction control cannot work properly if the fuel injection pump is mistimed, and the ECU cannot accurately control the timing if the base setting is outside
• Peugeot 307 (2001 - 2007) - 02 1.6 Cutting Out at Speed 7 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  -programmed on the car yesterday and the very helpful man did another diagnostic check and said that nothing at all came up - it hasn't happened for about 3 weeks (as I haven't been over 80mph) so I'm not sure how long the ECU remembers things for?! This guy reckons I should get the ignition coil and spark
• 00 1.1 - Citroen Saxo battery draining 23 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  the plug was back in but then the drain continued. I unpugged each engine connector in turn to try and locate the other end of the wires on this connector but no difference. I was just about to go for the dreaded ignition switch when I noticed a relay under the ECU. I struggled but eventually managed

They also greased all the hinges/locks, checked tyre pressures, inspected the car underneath and also checked for stored error codes in the ECU (none found), so not bad for the price paid. The Qashqai however is another matter. My local Nissan main dealer, who is situated less than

  start! Vauxhall think there may be a problem with injector or ecu message regarding injector as there were previous fault codes but they have been resolved. Usual vauxhall prices £300+ vat no labour for each option. Anybody got any ideas. Seems intermittent and that would suggest electrics? I have
• Deposit on used car deal 14 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  on completion of the work. We left a bankers draft and drove the car home. We had hardly got a mile from the car lot when the car cut out. Any attempt to give it any throttle would result it cutting out with a bang and the ECU light coming on. (It was ok on the initial testdrive.) It was able to be restarted
• Nearly new car running very badly 12 May 2005 (Forum)
  this, is a pleasure to drive. No fault codes were stored, so the dealer replaced the ignition module and plugs. No difference. Then the ECU, same again. To get to the point, the car has had 18 dealer visits in its 19 month life. Its had the above replaced, along with every engine-based sensor, but still no joy
• Doing it yourself!! 10 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  of the things that most of us would, such as check the air filter, fit new plugs and HT leads and look for faults in the fuel system. It was all to no avail. It was suggested that the ECU was to blame and, as you will know, this item is far too expensive to replace in the vague hope that it could be at fault

  . replaced the MAF no change, replaced the boost solenoid on the back of the engine under the pump ecu, no change. The solenoid valve I fitted to the top of the engine that turned out to be the EGR valve, was in fact the rear boost lower solenoid valve, so that was a bonus. The pipe fitting on the old boost
