• Vectra 3.2 V6 2003 - Vectra cuts out and wont start......sometimes 5 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  ????? I am scratching my head as to what this is. What is causing it to cut out and why after an hour does it start again and run? The internet forums seem to come down to a few possibilities such as ‘ECU’ or ‘Crank case sensor’ or ‘Rad Fans

  getting burnt on the enigne start? The car isn't using any large amount of coolant, I haven't had to top it up for over a year. 2. What sort of temp range does the ECU switch the glowplugs on? I've tried changing it to a longer glow period but it doesn't make any difference. THe light comes on and goes
• Skoda Yeti - Skoda Yeti - my thoughts on 10K miles / 1 year 1 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  found random people asking me what it was etc. Over the first year / 10K miles it required no oil or coolant whatsoever. The tyres at 10K miles were 1/3 worn on the front and appeared virtually unworn on the back I had 3 unscheduled visits to the main dealer * ECU
• Citroen Saxo VTR 2000 W Reg - Major electrical issue(s) 18 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  in September 2011 I purchased a Citroen Saxo 1600cc VTR.  Its on a 2000 plate which means its one from the crossover year from the MK1 to the MK2 model.  A recent driveshaft change has identified that the engine is a silvertop engine from an earlier MK1 saxo with a 3 plug ECU but in a MK2 body
• Things we didn't ask for on cars 22 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  that lasts the life of the car, because I don't remember many problems with those on the road or track? 2. The beloved ECU.....can it run windows 7, or Vista, does it have a full colour 18 inch display, or 300 gigabytes of storage and 4gb of onboard ram. Does it have multiprocessing ability, can it play
• Mitsubishi Outlander - Could it be a failed DMF on a SST (Dual Clutch)?? 20 Nov 2020 (Forum)
  company directly, assuming the fault is covered, it should be as "all components, friction materials, bearings, ECU's" of automatic and dual clutch gear boxes are specifically named, as is wear and tear - I'll just pay a 20% excess for parts. But they will charge more per hour if its not under warranty
• Peugeot 205 (1983 - 1997) - 1990 1.9 GTi starting problems 25 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  of relays. It is under / near the steering column on the same bolt that secures the ECU. This is what I have found when I disconnect it. The engine turns over BUT when you release the ignition switch from start position the starter motor actually stops spinning!!! (unlike when the relay is plugged
• Land Rover Defender (1946 - ) - Land Rover or other 4X4 for a smallholding? 27 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  , and get an old Land Rover for agricultural and towing use. A friend's son recommends a LR 90 200TDI, on the grounds that their lack of an ECU makes them simpler to maintain. 3) Sod the road tax, and get a LWB Pajero/Shogun or a Toyota Hilux Surf and get rid of the car 4) Compromise on a soft-roader
• Ford Fiesta - Fiesta EAC FAIL 28 Sep 2015 (Forum)
  for a week later. In the meantime I took to yet another place. They actually found some codes - P2138 & P0641. They did a lot of checking and were convinced it was not the tps but first suggested that I needed a new ECU. I immediately got suspicious and lead them to believe that I wouldn't pay to replace

  this, they explained to me that s******* Ltd's employee who supposedly carried out the ECU remapping, had increased some of the vehicle's values by between 15 to 17% and, had I continued to drive my car in that condition, I would have done irreparable damage to it which would have resulted in thousands of £s
• Subaru Forester - First 2 months and 2,000 miles of ownership 27 Aug 2020 (Forum)
  was really disappointed with the drive. It hesitated when I tried to take off, It seemed to kangaroo after gear changes. It has two ECU modes - I for “intelligent” and S for “sport”. I tried changing between the two, but no difference. I was when looking through the manual I found the suggested gear

• Cyclist curfew 11 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  James...how about an alternative approach; any motor vehicle driving within a town/city centre is automatically slowed to a maximum 20mph. No idea how to do it, some kind of ECU-jamming perhaps.. but imagine the improvement in our environments. Safety, noise, emissions all improved
