  °). Any suggestions on possible fixes or help identifying the problem will be highly appreciated. The only option I'm left with is taking it to official Peugeot garage and having a full investigation into the ECU which is going to cost me a small fortune. Please help!

• Vauxhall/Opel/Holden Astra G / Mk 4 / TS - Cooling system warning light (Coolant temp sensor) 18 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  I've got a 2001 Astra with the X/Z18XE Engine, with the Simtec 71.1 ecu. It's throwing a cooling system warning light, but nothing actually seems to be wrong with the car. I wouldn't care, but I want to sell it. Coolant is pumping, the fans are turning on and off, the A/C works great even

• Volvo V50. 05 plate - Anti skid message brake failure, immobilser activa 30 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  thinks the work to vehicle and problems i am now experiencing are connected or just a co-incidence.I know from reading some websites this kind of problem is often attributed to CEM.

• Ford Mondeo MK III TDCI 130 (6) Saloon - Alternator/ Battery charging problem 23 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  check this out and also suggested further checks on the wiring system. What I would like to know is what the likely cause of the battery light being on is, would fuse 99 have knocked something else out? Is a non-genuine Ford alternator a problem with the ECU and charging? Is wiring the likely problem
• Mk3 vw golf - Can anyone help me with my mk3 vw golf automatic?? 1 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  the gear box what gear it's in. £50 later and a new switch still not working. The only thing we can think of now is the ECU needs replacing. Is there anything we are missing before we fork out for one of those too? We can't find any wiring diagrams for a mk3 auto and the Haynes manual is useless! Can

  I have a W reg 1.8 Ghia which has suddenly started overrevving - to 4,500 rpm. It is intermittent but getting worse and therefore no engine braking...
• Independents vs main dealers, round 48 4 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  manufacturers to follow suit. “We just want a level playing field,” he said." End of article. The independent's comment about 'fallacy' of latest software is interesting. I've often wondered about this, having agreed to an ecu firmware upgrade on a past car, a BMW 120d, with a charge attached. If the software

  the ECU faults read by a friend who does my MOT's and the only faults recorded were; 1, Glow Plug Fault 2, Mass Air Flow Sensor Fault 3, Swirl Chamber Fault The Glow plug fault does not as yet trouble me as the car starts fine even on a cold start and also as they seem to be a bit of a sod to get
• Pug 306 to 307 - Car upgrade, have I made a mistake? 11 Dec 2011 (Forum)
  for the ECU itself or something equally fatal also rotted. So I have now bought a 52 plate 307 2.0 HDI only to see many references to these ALSO having crappy wire used in the loom.

  connections, cleaned out the steering ECU, no improvement. Picked up on a couple of posts on different forums where people had solved the problem by re-soldering some of the joints on a circuit board inside the steering motor, so eventually took the plunge and had a look. Removed motor (marked
• 1999 R reg Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3 LE LPG - Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3 LE LPG help wanted... 10 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  overall diagnosis was that it must be the ECU that is failing because strangely the engine management light was not identifying the problems with the engine. The Chrysler garage want £95 to run the same tests that the RAC man did, and they have already started indicating quotes of over
• Vauxhaull Corsa CDTI - Black smoke 1 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  pressure coming from anywhere so that kind of rules out the head gasket. Could of course be the ECU but when its pluged in to tech 2 it works fine so not sure about that. I know the head gasket was replaced not long ago so could some thing be put back wrong like the gasket be on upside down

  Took my '56 2.2 (150) D4-D Avensis for its 40k service on Saturday. When I dropped the keys off at the service desk they explained that they also had to do an ECU re-program, as recommended by the factory. I'm not delighted with the results..... Symptom 1 - On the five or six occasions I have
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - TDDi 2002 - Fuel Pump problem ? 7 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  this money, it would absolutely 100% cure the problem :-) In addition, they have also gone a bit 'fuzzy' over my questioning around whether they have actually read the ECU on the Fuel Pump itself, which I am told is very important! The other information I want to share with the forum, is that they claim

• Audi high idling and cutting problem. 1 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  they started saying I also need a new ECU. One other thing I noticed is that when the air conditioning is on the car seems to only warm up to 75-80 degrees Celsius ( on the dash gauge). It used to always go to 90 degrees Celsius after a short drive. Another garage said it was the Lambda sensor.... Please

• Leon STDi - Temp Sensor & Economy 1 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  positon on the scale as it should when the engine is at normal temperature. I have a few questions... 1. is the sensor likely to be knackered providing an inaccurate reading back to the ECU. 2.
