  the ecu, we got a second hand one but made no difference. someone from the garage said a new ecu is no good unless you have immobiliser box and key fob to match.

  and that with these problems they have encountered before the throttle body has had to be replaced. Can anyone tell me if this expensive and if the information Peugeot have given me is correct?

  on. The car has been back to the dealer and an ECU has been replaced, but the problem still persist. No fault code was recorded by the ECU.

  into the throat of a carburettor body (devoid of bowl, float & jets) in response to a bewidering array of sensors whose data are processed by an ECU on the inner offside wing.
