• Future collectible cars? 17 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  1993 have cats and ECUs. So do common rail diesels. 2. Most cars will have ABS brakes (ABS pumps and ECUs, again). 3. Most cars will have quite sophisticated immobilisers. 4. Over the last year or so we've seen the introduction of multiplex wiring. Add to this the prospect of most of out scrap

  Perhaps it's time for all cars to have some kind of "Blackbox" within it's ecu for reading in the event of such carnage?. Could also trigger an alert to beacons regarding serious speeding offences.

• Inertia cut-off switch - rover 100 5 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Does anybody know how I'd reset the fuel cut-off switch after a sudden stop, please? I know where the switch is (under the bonnet, between the battery and the ECU), it seems to have a rubber cover over it. Do I need to prise this cover off or will this damage it? Thanks.
• Pug 306 10 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  In his car by car breakdown HJ say of the above: "1.8 8-valve XU petrol is the worst engine and many were fitted with the wrong ECU chip leading to failed emissions tests. Autobox not recommended." Does anybody know why the autobox meets with his disfavour? Academic interest only, I would never

• Citroen DS4 2.0HDi 165 - elm327/Torque app for DPF data? 2 Sep 2016 (Forum)
  Has anyone used a OBD2 ELM327 coupled with Torque Pro app and managed to access DPF data such as pressure (that one at least) or even saturation %, last regen... Or maybe I cannot see the sensors available to view on the Torque app because citroen ECU management is not allowing it?

• FIAT Punto II (1999 - 2006) - 02 1.2 Warning Lights and Oil Lights stay on? 25 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  When I take the key out of the ignition the engine warning light and oil light come on and do not go away. They are not on when the engine is on. I have checked oil and think it may have something to do with the ECU? Cheers
• Peugeot 307 CC (2003 - 2008) - 06 1.6 turbo boosting 7 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  With a 1.6Hdi 110hp, if the turbo pressure was boosted by altering the actuator push rod. Would the ECU system see the extra boost and increase the fueling, increasing the power. As you could do on the mechanical pumps and turbos of such as the 306 Pugs and ZX Citroens. Curious as the question

• 306 1.6 22 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  I've been offered a Peugeot 306 1.6 XS 98, it's a tidy example and done relatively low-mileage (52000). I know that it only has the 90bhp engine, but I wondered whether anyone knew what the revisions were to make it to a 100bhp and more economical (5mpg) in 2000? If it is just a new ECU, then I
• espace with no power to fuel pump 23 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  My Renault Espace 1990 Petrol injection won't fire. Mechanic has confirmed it runs if power is run directly to the fuel pump, but otherwise pump receives no power. He suggested ECU controls fuel pump so that's been computer checked and is OK. He thinks there is a relay somewhere but cannot locate

• Audi A3 + S3 (2003 - 2008) - 04 2.0 FSI Cruise Control Problem 28 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Column ECU'. Needless to say, when I picked the car up from the Audi garage and drove it home, the cruise control promptly failed. It's been booked back into the Audi garage but this is now the 4th time it's been in (to a garage) and while it's cost me nothing for the 'repairs' so far, it's becoming
• Zafira and faulty petrol 31 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  , there it was! So . . . back to the garage. They have put it on the diagnostics machine and say it is showing no faults apart from 'running lean' - I could have told them that, it is drinking petrol! And they say it is now the ECU and suggest we take it to a main dealer as they don't know what to do. My car
