• Ford Fiesta Saloon - EAC FAIL solution needed 18 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  . It appears that the culprit might be the Power Modul. The last time i had a fault i was told it was this and that but turned out to be the coil pack. I dont really want to get into that situation again spending money with no cure. I followed a link on here to the ECU doctor. That seemed to me
• FORD Galaxy 1.9 tdi - White smoke everywhere 27 Mar 2010 (Forum)
  there is so much white smoke it's unbelievable. It looks as if the car is about to go up in flames. A week a go I had the engine codes read, P1570 and P1557. engine ECU blocked and Turbo pressure control repectively. I had been having a problem with dramatic power limitation at 60mph and also irractic
• Toyota Avensis (2003 - 2008) - 2001 1.8VVTi Co2 emission fail 16 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  smoke reported by the tester but agrees there is a problem As far as I know car drives fine. Although it has always used oil which is a common problem. Tomorrow they are swapping in an ECU from another car and will reprogramme it to see if that fixes the problem. Failing that they are out of ideas
• Vauxhall Vectra B facelift (1999 - 2002) - 01 1.8 Fault lights driving me crazy! 21 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  for two days in a row. ABS seems to work fine though! Garage said it was the ABS ECU. Had this changed for a tested second-hand one - still just the same. Also checked over/ cleaned the big plug to the ABS ECU. Looks fine, no corrosion or dodgy wires. 2) Engine light (not spanner) Comes on about once
• Renault Megane II (2002 - 2008) - 05 1.9 Intermittent Electrical Fault 3 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  this forum and the internet it seems that renaults are famed for electrical problems. I've seen anything from change a fuse to changing the ECU which appears to be a costly job. I know it is difficult for anyone to give an opinion on this but someone may have an idea should the service centre come back
• Nissan Primera IV p12 (2002 - 2006) - 2002 2.2D Engine Trouble! 8 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  the engine. Brought it to the main dealer and one mechanic took it out and said it was fine, another mechanic took it out and said he thought it was misfiring and then they hooked it up to the computer and said that they couldn't get into it. Service manager said possible ECU, possible huge expense to find
• Citroen Xsara Picasso (2000 - 2010) - 2002 1.8 - Lambda probes 31 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  All (posted in different form on a shop forum) The engine ecu warning light came on a few weeks back, the garage told me it was a fault with the lambda probes - the light reset itself (perhaps when the battery was disconnected for other work) and so nothing was done. The light is now on again
• Toyota Yaris (1999 - 2005) - Diesel Engine Noise at 30k miles 27 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  expect from a diesel. However, there is another oscillating noise which is kind of fade in and out on top of the idling clatter noise. This noise sounds like a mechanical friction or bearing problem. Could it be timing chain/tensioner?? This problem only happens since the dealer changed the ECU to fix
• Congestion/co2 charging 23 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  enjoying a spirited (but safe and legal) drive. Surely my car is producing more co2 than if i was drying at the standard level. So rather than tax the car and introduce pay per mile and all the other nonsense, i suggest charging by the amount of co2. With a bit of tweaking of an ecu (im no expert
• Ford Ka cooling fan/warning light inop 21 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  further to 1kohm and the fan starts. This suggests to me the fan drive/relay/power is all OK but maybe ECU is sick and not reading thermistor correctly? The point of my question is - could the ECU have a calibration curve for thermistor which is now inaccurate? If so, can you clear the calibration? Do
• Ford Mondeo tdci 2005 - ford mondeo tdci 2005 won't start 2 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  apart from the ECU, if so where? I've remove the cables of the battery for about 3 hours to reset the ECU, I'm not sure whether

• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 02 2.0 Engine stalls a few seconds after starting 13 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  for the battery light comes on. It starts again perfectly on the next turn of the key. It appears to simply need an ECU reset as I can actually keep the revs at about 2000 (it doesn't matter how many revs I have - it still stalls!) and as soon as it cuts out, just switching the key to ACC and back to IGN quickly

• Vauxhall Insignia - Date Stamped Error Codes 26 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  Good Morning All,  I am after some advice please.... is there anyway of finding out the dates of cleared historical fault codes within the ecu? I have just been advised my 16 plate Insignia is going to cost around 4k for repairs to be done. But have been advised
• toyota corolla verso 2L DIESEL - engine flooding 31 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  Hello, looking at a 10 plate verso which is a non runner, apparently been diagnosed at Toyota as major fuel leak and seller says been told injectors stuck in open position,  seems odd all doing this and i thought it was more like a signal from ecu causing all. anyone
• Astra j sri 1-4t - abs light 3 May 2019 (Forum)
  that was picked up. Is this normal behaviour just for a abs sensor?? Concerns it may be ecu related. Thanks?
• Vauxhall Zafira - Camshaft trouble 8 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  not the ecu either as that already got sent away and came back clear. What else could be causing the code?!
• Any - Solar Battery Chargers 25 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  of using one on a “future” classic as the alarm, etc. drain the battery when standing. However the lighter circuit is only live when the ignition is turned on (not a sensible option). I was wondering what the best way to wire the charger in was on a more modern car with ECU, etc?  
• Landrover Discovery TD5 ES - Suspension conversion air to shock 23 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  My wifes Discovery has had a pair of shocks fitted to the back end and an advisory for the MOT is to update the front also. I intend to fit a complete set of 4 and wonder if anyone can tell me the best ones to use? 2inch lift available would also be nice, what do Ineed to do to the ECU to update
