  • Advice re V (2000) Punto 23 Aug 2005 (Forum)
    for this ? I reckon the car is worth about £2500....and I've already paid for a new ECU and exhaust in the past 6 months or so. Would I be better to just sell the heap of junk for scrap ???!
  • Audi A4 TDi starts then stops 15 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    the immobiliser ECU flagged a "Transponder low output" fault code, kind of confirming the fault. Replaced the ignition barrel, cut to the car using the VIN so no coding etc was required by Audi (I refuse to pay £84+VAT/hr labour rates...) Now I know how to replace the barrel, it's easy, but it was a bit

    Some while ago I have replaced a cooling fan. I have also performed an ECU reset as procedure mentioned by another BR. This was for the stepper motor problem I had before.

    no difference. The car has since been to the dealer's, who could find no fault with the diagnostics and tried a new ECU - no change. The (Rover) dealer has now given up saying they cannot fix it! The diagnosis is no-fault-found. The emissions are absolutely constant at 10% - as if they are being (mis

  • 940 B200FT cutting out 17 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    Friend has a 1992 volvo 940 B200FT. It keeps cutting out. The OBD 1 diagnostic unit causes the lambda light to come on and reports fault codes 1-4-4 (fault in or to bosch LH2.4 ecu). He has had a mobile tuning firm out and they suggested replacing the fuel pump relay (a common fault on these cars

  • Ford Escort - 95 1.4i Acapulco - Electrical problem... 27 Mar 2010 (Forum)
    interesting from here on. - car wiring diagram terms don't correlate to normal language terms - e.g. wiring diagram refers to "power hold relay" a.k.a. R2 / Fuel Injection, ECU relay. e.g. Electronic DIS module a.k.a. Ingnition module. - Fuse 13 supplies 12V (pullup power) to ECU, ingnition
  • Vauxhall Corsa D 2007 1.3 CDTi - Engine doesn't pick up and runs rough 3 Dec 2014 (Forum)
    , this made no difference. Further searches on the interweb on rough running engines seemed to point to the Mass Air Flow (MAF) unit being at fault, this unit measures the air flow into the engine and sends the relevant signal the the engine's Engine Control Unit (ECU). If the sensor

    after 3-5, I have double checked the timing and that's stop on, if I unplug the ignition coil the engine is happy to continuously turn over.

  • VW Passat 1.9 tdi - VW Passat 2005 water in driver footwell 11 Jul 2017 (Forum)
    Hi. Apologies for my lack of technical talk. I have recently found a great deal of water in the driver footwell. There doesn't appear to be any water under the battery, but there was a great deal of gung on either side of the drain away holes by the ECU and the pollen filter. I

    them its either the ECU or the injector pump.  either way they said I will have to pay for it.  I am a little peeved as the car was running fine before I took it in, and the repair cost is more than the value of the car.  They say that the work they have done has not created the problem

    and the manifold gets red hot after a few minutes. We have taken it to 3 different garages including a Vauxhall dealer, however none of them can tell us the problem, the ECU has been tested and come back fine.  Is it possible the Astra engine was not compatible?
