• Octavia TDI loss of power 11 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  to 60mph etc etc. I have read the lots and lots of threads on TDI loss of power, but the power loss is coincidental with the cambelt problem. Would the car have gone into limp home mode, having sensed a problem? If so, how do i get it out of limp home? Do i need to reboot the ECU (like i would know how

  cable broke. - Rear bumper fell off. - tailgate gas struts failed. - Headgasket failed. - Exhaust system leaked. Finally, clouds of blue smoke was diagnosed as indicating expensive valve wear problems and I got rid of it for £600. Most annoyingly, whenever the battery was disconnected the ECU

  and Nissan HQ, and also on their advice repalced the ICV without success. It may be that the ECU is next, but diagnosis by component replacement is expensive and is anyway approaching the residual value of the car, which I cannot in honesty sell on while the fault remains. Has any kind person some
• Peugeot 406 errant revs. 6 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Have just acquired a P reg. Peugeot 406 2.1 TD. The previous owner had occasional trouble with the engine revs cycling and engine slow to rev down when foot off throttle.

  % of the way up the scale, then drops back down to the stop again when travelling in the aforementioned straight line. At a halt, with the engine idling, the needle oscillates slowly between nothing and about 25%. I don't seem to be losing cooling fluid, and the ECU light is not illuminated. Any wisdom
• Vauxhall corsa S Ecoflex - Car turning just not starting 28 Jun 2020 (Forum)
  warranty but it ran out last week) So went to pick my car up and get the keys to get it moved back home and the guy said it could be the ecu or timing chain.

  who can fabricate up a straight through pipe relativley cheaply. The question which needed answering was will the ECU go into fail mode if there is no DPF in the exhaust pipe, and prevent the car from working properly. My hunch was that it should be OK, because the differential pressure sensor
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 2000 2.0 HDI With Zero acceleration 9 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  tone changed. I put my foot down to accelerate and it had no power then the ecu warning light came on. It starts and revs when stopped perfectly. It is only when the engine is under any load it just won't rev. It is like the throttle is only open a little or it's not getting any fuel. So I took
• End of Life Vehicles - Lost opportunity? 1 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  how much I received for my scrapped Talbot Horizon engine 10 years ago. ECUs etc are another story. My faulty ABS ECU for my Xantia was worth £60 to a reconditioner.

• 2005 Focus Estate - Headlight switch replacement 15 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  a replacement switch on Ebay that had an "AUTO" position, as well as light dip control, which we don't need (I think ours is auto-dipping).  I'm wondering if I just swap out the switch module, will the Auto setting function, or do I need to have the ECU programmed?

I have an F-super 2 diagnostic but it doesn't recognise my ECU, I have tracked the unit and it is a standard Ford unit although seems to be 2002 spec, I have a feeling these late 2004 models were a collection of old bits before they changed engines the following year.Have
• Hyundai I 20 - Hyundai I 20 21 Nov 2013 (Forum)
  Anyone else own one of these? I did have a Getz for three years in the noughties, the long warranty and the masses of equipment for the money swayed me, and this was generally trouble free until the warranty ended and the ECU failed. However, the I 20 carries on the good work of the Getz
