• Vauxhall Vectra C - Battery Drain 26 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  my multimeter in  series with the battery earth cable, doors locked, waited for the ecu to close down, and got a read of 0.2 on the 10A setting. Am I right in thinking this current draw is too high? I read somewhere to expect 0.05 maximum, otherwise it might be a diode fault in the alternator?

  I have had my 206 ECU remapped to 120bhp by someone. When he remapped it, he said it could've been done to 150bhp, but it would've wrecked the clutch and I would have had repair bills every week. However, after speaking to a Peugeot mechanic today, he said it wouldnt be a problem as he has seen one
• Mercedes Benz C-Class W202 (1993 - 2000) - C class 240 27 May 2009 (Forum)
  I've seen a C240 merc for about £1200. It has done 100k+ miles but looks in good condition. I am concerned about reliability. The review on this site says the ecu can fail after 12 years and can't be fixed - the car is a 99 so 2 more years? Plus, there are also potential rust issues, it doesn't

  I am repairing/rebuilding an engine for a friend which has ingested a metal swirl flap. I was about to check the piston/valve clearances on a dry build when something occurred to me. The crankshaft has a position sensor but I can't see one for the camshaft. How does the ecu know that it should

• Citroen C5 (2001 - 2008) - 03 2.0 Coolant sensor question 28 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  is this, why is this fault showing if the temperature gauge on the dash seemingly works OK, are there different sensors for the gauge and the ECU? The only sensor I'm aware of is the one on the side of the head below the intake butterfly. I'd take it in to be looked at but money's tight at the moment. Thanks
