• Skoda Octavia Estate - In a quandary but a nice one 14 Apr 2019 (Forum)
  as well. But now its getting on a bit, only 80k miles tho and we have now sold the caravan, ( but still tow wood occasionally).   The quandry you ask. The value of the C5 is maybe 1500 trade in, so if it blows, no big  deal we "only" lose 1.5k. It does have a fault in its ecu
• Any - The death of recycled parts? 24 Oct 2017 (Forum)
  to the cars main computer. Fair enough but he claims that new replacement parts have a one time code to couple up . If the car is scrapped and the parts removed the unit has a one time access to couple with the car's ECU and hence will fail to work a second time Another example he claims is the Main Dealers
• Renault Clio S 1.4l 8v - Wreg Clio turns over but won't start. 5 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  changed the crank sensor but no change. I even tried a different ecu/bcu/key kit and it was no different. Annoyingly the wiring on it doesn't match anything in the Haynes manual so before I begin the tiresome task of checking ALL the engine wiring can anybody help with this problem? Any ideas of things
• Jaguar X-Type 2.0d - Positive Story 22 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  We're all used to horror stories and reading HJ too much with accounts of failed DPFs, ECUs, etc. and huge repair bills is enough to give you nightmares and visions of imminent bankruptcy.  So here's a positive story - I think so, anyway. Took the car (2004, 157k) in for service
• Skoda Roomster - VW Recall list 20 Oct 2015 (Forum)
    the blue additive was probably switched off vw models but Roomster does not have this but scr? I would like to know how VW ecu when running cheat mode can get all the NOX past the scr/ dpf, does it also switch off the EGR valve. When running in non cheat mode after recall i.e. after being
• Vectra 2.0 DTI 16V Low Power 18 Mar 2014 (Forum)
  think the fuel pump is not delivering full fuel, is there any way to test these fly by wire pumps without selling my house and using a vauxhall dealer as it seems with these engines they have no idea what is wrong when the ecu light is not on.If anyone can shed some light on the problem please let me
• 2003 Ford Focus auto 1.6 - Disconnecting the battery 27 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  disconnect the battery the ECU will lose the information stored in it's memory (KAM), this includes idling and operating values  and any fault codes detected, it goes on.......... Also the Ford keycode audio unit will not function again on reconnection until the security code is entered (I bought

• Vauxhall Astra G Petrol 2002 1.4 LS 16V Z14XE - Misfire Cylinder 3 16 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  Hi. I have an 02 plate Astra 1.4 16V engine type Z14XE, which has misfired on Cylinder 3. This isn't the first time this has happened (about the 6th or 7th) I've had the plugs changed twice, new coil pack, new ecu, new egr, and a software update but the problem still seems
• Peugeot 206 - Intermittent starting problem 12 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  . The same problem occurred again, and the garage cannot seem to replicate the problem, telling us that "the car starts every time". We know that it does from cold, but not when warm. The second suggestion was that we have the ECU replaced, an option that we does not appeal owing to it's cost and the fact
• Ford Mondeo - DPF and oil warning 2.0 tdci 24 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  shed any light on this, as at the moment I am not sure whether to wait to get it serviced in a couple of months time, or whether it needs an immediate oil and filter change and an ecu update.
• Vauxhall Corsa D 1.3 CDTI 90PS 2007 - Erratic revving 4 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  but have ruled that one out.  Checked the oil levels this is ok, as I have heard that over filling can cause the problem with an over revving engine.    Problem occurs when air con is both on and off. Could it be a sticking throttle response or something else, there are no ECU

• Ford Mondeo mk3 2ltr zeetec 51 pate - Speedo drops to zero and starts to missfire 13 Feb 2011 (Forum)
   Hi anyone had a similar experience, it would appear to get worse when the electrical load on the car is increased. Have cleaned all the earth points and had the ecu cleared and rebooted with the latest software updates but still the problem exists. This firstly started when i changed
• Mazda 3 ts2 2.0d 2008 - Sump oil rising fast 14 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  to the ECU for the DPF warning setting. Mazda refused the warranty claim saying this is a serviceable issue. I  note from the injector readings that one injector is way different to the other 3.  I note that the sump oil has risen by over 10mm in the last 900 miles
• Hyundai i20 - Hyundai i 20 10 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  the warranty went, a month later the ECU decided to die, leaving me stranded and with a £ 600 bill. This had obviously narked me big time, and I vowed never to buy Hyundai again, but the way the i20 is reviewed is making me think again. After all, I could buy a 2 year old example quite cheaply, get rid
• Ford Focus - Cooling fan problems 30 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  although they have replaced the cooling fan, cooling fan module, temperature sensor and cooling fan relay. Unfortunately it still happens. They say it's a fault however can't find it. Its due to go back in for a new ECU. I have asked for a replacement vehicle as I feel this fault has gone on long enough
• VW Polo 03 1.2s - Engine warning light on for trivial problem 27 May 2010 (Forum)
  me over £27 in the end. How can it be right that the ECU retains the warning for a blown bulb permanently and doesn't clear it when I replace the bulb? Obviously I had to get the fault cleared as there's just the one warning light on this car, for everything from trivia to impending disaster
