  , even when it's running well. Just about every sensor has been replaced or substituted, including the ECU. The injectors have been changed, as has the inlet manifold and the engine wiring harness. Sticking valves have been suggested and ruled out. Electronic diagnosis gizmos seem to come up
• The end of rust? 4 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  of rot around the rear arches on old Mondeos or Vectras but that can be prevented by careful removal of crud when washing the car. Makes you think that if you look after the bodywork and service them regularly you can easily see 20+ years in a modern car. Probably an ECU or electrical fault too expensive

  . Called breakdown to start it - firstly, managed to connect their starting battery the wrong way (smoke came out of his leads before he noticed) and then failed to start it mumbling probably the ECU or injector need replacing(?). Well, not trusting his competence, Hubby down to Halfords and a new battery
• Another 306 diesel problem 3 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  engine for about 6 months in the garage unused, is there a chance the valve has seized? What will happen if I fit the pump that was supplied with the engine? will the ecu communicate with it ok or will the solenoid remain closed because the codes dont match? Help please! Jon
• SAAB (mostly) cold starting problem 4 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  also and she doesn't use it much so no high mileages or lots of runs involved. Does anyone have any other suggestions if changing the coil doesn't help? Apparently this one year does not have a feature connector on the ECU so they can't even plug it in and see if any faults have been registered
• Chipping etc 9 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  the 2WD TDi 130's, the comment is that the Quattro ECU is set differently to the 2WD by the factory. However a Rover 75CDT tested at 116bhp, spot on stanadrd spec. Makes me wonder how many cars are infact more powerful than that quoted by the manufacturer. Also, my car has 83k (mainly motorway miles

  finally got home and the car was collected by the garage. After 1 month I was told that the car was ready for me. During the period in the garage the ECU board was changed, the car was subjected to computer diagnostics at a Peugeot garage ( not the garage that I bought the car from) which showed

  to the Engine, therefore the exhaust gas temperature is high enough (500°C) to ignite the soot particles. Due to this soot is burned-off and is converted into a smaller amount of ash. Active ‘regeneration’ is when the ECU intervenes when the soot loading in the DPF is calculated to be 45

  with the car's ECU. - - - - Any of the causes of the fault may put the ECU into a 'safe mode' for the air-fuel mix and lead to poor running or mpg and even possibly other faults if not fixed. Needless to say, the test drive (25 miles, 2x 12.5 mile trips within 2 hrs) did not register

  to replace the whole gearbox!!  At a tune of £2k on a car worth around £3k. Another friend of mine who has experience of cars said that the ECU might need reseting or re-programming and we can arrange that for less than £100.  This all happened over the weekend, so I am

  as it wasnt indicating any faults on the ECU. I took it to the specialist who also reported no errors on the ECU and they replaced the air intake pipes at a cost of £180.00. The next day the car cut out again and got worse when mainly turning right hand bends. I took it to another garage who Tested

  the ignition and the cute little button just above it within ten seconds a time or twelve too.... The battery isn't the recommended battery; I seem to recall it mentioned something about diesels on the wrapper.......... The pulsing noise actually originates from around the ECU. when it died on me half

• Peugeot 108 - Servicing worth paying a main dealer ? 9 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  always serviced items well in advance of the manufacturers spec. I feel the same sort of satisfaction that I get from cleaning the car myself. I have a 108 and a 107 I have no need for a down load or any kind of ecu interrogation. I usually keep my cars for about 10 plus years

  start it, first: radio on engine off, second: dashboard said Engine already on, third: no lights all dead, fourth: yellow ECU energy warning light stayed on, but then it disappeared once I finally got to start it properly. If this is a fault, would the 3 year warranty cover it? I have been using

  the battery to try and reset the ecu. No change. The cars not long been serviced as the oil is still golden. I’m going to try changing the air filter, fuel filter, maf sensor and also the crankshaft sensor. It’s going back to the garage today as they suspect the lambda sensor may need a clean/change. Any
• Incorrect MOT mileage noted 21 Feb 2016 (Forum)

• Ford Mondeo - Ford mondeo 2001 tddi cuts out after 8 seconds 19 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  doing or weather I'm driving or not. 8 seconds and it cuts out seemingly electrically. No warning lights, starts straight away again so no air in the system or fuel problems. The only thing wrong is the lift pump is disconnected. Could this be an Ecu problem. Is it recognising there is no lift pump
