  • Ford Focus 2.0 TDi GHIA (2007) - Battery Light on Dashboard Fault 8 Aug 2014 (Forum)
    ? I'm concerned as if this is an ECU issue, I could be looking at a very steep bill. Any help would be greatly appreciated Darren 
  • Audi A4 avant B6 130 Tdi 2002 - Audi A4 Oil sensor warning light 10 May 2014 (Forum)
    on thinking it was a ECU fault or bad wiring connection.    Finally got fed up with it and we took the under cover off and read the part number 24380 Febi Bilstein! Googled it and found quite a few problems with them.   Orininal Hella part number 1J0907660
  • Fiat Punto 1.2 8v 2002 plate - Fiat Punto MIL lamp wont go out 14 Feb 2014 (Forum)
    pack connector wasn’t pushed fully home. When the engine is warm I can get the light to go out and stay out if I start the car without throttle. If it’s cold or you touch the accelerator starting the lamp comes on and stays on. Forums seem to suggest anything from ECU to battery, to leads
  • Vauxhall Astravan 2003, 1.7 dti envoy - Struggling to start 8 Aug 2013 (Forum)
    worse!) 2> fuel pump ecu 3> fuel pump Ive just shelled out a few hundred quid for the injectors. The battery is sound, the starter motor seems to be sound, Ive recently serviced the car changing oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter etc. Any ideas what else
  • Ford Focus Estate 1.8 Petrol - Coolant temperature 7 Jun 2013 (Forum)
    I drove the wife's car today for the first time in many months and noticed a characteristic smell upon stopping that suggesting it was running hot. There are no other indications so far of a problem but it is overdue for a service. According to the ECU the coolant temperature
  • Ford focus tdci 06 plate - Starting problems power loss and intermittent 4 Mar 2013 (Forum)
    further investigation it has previously had a new instrument cluster and a ecu ? Someone has obviously been chasing the fault and I have bought someone else's problems. Please has someone got any ideas !!!!!!!!!!!
  • Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI 2008 - Hesitation unser load 16 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    that the ECU is reporting. What do you guys think the best path is, as I would rather not have to replace the fuel pump Car has done 65,000 miles, services well within recommended time... Any ideas Thanks
  • Fiat Panda Multijet 2006 - Suitable fault code reader 3 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    that the cheaper a OBD reader is, the less it can do, but can I get something that will identify why an engine fault light has come on so I can at least have an idea of which sensor is sending the ecu an unexpected reading? I don't like the idea of having to take it to a garage every time anything whatsoever goes
  • Peugeot 307 (90) Hdi - Peugeot 307Hdi (90) - Noises and a few faults.. 11 Oct 2012 (Forum)

  • 1995 toyota celica convertible 2.0GT Auto - Celica Charge and Catalyst lights suddenly on 12 Jul 2012 (Forum)
    . There is the charge (battery symbol) and also "toaster" style symbol (catalyst ??) both on at once. Tried disconnecting/reconnecting the battery to clear ECU but they remain. Tried disconnecting battery with engine running and it dies - does this mean the alternator is dead ? Why would that cause the catalyst light
  • Citroen Saxo 1.1 starting problems 30 Apr 2012 (Forum)
    lit. Does the latter mean that fault codes have not been recorded by the ECU? 2. We have got a Haynes manual and can see that several sensors and actuators are involved in starting the engine. Anything got any suggestions about this particular fault.
  • BMW E46 320D - Ignition/Starting Issue 6 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    not inclined to spend £170 or so on a pump just yet as people who have gone this route seem to continue to have problems and I get the feeling its more of an electrical issue i.e. signal to/from ecu or instrument pack etc. Has anyone found the root cause of this issue? Thanks
  • Peugeot 306 - 306 rotates but wont start 7 Aug 2011 (Forum)
    called the RAC out and they couldnt find the problem but suggested i change the relay behind the ECU, which i did but the problem still persisted, i took it to the garage to be plugged into the machine and they said there were no faults and it was probably because it had been stood and needed to be run
  • VW Golf Mk4 1.6 petrol - Engine stops when fuel tank 1/4 full &runs rough 17 Jul 2011 (Forum)
    ), I have had the fuel filter changed, I have had the earths checked, I have had the breather from the fuel tank checked, I have had the MAF sensor replaced, I have had the ECU removed and tested twice with no faults showing. I don't want to spend any more money without it solving the problem. Can any
  • Astra 1997 GSi 16v 2.0 - Loss of power, and sudden jerking 24 Jun 2011 (Forum)
    any hesitation and it sounds perfect. To exclude the EGR, I blocked it off, and it is exactly the same symptoms, and no engine light, or error codes from the ECU. Thanks, Ryan.  
  • Toyota RAV-4 (1994 - 2000) - 1996 2.0 Immobiliser problem 22 Apr 2011 (Forum)
    ) My options are ( if i can somehow get car towed or transported over there) 1: Have "zapper" unit re-programmed, if still dead, 2: Have ECU in car re-programmed. 3: If above fails, have all wiring associated with immobiliser removed, but noted that they do not have wiring diagrams, so would have
  • Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 2003 1.6 Live Data Expert? - Idle Problem 3 Feb 2011 (Forum)
    updated my ECU software?? Cleaned the idle control valve The problem is this when I stop at lights/junctions the engine vibrates, sometimes the whole car. It gets worse at night when lights are on etc and you can tell due to, flickering lights inside and out, when you have the rear heated window on, even
  • Vauxhall Zafira A (1999 - 2005) - 2000 1.8 16V - Fault code 0170. 3 Feb 2011 (Forum)
    drive by wire jobbie, Z18XE engine code I think, Simtec 71? ECU, certainly it needs a proper ODB code reader rather than my trusty paper clip :-((
  • Hyundai Getz - Any Engine management experts out there? 15 Dec 2010 (Forum)
    air 22C. It would appear the temp sensors are ok but the lambda reads low when cold. Apparently the ECU's run open loop when cold so in theory the lambda sensor is ignored. Anyone got any ideas please?  
  • Toyota Previa 2.4i 16v 2001 - Toyota Previa No Spark from Coil 2 Aug 2010 (Forum)
    a workshop manual 2) what is the next step up the electrical line on this model 3) Could I have nudged an emergency/accident cut off/immobiliser if there is one fitted (& where would the reset be?) and 4) Does this car have a CDI/ECU and where would be the best place to get one?  Many many
