  • Audi A8 (1994 - 2003) - 2001 2.8ltr Will Not Start (Sometimes) 3 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    and it's really trying my patience. Had to abandon it today and let it go cold, thereafter started easily. (Engine code APR) Is there an ECU upgrade or fix or maybe something like a dodgy sensor that I should replace. The car is a dream to drive, but if I can't rely upon it, then its going to have to go
  • Audi A4 (1996) 1.8 starting problem 17 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    it didn't play up for them. They suspect something in the ECU, possibly related to a relay in the fuel pump which switches from 'Startup' to 'Running' mode. It's beyond their expertise. Has anyone heard of this relay? Is this a known problem? Problem seems to have started after another garage fixed

    with them this morning and they informed me that they are unable to reset the keypad! They have no idea what to do. The guy told me the last resort is to replace the entire ECU at a cost of £900!!! Surely this must have happened before and there must be a sollution? Please help!!
  • Mondeo Cutting Out 2 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    code reader plugged in but nothing showed up & it behaved itself. With me driving it continued to cut out as on the first day. Garage told me to lock/unlock it to reset the ecu but that doesn't work for me. Shall I trade it in & get a Jap job???! Have just read horror stories in another thread

    and has no known mechanical / electronic problems and no fault codes are stored in the ECU. At it's recent Mot it passed with CO 0.00 %vol and HC 0 ppm at lambda 1.003.

    Having become a owner 0f a 2002 laguna 1.9dc1 estate three months ago I thought all these stories about faults with Renault were exaggerated .I can confirm they are not ,some faults with the ECU warning lights Renault could not cure. I have owned many cars and you expect some problems
  • Tipo fails MoT on emissions 8 Dec 2005 (Forum)
    , on medium runs. Is there something I'm missing here - say ECU failure? Seems unlikely that the timing is/was incorrectly set (by a professional), given that it's otherwise running acceptably.
