• Clio Oasis 1.2 '96 - fuel problems 2 Feb 2007 (Forum)

Mechanic now saying it's the ECU, but my brother says if it was the ECU it wouldn't spark so at a total loss. anyone had this problem that can offer some advise?

• Vauxhall Corsa - Vauxhall corsa ECU Problems 30 Jan 2018 (Forum)
  Hi, I have had a vauxhall corsa out on finance now for about 4 months. Since having the car, I have had to get a new tyre, the break pads replaced and now the ECU has gone on the car . The garage who sourced the car from the finance company provided 3 months cover on the car and it is slightly out of this warranty. I have contacted the finance company who provided the car, and they have said that they are only willing to repair the vehicle if they can prove the fault was there at point of sale.
• Rover 25 214 manual 8 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  It is just as if it is going to cut out when the accelerator is depressed and it only gets better when the engine is warm. An independent Rover mechanic has said he thinks the ECU needs reconfiguring or replacing. Does it sound like this is the problem or is there anything simpler to try first. Clearly the ECU is not telling the system to deliver a rich mixture when the engine is cold.
• '84 1.8 petrol Laguna ignition Problem 7 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  That fixed the problem for a month, then I started up one day, ran on idle for 3 minutes then cut out. Again mechanic tested continuty between ECU, coil, sensors etc. Replaced coil/amplifier pack, still no spark. Removed and tested the ECU, ECU was fine. He then gave up in frustration and I am now onto 2nd Auto Electrician. He had performed the same set of tests and is convinced its the coil/amplifier pack again.
• Peugeot 206 hatchback (1998 - 2006) - 04 1.4s - PO300 ECU code - sluggish, loss of power 27 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  The Sale of Goods Act covers me for up to 6 years with any inherent fault. For example, I'd expect a car's coil pack and ECU to last beyond 36 months. Tyres, brake pads, wipers etc I would expect to replace but not these things. Also, if the company refuses to help, can I pay to fix it yet still begin a legal dispute to get that money back?

  The aircon in my Octavia was not working - so had the gas replaced (£40), still not working - garage said the ecu probably needed resetting but could only be done by a Skoda garage.   The Skoda garage insisted on a diagnostic check (£80+) to tell me, what I already knew, that the climate control was not working.

• peugeot 406 td 1.9 diesel - Diesel pump 21 Feb 2011 (Forum)
  Now the car has imobilised and the mechanic has said it is because the pump has to be programmed to the ecu and we had to get the ecu that matches the second hand pump we got - impossible we cant get it! Is this correct? or is there something else we can do? dont really want to scrap the car but it is looking more likely any help much appreciated thanks xx
