• Corsa Combo 2002 1.7 td (isuzu) - Vx combo,dashlights out,no start 10 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  Ive got a poblem with my dash electrics,having no "spanner" light,no EmL  no glowplug light  and nothing in the little mileage window/display.They were working until I remove the ecu atop the engine to gain access underneath.Does anyone know if the ecu needs resetting after unplugging?Link error on both my scan tools so obd may not be getting power,I havent tested there yet.Vehicle is/was non starter,I swapped the EDU for a known working unit which I believe are plug and play, ,having spotted bad joints inside the old unit.re tried the old unit again to see if display lights come back on but no luck,somethings gone amiss since.Checked all the fuses and relays under the bonnet,is there a common fuse for these dashlights all to be out inside the car possibly?

• Vauxhall Corsa C - 2004 Easytronic 1ltr - Flashing F 1 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  Hi, I wonder if someone could help me, my daughters corsa developed the flashing F a few months ago, we managed to keep it working for a while by disconnecting and reconnecting the 2 plugs to the ecu, then that stopped working and we had to gentley tap the gear actuator to get the car to go into Neutral to get the car to start. We then decided it was a problem with the ecu, so we sent it away to be repaired, when it came back it was refitted and the clutch was bled twice, the car now starts but still has the flashing f and will not go into gear at all, so then we decided to buy an opcom obd2 which is comming up with P1700 which clears and P1723 which doesn't......have changed the gear selector motors and still the same problem, starts....no gears and a flashing F....any help would be much appreciated....need to be mobile again!

  I turned the ignition off and started the engine up again and the car seems fine again. The ecu light is still on. Is the garage right about taking time for the light to go out ? And does anyone know what happened with the turbo. I have only had the car 4 weeks and I am losing confidence in driving it

  ALSO THE ANTI POLUTION FAULT has appeared on my newly bought 2002 model and i wouyld love to hear of a remedy for this coz as it sounds to me it sounds like sensor problems followed by ecu reading wrongly...maybe a new lambda sensor and a cat sensor along with the latest relative mapping of the ecu might do it?just an idea?please respond about my fuel leak query,thanks.

First fault is when trying to reset airbag lights (electrician used a snap on verus) it cant communicate with the ecu so wont knock off the lights?

• Volkswagen Golf III (1992 - 1997) - 1995 1.8 AAM Auto engine hesitation when cold 3 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  If I don't drive off from cold and just let the engine idle for a while, the revs will drop down and the engine will almost stall until I push on the accelerator again and then its fine. The car always starts fine and runs well otherwise. There are also no faults recorded on the ECU and the ECU temp sensors (coolant and air) read exactly what the current outside temperatures are. regs Joshs
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2003 1.8 tdci 115 - lumpy running 26 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  I've seen various references on the web to injector recalibrating - is this likely to be needed or would it help to put some injector cleaner through the engine - I'm not sure if this is recommended with these engines ?? Secondly, I've been thinking about having the ECU remapped by a reputable firm to boost the rather naff low speed torque & improve fuel consumption, does anyone know if this can help the above problems - presumably they would look at the ECU and find out if anything untoward is happening anyway??
• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - Bits floating in fuel after system re-build ? 25 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Its had a new lifter pump, high pressure pump, all new filters and injectors cleaned. Peugeot originally said it needed a new ecu, had that sent off and checked at the ecu doctor, very helpful, was running in another car perfectly. They now reckon that there are bits floating round in the fuel system and say its gonna cost another £2500!!!!!!!!
