• Citroen C Crosser 2.2HDi - Diesel additives? which one and how often 3 May 2015 (Forum)
  Hi, My Citroen spluttered to a halt on the Mortoway last week, lost all power and ECU warning light.  I limped the car along to nearby family member and called Green Flag.  During that journey, the power seemed to recover but the ECU warning stayed on;  Green Flag checked the codes which seemed to indicate a fuel leak, but then went on to check the car very very thoroughly.

• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 2.0 HDi fuel problem? 25 May 2012 (Forum)
  Sometimes it is ok for a few days, other times I can't clear it at all. I have tried taking the battery off to reset the ECU, but no joy. I suspect it is either an ECU problem or something to do with the fuel supply? When it does do it and I switch off the engine appears to run on for a few seconds, could this be a clue?

• Peugeot 106 (1991 - 2002) - 98 1.6 gti starting runing problems please help 12 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  started fine and drove 400yards and just cut out and had 2 push home due to no chance of it starting. when you try starting it fires up then cuts outs almost instantly. runs with accelerator fully down but with max rpm 1500. Things tried; Replaced spark plugs Cleaned throttle body and idle control valve Disconnected the ECU overnight Re-connected ECU, car ran for short distance Idle ticked over - very erratic, then stalled when accelerator pressed. Towed home, have now replaced; Coolant temperature sensor. Engine starts, then cuts out almost instantly.
• Citroen ZX (1992 - 1998) - 1995 1.8 Petrol - Cutting Out On Over-run 30 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  It restarts immediately, or if the car is still moving can be bumped with it?s momentum. Whilst it?s doing this the yellow ecu warning light comes on, but goes out again. Sometimes it also pinks under high load, eg motorway hills, otherwise its a good motor. My instinct says a failing engine management sensor, but which one?
• Please Help!!! Volvo S80 Electrical Prob 29 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I had an electrician look at it and he feels that the dash itself is fine and that the problem is more likely to be some form of software corruption caused by the clocking. But he does not know what controls the dash in the car. Can anyone tell me if it is the ECU or is there some other control module that runs it. I have been told by nearly every garage that volvo are the only people that will be able to help, but from the sounds of it a replacement ECU and their charges for labour, I will spend more than the car cost.
• Clio 1.2 Erratic running 19 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  I wondered about coolant temp sensor, but it seems to idle at about 1200 cold, dropping back to 800 or so when warm as expected, and doesn't seem to be using excessive fuel. Has the feel of an earth fault on the ECU to me, or maybe the ECU is developing a dry joint? Rather vauge set of symptoms I'm afraid, just wondering if anybody's got any thoughts to common weak points. -- RichardW Is it illogical? It must be Citroen....
