  • Vauxhall corsa 1.7 cdti 2009 ecu - Corsa D 1.7 cdti 2009 ecu 24 Jan 2019 (Forum)
    The 1.7 cdti was not sold by open in Ireland it's a UK spec and registered car. The car has been with the dealer a week now and they suspect either the ecu or the wiring may be at fault. I am thinking this could be a very expensive repair and the car is not worth that much. Does anyone have any experience or advice to offer me on this corsa issue?  Thanks

  • Vauxhall Vectra B facelift (1999 - 2002) - 2002 1.8 Misfire ecu/loom 19 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    I have a 2002 vectra 1.8 ls that has had a misfire since i bought it, it has had a new coil pack, I have spent several hours trying to find out what the problem is and now i'm at my whits end, upon checking the injection system I have found that there is no pulse to number 4 injector, the ecu looks fairly new, i've tried linking a wire from the start of the plug on the loom but still no pulse, could it be the ecu and if so can i just replace the ecu from a breakers or does it need to be re-programed.
  • Mk4 Ford Mondeo Titanium 2009 - Airbag ecu & warning light 24 May 2016 (Forum)
    This raises a couple of questions I need help with to limit my costs: 1. Can the current ecu not be interrogated to determine the root cause, thereby saving me money? I couldn't get this out of the garage 2. Can a replacement ecu be plugged in without fixing the instrument lights to determine the root cause?

  • ECU and engine sensors 16 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    If the ccolant sensor reads 5C low, then the fuelling may be affected because the ECU thinks that the engine is not fully warm - as an example. Can any ECU experts out there enlighten us?

  • Citroen C3 (2002 - 2009) - 03 1.4 Location of ECU 7 Feb 2013 (Forum)
    Hi Everyone, my ECU needs to be replaced, £700 dealer has quoted but I have found that I can buy one for £200 fully coded and ready to plug in and go with un-limited mileage warranty. But I need to know where the ECU is actually situated in my car so that I can take it out and get the part number.

    I have a Pug 406 110 hdi on a T plate, I have been told that i have to have my new ecu recoded to the car, the car run`s ok, but i cannot erase the fault code`s (p0230_p0380) . also another quickie question, would a ecu from a hdi-90 work ok on a hdi-110. as the only difference i could see is the inter-cooler side of it.
  • Vauxhall ECU Reprograming 18 Jul 2003 (Forum)
    On a recent service visit to the main Vauxhall dealer i pointed out that my vehicle (fitted with this engine)on occations felt as if the power dropped off momentarily during hard acceleration. When i picked up the car they told me that the technician had reprogrammed the ECU with the latest version of the software. I am aware of the function of the ECU but wondered if anyone could enlighten me a bit more about what improvements i might expect if any. Thanks in advance.
  • peugeot 307 hdi - indicators 30 Sep 2015 (Forum)
    Left front, side and rear indicators have stopped working. Have been told its the ecu? Are the indicators controlled by the ecu and if so does anyone know if a re wire using a flasher unit is possible as I dont want the cost of changing the ecu etc etc? Thanks in advance

  • Escort mk7 ECU swap 28 Jun 2007 (Forum)
    hi, me and a friend have recently swapped the engine in my 1999t escort from a 1.6 zetec (snapped cambelt, uneconomical repair) to a 1993k 1.8 zetec 105ps (free donor car that ran perfectly) the car runs rough with the original ecu (assumed mapping/lean mixture etc). the problem we've encountered is that due to the 1.6 ford immobiliser we don't seem to be able to start the car using the original 1.8 ecu, so the question is : when buying a second hand 1996 onwards immobiliser-compatible ecu (ebay seems to have some) will it need to come with any ther kit for the immobiliser (compatible transponder key etc) or can it just be plugged straight in and started. i've searched the web but got no straight answers.
  • Toyota MR2 - ECU light 29 May 2017 (Forum)
    Hello. Can someone please advise me what it could potentially mean if the ECU light doesn't come on at all? I am used to the light coming on for a few seconds and then going off when starting the vehicle. However, with no obvious cause, the light doesn't come on at all. The car is a Mk3 MR2.
