  • 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?

    Started car up this morning and the temp gauge wasnt registering then all of a sudden it shot up into the red, i took it to the garage and was told it was 1 of 3 faulty senser, a friend of mine did a diagnostic an got error codes P0115 Coolant temp signal and U2139 Can-Bus no comunicationwith engine control module, he says that its a wireing fault with which he says its a faulty ECU, could anyone tell me if the sensors could be the cause or do i need another ECU????,,,  
  • 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.

  • Peugeot 406 (1999 - 2004) - 99 110 ECU re-coding. 16 Sep 2007 (Forum)
    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.

  • 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.
  • Vauxhall Vectra C - [Vectra C] [02-03] How to change/replace Airbag EC 14 Dec 2013 (Forum)
    I managed to find a group of local Airbag ECU engineers, who will probably to this for £60. But, I can try it myself if its just a matter of removing the existing unit and replacing it. Trouble is that I don't know where the airbag ECU is fitted and how to get access to it.
  • Mondeo TDCi ECU updates / warming up 23 Mar 2012 (Forum)
    I had come to the view that it was approx end 2002 to end 2003 models that were worst effected by the ECU issues, and that earlier and later cars were OK. I wonder if I should ask the dealer to reinstall the earlier ECU software? Does anyone else have a similar experience? Regards.
