Title: ECU PROB
Post by: danmusic24 on 12 August 2010, 11:31

JUST HAD THE RAC MAN ROUND AND AFTER A LOT OF TESTING HE TOLD ME ECU PROB! HE THINKS WHERE THE OLD CRANK SENSOR WAS IN SUCH A MESS IE NO SHIELD ON WIRES THAT THEY HAVE TOUCHED AND CAUSED A FAULT IN ECU...
HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING FIXED,IS IT GOING TO BE BLOODY LOADS OF MONEY? OR IS THERE A CHEAPER OPTION.....

Thats the AGG engine code? Its not as simple as just changing the ECU's. You will need a ECU, immobiliser box, key chip & the reader ring. Basically what this guy is selling on ebay :-
