Title: 2.0GTi 55 plate ECU draining battery
Post by: Monkeys on 15 July 2012, 19:53

After a non start, AA diagnosed ECU draining battery. Temp fix involves removing fuse 23 at end of journey to prevent overnight drain.
Anyone familiar with this problem. Given location of ECU (under windscreen scuttle i think), wondering whether some water ingress. Also wondering whether connection
to ECU is problematic, rather than ECU itself as no other faults. Thanks for any help.

Do you have an upgraded head unit?
