ECU
« on: 19 December 2010, 12:25 »
1.8 20v non turbo

is it right, that when lifting the bonnet, i can see the ecu through the grille on the scuttle panel (as its located in the centre under the windscreen)

thanks

also, to add, anybody noticed how wimpish the rear washer jet is, the jet only partly sprays up a 3rd way up the window, which is pointless as i want it to clean all the window thanks!  :rolleyes:

Yep, take the bolt cover off and give that nozzle a prod around with a drawing pin  :wink:

Also perhaps check the washer fluid isn't leaking inside the boot or headlining...  :sick:

hmmm, as you mention it, my boot panel is off at the moment due to the locking mechanism playing up, i did noticed a blue stain on the under side

is there meant to be a cover for the ecu? if not, ill make one, if so, bonus! but wheres mine?  :sad:

this is what my electrical problems were, a wet ecu, water had got into it, all sorted now though, but i dont want a repeat performance thanks!

Hi
I need a favour. Before you put back the boot panel, please take a general picture of whats in that area and put it up here. Cheers.
