Title: ECU light on - MV6 2.6 auto
Post by: jasiepoohs on 10 January 2008, 17:23:28

Hello
The ECU light has been lit for ages - car runs fine. My local garage has a very old looking diagnostic system on a very old Dell laptop and it finds nothing wrong.
Anybody got any suggestions other than paying the local Vauxhall main dealer an inordinate amount of moolah for them to tell me i need a total engine transplant or at least a new ECU. :-[

I take it that your car is a face-lift one...... I suggest you talk to The Boy or MarkDTM and see if you a near anyone of them ;)

It's a Y reg - so I guess it's a facelift?

I live in Swindon

Y reg, that doesn't sound right!

PM me the reg, I'll check if it is a 2.6...

Thanks for all the help so far, chaps.
The Boy    Yes it has a CCR2006 stereo, what do they normally have? I have had an offer from Taxi Driver on his "cheapo" (his words not mine) tech2 equivalent. As he's local, I will ask for his assistance first.

Taxi Driver   I'll take you up on your offer. i'll send you a private email.

Cheers all
