Question about EML

[Taxi_Driver]

Nope its the first time they've decided to change the ECU

Its was kinda sweet when they phoned to tell me it needed a new ECU.

Went like this....

'Hello this is **** from ****, unfortunately is bad news sir.'

Whats wrong?

'We have read the error codes, and they dont make sense, so unfortunately it needs a new ECU at a cost of £660 + vat'

OK fine.....its under network Q warranty

'Oh we didnt realise that.....ok fine we'll ring Network Q then'

I take it Network Q are covering the costs now or is it still to be confirmed.

And it prolly wont fix mine either until they do change the cam sensor  :-/
But at least they're changing summat.....and not reset the codes and say NFF like other vx dealer

I assume so....as the only phonecall I got a short while later was to say they couldnt do the job until the morning  
Something to do with they have had 15 recoveries bought in during the past week   and they are behind.
I read it as.......its an warranty claim now.....so you go to the back of the queue  :-/

[nixoro]

As you say put to the back of the queue can believe that, still hopefully they will get it sorted for you.

[Taxi_Driver]

I expect TheBoy will know this....but anyone else please shout up.

When changing the ECU do they need the carpass?? or can they do 'clever' things with a TECH2 and its not needed?

Coz they havent got it.....its sitting about 10 feet away from me in the service book wallet.

Cheers

[Auto Addict]

They didn't ask me for mine, suspect they have the info on computer.

[TheBoy]

The ECU and ATWS are tied together, but if ecu being changed, the ECU can learn the immbiliser with a Tech1/2. If immobilser being changed, I believe that comes with no pin set, and this is set when installed...

[Taxi_Driver]

Thanyou muchly......no car pass needed.

[Kev]

Hope everything works out for you.

[summat]

Yep...correct...they're changing the ECU  

Hmmm, would you like a pinch of salt with that, sir?

[Taxi_Driver]

Thanyou muchly......no car pass needed.

Hmmm.....i spoke too soon.....just had vx dealer on the phone....wanting the imobiliser code and the key code  :-?

[TheBoy]

If they are changing engine ecu, I'm surprised. Not something I've done, but TIS implies otherwise...

Thats what i thought they were doing, maybe i got it wrong and they are keeping the ecu and changing the rest of the Omega  
Coz that was early this morning......and still no car back
