ECU info

JamesV6CDX · 01 December 2006, 18:16:21

Hi guys

I need to replace the ECU on my project 2.0. I'm sure I've fried it, becaues I'm not getting an EML now. However, someone has taken the sticker off the ECU so I'm not confident about what ECU number I need to get.

I was hoping maybe someone could shed some light - is this info stored anywhere else on the ECU? If not, is there any way I can be sure of what ECU I need to get for this particular car?

It''s an N reg 2.016v

Unfortunately I can't troubleshoot any further until I have a working ECU

Which also means I need immobiliser ignition component and key transponders to accompany, balls.....

Cheers
James

And ideally, the immobiliser PIN which is part of carpass from doner...

sure you haven't just blown the bulb?

JamesV6CDX · 01 December 2006, 18:32:16

Pretty sure Jamie, because it won't even try and fire on pots 2 and 3 now....

JamesV6CDX · 01 December 2006, 18:33:09

If I have got the carpasses from the donor, is there any way, that I could just get another key made with them, or is it not that simple?

If you have the immobiliser PIN for the fitted immobiliser, its possible to program transponders to it.

that makes perfect sense Jamie - does anything need to be programmed to the ECU also?

If the engine ecu and the immobiliser ecu come from same car, then no...

If the ECU works at all, you should be able to get the part # with Tech2.

I don't think JamesV6CDX has a tech2....

Could he send it to you or someone else?

Sod it, I'm getting fed up to the back teeth of this car now.

I'm going to get another ECU, transponder and immobiliser unit. I'm going to fit the loom off the donor car to rule out any wiring issues.

And if it doesn't go then - it's going to be scrapped.

By which time, it'll have cost you about a zillion quid
