Hi there all.

Just got back from D M Kieth's in Bradford having been told that I might need a new ECU for my 2006 Skoda Octavia II VRS. Total Cost £1657.01.

Got the usual spiel from them that they have connected the diagnostic unit (£66.95) and found a fault with the ECU but no other information available as to what's wrong. They reset the fault and it didn't return so I might be ok. Sure enough as soon as I turned the ignition on, the EPC fault returned followed shortly by the Control System for exhaust warning light

Before I go and slit my thoroat I'm hoping someone can maybe give me a second opinion.

The car appears to be driving perfectly normal done 36,000 miles

:(

What was the fault code?

Sarah

According to the Ross Tech Wiki that code has nothing to do with the ECU.

If you'd like to PM me with your chassis number I can check this out for you, but simply put, you do not need an ECU.

Yeh. It doesn't sound right to me. I think I'll go back to Skoda and see whats going on.

That is what I thought

Shame on the dealers not knowing that
