New ECU Required.. £1500.. can anyone advise?

Featured Replies

nice result there then mate. Wonder how many people would have just forked the £1500 out???? This forum can save you a fortune (can also cost you one too) :thumbup:

Yet another non failed ECU & a tuner who knows what hes doing to sort things out.

Excellent result. I trust a polite but informative e-mail will be sent to the dealer & copied to Skoda

Well, just to update everyone on the very happy ending to this topic.

After a visit to Ben at SharkPerformance, it turns out that somehow there was a difference between the engine map on my car, and the standard Skoda engine map. When I say a difference we are talking 1 (byte?) character difference in the whole map. After reflashing the original 140PD map on the ECU again, the car is magically fixed!

How the ECU got changed (corrupted?) is a mystery, as the problem only started happening around 2 months ago, and we had not had any work done on the car.

So it seems that DM Keith were on the right track.. it was the ECU, however the software rather than the hardware. I guess it was too much to expect them to have tried resetting the ECU back to manufacturers settings before asking me to shell out £1500.

So all in all, I'd class this is a right result! Ben saved me a considerable amount of money, and even better I got to spend 2 hours with Angelina Jolie whilst I was waiting!

I'll be adding a review in the tuners section for SharkPerformance as a way of thanks to Ben and also re-become a freedom member to say thanks to the forum for helping :)

Great result.

Which DMKeith were you at?

That is a good result :thumbup:

Well done Ben.
