Hi all.

I am posting in the hope that someone can point me to somewhere or someone who may have an ECU for my Skoda Felicia. It's a 1995 1300 5 door hatch back and I am having great trouble sourcing a second hand ECU and compatible key chip.

I have had one quote only, despite loads of phone calls and many emails, and that's for 300 plus euro and I have to take the car to the dealership. Obviously I can't get the car there even if I could afford the chip and recovery.

I'm in Co Roscommon Ireland and really don't want to have to scrap my lovely, previously very reliable car. The mechanic has had no luck but he is able to fit the ECU if I can source one. I hope I haven't broken forum rules and apologize if I have.

Right firstly you don't need to get one with a matching chip key, you can re-match the existing immo unit to a new ecu farily easily with vag-com...

Next thing, is it a single point or multi point injection model? They have different ecu on each model.

Watch why it needs a new ecu, if it's blowing the fuse due to an internal short its more than likely the voltage regulator has gone in the alternator and is now charging at around 19v, seen loads do this.

Thanks for the responses. The mechanic tested the fuses when it first died and he is now saying it is definitely the ECU but I will get this double checked.

Yes, I've discovered now it doesn't need a key thanks. I'm not sure which injection model it is but I have two numbers from the ECU which I'm using to try and source one.

Having it reconditioned and re mapped if necessary seems to be the cheapest route from the quotes I'm slowly getting.

I will ring the mechanic tomorrow after your responses though. I'm afraid I'm lost with mechanics and am 'piggy in the middle' here.

Thanks very much.

if its a 1995 then it will be spi, is the airfilter in a round housing on top of the engine? if so then you can use an ecu from the mk2 favorit which has no immob on it, you just have to trim a small bit of plastic from the ecu multi plug to make it fit

I have sourced an ECU at a good price. Luckily I asked for a 1998 Skoda not 1995 as I miss typed on here. Apologies for that and thanks so much for all your help. The mechanic says the ECU circuit board is gone as well as the chip.

At least I've found a good breaker for 1998 spares in the future.
