Any one know who is best to use to send an ECU off to.. it's just stopped talking to the immobilizer, loss of comms. I am told the ABS Pump has done this.. the Rad fans come on with the key but that's all it will not start.. I have heard of BBS reman but I sent some thing off to them before and they where well, lets leave that there.. any one else

 what happened to simple cars 

 

2007 Octavia 1.9diesel Taxi spec ( eg basic no remote key thing ) 

 

 

What fault codes have been logged?

that's the problem they can't read them.. so I am told the VW man my mate knows in the trade said " nope " it's toast got to send away for repair! 

 

thinking of trying the ECU doctor or the other one on the IOW 

thanks Budd I will look into that.. 

 

so I am seeing a patern here..

 

if there is some other electrical fault then it makes the ECU sick.. so what's my electrical fault :-( it gets darker! gulp! ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

I take it that you have tried a power off reset - disconnected the battery for a couple of hours to completely reboot all modules on the CANBUS.

 

Worth a go.

Hi Budd yes I have.. BTW we are on month 3 of this issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yep it's still at the garage.

 

Anyway we sent the ECU off to a place on the IOW for rebuild or what ever it is they do.. 

 

so I am just waiting for it to come back.. will up date you 

 

basicly all the local peeps with their computers including vag comm just couldn't get in the ECU or if they did it dropped them out ASAP ! 

 

:-( 

I hope the wiring was checked properly before they decided the ECU is at fault

What was the the outcome lhave all lights on dashboard. car will start but cut out speed rev counter temperature cut in and out if I get the car to drive. can not get read off ecu in skoda dealer they tell me they have no idea what wrong
