Good morning, I have had a long standing saga with my 2.2 HDi with problem after problem which have just seemed to be unsolveable. Finally found a really good Pug mechanic with the full on Diag 2000 kit who had a look at clearing my ECU down for me. To his surprise I had many many perminent errors (many of which should now be historical and he is surprised the car moves), on trying to clear them down he was getting a communications error every time and could not do anything with it.

He said that he has never seen this before and it could be the ECU that is a fault, on the other hand he has never seen a bosch ECU go wrong like this before so it is more likley to be a wiring problem. The really odd thing is when he checked the mileage my car has done the ECU is reporting a meer 87,000,000 km (I haven't added extra zeros, it is eighty seven million kilometers). Now I'm no expert but I think that would make my car a record breaker as it's over a million a year.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I think this is the ECU rather than wiring, can anyone recommend a good recon ECU supplier?

Many Thanks

Adrian

Maybe you should wait 'til a full moon and at midnight take it out into a field and bury it.

There was a post recently about an ecu testing company on here but I can't find it.

try here http://www.bba-reman.com/ and i believe there is a place near
derby but you would have to google that

It's a 2000 model which means it's done 771mph constant since it left the factory. I'd call that rather impressive! Your fuel bill must be huge! ;)

hmmm, may have solved the mystery (maybe not but hey) have finally dug out my ECU and on the first pin towards the hinged end the plastic bit on the plug end was damaged and folded over the connection so it's possible this pin wasn't connected, have cleaned it up and will take it back in for a clear down. Not sure what this pin does but hopefully it's important! We'll see!

Well spotted, good luck!
