New ECU fitted
Today I had to get a new ECU for my V6. 3 years ago before I bought the car it sat in a garage for 9 months not being used and the old owner kept on jump starting it which damaged the ECU. So had to shell out £950 for one which had to be imported from France. Just a warning, dont jumpstart! My V6 is just costing more and more these days[emoji29]

Re: New ECU fitted
The two most common causes of ECU burn-outs during jump-starting, that I know of, are; one, not allowing the battery voltages to synchronize before starting, and two, instantly revving the car after it has started causing spikes. if the batteries are connected, then left for five to ten minutes before starting, all should be OK. Start only with a 'dead' throttle, and to not rev until a good five minutes or so has passed.
I have successfully jump-started many ECU-equipped cars over the years, and only time there was ever a problem was when people didn't lsiten, and revved their car the instant it started.
FWIW, It is worth making sure before trying a jump, that the battery terminals are fitted correctly, and tight. Loose or bad connections can also cause spiking after starting.
