Hi guys,

i think I may need a new ecu for car problem is its the original ecu from a 1.6 in the car but now has a gti engine in, would I be better to get a new gti ecu so it correct? ive found one on ebay with signal sender etc etc but thot I would ask before buying it thanks for any help

 

You would need an ecu with exactly the same numbers.
Ecu's are expensive, so why do you think the ecu is defective?
What seems to be the problem?

 

Your ECU will work fine it may need a remap due to you having a bigger engine (1.6 original and GTI 1.8) the engine should run though?

hi guys,

the problem is the car is misfiring and putting petrol into exhaust ive threaded the problem already and no1 could seem to help. ive changed plugs, leads, coilpack, crank sensor, lambda sensor and its still at it. Only other option I could see was ecu. the engine does run and was runnin fine up till now so im not sure what wrong with car. As I said I have bought it now but ecu, signal reciever, barrel and key al come as kit I got it for 40 and as being a gti ecu thought it would be better for my engine.

 

Ever had the fault codes read?

 

not yet but i went out to car had a route around gave it a spray with wd40 for any dampness n now it runs fine am startin to wonder wat goin on here haha
