my pug is off the road at the moment, at my mates garage.
the ecu has been sent away for repair!!
does anyone have any idea as to how long it will take!!
ive had the car about 2 months and have only has it on the road for 2 weeks  .
thankfully i brought it from my friend so he is doin all of the work for free. but to be honest im starting to regret buying the damm thing.
thanks for reading

The obvious answer is to ask whoever sent it away isnt it?

Unfortunately, you might have purchased a "lemon." Is there any way that you could get back to the seller and offer to surgically remove both of his kidneys if he doesn't offer to help with the cost of repairs?

Hahaha
Luckily he is doing all repairs for free, and is making sure he does it all to a good standard, hence its taking time.
He has even lent me a car, although it has its own problems.....oh well what's another week or 2

Well - result! I'm glad you had the testes to confront him, and good luck with the repair - hopefully you'll end-up with a 206 like mine; darn reliable without any issues in the last 3 years!

How the hell are we likely to know how long its gonna take to repair the ecu.
We dont have a clue whats wrong with it & we dont know whos doing the repair.
Ill take a guess & pluck a figure out the air, 6 years & 4 months.
Try asking the people that have the ecu if you want an answer

MrBSI you are so cranky! i saw you refer to us noobs as "idiots" on my post! what a d**che!... if you really have a problem why dont you not come onto these posts, read and comment on them in the first place. No one needs your opinions when theyre not constructive.. i think she got the message when a previous user put it nicely
"the ecu has been sent away for repair!!, does anyone have any idea as to how long it will take!! "
