#32: Re: No-Go Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 3:13 pm ---- Thanks guys, but it's in the garage now... I think the keys are being reprogrammed... Not really sure cause dad's sorting it ha! But I should get her back tomorrow so I'll let you all know what the problem was (:
#33: Re: No-Go Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:26 am ---- So it turns out that somehow the ECU & BSI got wiped. £1000 for a new set. I want to die. Can't afford a new one, so fixing it is the only choice... & I can't be without a car. Don't post any sarky comments because I have been crying & I don't need it... Ta. I just hopes this helps someone else, or actually I hope no one else has this problem...

#35: Re: No-Go Author: hobnob48, Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:32 am ---- Can you not get the ecu and stuff from one being broken? Obviously would involve changing locks ect but could come in a lot cheaper. And i know how you feel. I spent 2k on repairs for my astra 6 months before i crashed it
#36: Re: No-Go Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:33 am ---- no way!!!
erm im not sure but i think if you can find a same year dturbo in scrappers you can use a ecu and bsi from that, would be cheaper too
#37: Re: No-Go Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:41 am ---- Yeah it would be cheaper, but the codes on the the new ECU has to be within a range of the code on mine, which makes it more difficult. & then I still need someone to fit it & code it all up together. I'd need one with an alarm on it too if I was to go down the 'change every lock and key' root... Also be a hassle with my fuel cap & s**t like that.
Basically just a massive c***. Just had a call from my dad, the total price including fitting & everything is £1103 & it's being done tomorrow...
On a lighter note, shame I can't get a cheeky remap done :L
#38: Re: No-Go Author: hobnob48, Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:56 am ---- At that much canyou not buy another car? Also i would suggest contacting a pug specialist like pug1off you never know you may get it sorted cheaper as they will be able to do the work a lot easier
#39: Re: No-Go Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:57 am ---- f*** that!
Get a BSI ECU and key off ebay and do it yourself, you may aswell right the bloody car off for a 1000 quid bill!
Nuts!
#40: Re: No-Go Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 7:44 am ---- I'm only paying £550 of it, which I've had to borrow off a relative. I have the problem of not being able to take the car anywhere. Well considering I've spent £300 on it recently... Buying another car is not an option for me. It took me 6 months to save up a grand for this one & then someone helped me out with the rest of it. Not to mention the fact that there are NO car like it in my area.
#41: Re: No-Go Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 8:05 am ---- best thing you can do is learn from the experience and not worry about it now
i didnt know you could wipe the bsi and ecu from something as simple as pulling a fuse, so can understand exactly how it happened!
pay the bill, get the car back and just enjoy that its fixed

You're completely right...
I'm starting to wonder myself exactly why they would design it so blowing & fuse/pulling one out can wipe the bsi... Might just be a coincidence I suppose.
Thanks (:
#43: Re: No-Go Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 8:39 am ---- You don't need to pay all that.
Look on ebay for someone breaking a D-Turbo, and buy the ECU, BSI and immobilser transponder, and just swap them over.
You can keep the locks the same.
Get the VIN off them as well, then it will be easier to unlock the immobilser for recoding the new keys.
Infact, how has the ECU been wiped? I can understand the BSI corrupting but not the ECU
#44: Re: No-Go Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 8:42 am ---- I thought it was possible to do something like that... But apparently it's a bit of a hit & miss as to whether you can recode the keys or whatever & if I need new keys I'll need to pay about £200... I think my dad's already sorted it now unfortunately. Thank-you though Lee (:
#45: Re: No-Go Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 8:43 am ---- I don't know how it's been wiped... It's all a bit of mystery... But apparently that's what happened... Even if it was just the BSI I'd still need both anyway wouldn't I?
