Would re-mapping it fix it?
#32: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 11:25 am ---- No.
Would need to get this eeprom read in the BSI and the IMMO coding removed
#33: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 11:33 am ---- So sending the ECU in for repair is my only option really.
#34: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 11:35 am ---- Unless you buy a ECU, BSI and get the transponder in the key.
You should get one for £100 or less.
I paid £60 for a GTI one.
#35: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 11:45 am ---- I might try a french scrap yard near me and see if i can get those. Any idea how much an ECU repair is? I have been looking online but I have not found one yet that actually says how much it is. The electrician who has my car said he could send it off but it would cost £70 just to test it.
#36: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 11:47 am ---- Hickleys who are good charge
Petrol ECU = £96.00 inc VAT
Diesel ECU = £108.00 inc VAT
Thats just to test
#37: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 12:05 pm ---- I will ring around some scrap yards then and fit the job lot myself. I am guessing the repair work is not cheap ether so I might as well. I am not going to pay £70-£100 for some to then say they need another £100 or more.
As far as the donor car is concerned, it needs to be plexed and the same engine size? Anything else like the same engine variant (HFX for example)?
#38: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 12:10 pm ---- Yeah needs to be the same electrical system, you need the BSI, ECU and Transponder. Ideally try and get the VIN number too for future reference so you can get the security codes and stuff.

Are you refering to plexed/pre-plexed?
And then its just plug and play?
#40: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 12:41 pm ---- yeah needs to be what your car is.
Yeah it should all just plug and play and fire up if you swap it all
KFW engine has a Sagem S 2000 ECU with 3 plugs
KFX engine has a Bosch Motonic MP7.3 ECU with a single plug
Non plexed KFX has a Magnetti Marell 1 AP ECU with a single plug

My engine is HFX just checked with 3 plugs on the ECU so i need the Sagem one.
#42: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 12:56 pm ---- Thought I read you had a 1.4. They are 1.4 engine codes
HFX = 2000-2009 = Magneti Marelli 4.8P = 3 plugs
#43: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 2:57 pm ---- That explains the confusion. Thanks for your help Lee I will let you know how I get on. Although I have not been getting topic reply emails recently don't know about you.
#44: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 3:00 pm ---- No worries mate. Thought I read in another topic you have a 1.4 8v thats why I gave them codes.
I'm the same, only get topic notifications for some threads and not others.
#45: Re: Help me with my diag readout. Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Tue Jun 28, 2011 3:10 pm ---- I didn't get any for a long time but then I started getting them again. But its stopped again now. I must have 25bhp at best at the moment, but then you get to a hill; I think it has about 1nm of torque. Hopefully that will change soon. I was hoping to get a 1.6 from a guy off here but he has not been online for a while, it might have gone already.
