When you take your car in for routine maintenance, you seldom ever think to inspect the car windscreen, the wiper and the glasses. The sheer amount of people who neglect to maintain and care for their windscreens is somewhat astounding considering how crucial they are to driving safety and enjoyment. Most of the time, you can easily do a DIY cleaning procedure to maintain the windscreen sparkling and clear.
A customer in Barnsley, Sheffield sent an ECU in for a Vauxhall Zafira 1.9CDTi. The customer complained that the car was running rough and cutting out. After completing an extensive ECU soak test, the customer was advised that the unit was faulty and could be repaired.
After testing we found the coil packed circuit had burnt out on the ECU due to a failed coil pack on the vehicle. We were able to repair the ECU and advised the customer to replace the coil pack on the vehicle prior to fitting the engine ECU.

A customer in Bolton, Manchester sent an ECU in for a BMW 730D. He advised that it was having intermittent starting issues. After the initial test, no faults were discovered however on an extensive soak test the ecu did trigger faults and we were able to locate the issue with the main processor which was unfortunately irreparable. The customer was offered a replacement unit and we were able to transfer the coding from the old unit into the new one therefore no programming was required on the vehicle.

We were sent this ECU for a 2006 Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI from a garage in Leeds, West Yorkshire, regarding issues with intermittent starting and sometimes no connection with the ECU via diagnostic equipment. After completing a full ECU Test, we were able to advise them that the unit was faulty and could be repaired.
On inspecting the ECU, we discovered dry solder joints along the ECU connecter and signs of water ingress. Therefore we re-soldered the connecter, cleaned and re-worked the board before re-testing to confirm that the repairs were successful.

A workshop in Bolton, Manchester sent an ECU in from a 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL350. They extensively diagnosed a P2073 fault code relating to the fan motor malfunctioning and state that the motor runs on maximum speed from the second you turn the ignition on (even on a cold start).
We completed our ECU Testing and confirmed the unit was faulty and repairable. With authorisation from the customer we proceeded to repair the ECU and then re-tested it to confirm the repairs were successful and we were able to clear he P2073 fault code on the bench and have the ECU running without the fault code coming back.

We received this ECU from a garage in Colwyn Bay, Conwy that reported the vehicle came in to them as a non-starter and they were unable to communicate with the ECU via the OBDII diagnostics port. The garage did check the wiring and possible fuse/relay issues and it all pointed back to it being a faulty ECU and so sent it in for testing.
We opened the ECU and found no visible signs of any damage to the PCB or components and although we were successful in powering the unit up on the bench, we were unable to communicate with the unit through the connector pins. We were however able to communicate with the unit going directly on the board and so we proceeded to take a backup read of all data from the ECU before carrying out any repairs.
The customer was informed of the damaged components and was happy for us to continue with the repairs. We remanufactured the unit, changing all faulty components as well as any other components which are also known to commonly fail. The ECU was then re-tested and passed on our testing bench. We were able to get full communication and clear down all the logged fault codes.
The ECU was returned to the customer with all data in-tact making it fully plug & play. This means the garage did not need to do any programming or calibrations when refitting the ECU.

We got sent an ECM from a 2004 Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 from a garage in Cardiff after the vehicle cut out and failed to start. The garage diagnosed an ECU fault and suspects possible water damage.
When opening the ECU we did see signs of water ingress on the ECU and proceeded with our initial ECU Testing. The ECU did fail the test immediately with a “no communication” fault and we found several damaged components. We advised our customer of the faults and proceeded with the repairs.
We replaced the Eeprom which contains the immobiliser information and half a dozen other components which were also faulty. After repairs we retested the ECU to ensure it was fully functioning and it did pass on the test rig with full communication and many fault codes. After clearing the codes, we tested the ECU again and it passed with no faults ready to return to our customer.
We were able to extract the immobiliser information from the Eeprom chip once we removed it from the PCB board and isolated it in our chip programmer. This allowed us to write the vehicles immobiliser information to the replacement Eeprom to ensure no programming would be required when refitting the ECU to the vehicle – making it fully Plug & Play!

A local customer dropped in with an ECU from a Volkswagen Golf MK4 2.8 V6 he was having problems with. The customer had sent the ECU away to be remapped and after receiving it back the vehicle would no longer start and so dropped it in to us for testing.
On initial test we were able to communicate with the ECU and all the drivers and everything seemed to be in tact. We saw there was no physical damage on the board but the unit did fail the immobiliser verification and flagged up a checksum error. We downloaded the map data from the ECU and found the checksum was in fact incorrectly coded but also the remap was very poor.
We notified our customer and recommended we load an original stock file to the ECU and then remap that professionally to fix both the poor remap and the checksum error problems. The customer collected the ECU once ready and advised us that the vehicle did start straight away. He told us the vehicle was much more responsive and his dyno printout showed an increase of 12hp + 15nm of torque.
This 2001 Volkswagen Golf Mk4 2.8 V6 is fitted with a Bosch ME7.1 Engine ECU and we’re able to fully test and repair this unit. We use all new genuine OEM components when rebuilding the ECU to ensure each and every rebuild PCM meets & exceeds OE specifications.
