A week ago I was talking to Dominic who has a car with ECU problems. From what I gather from the discussion we had, it's not an easy problem to solve and I am sure that he will be able to explain the problem to you, and may be able to help with a solution. I might be wrong about this because he knows a lot more than me, but I got the impression that you can't just swap ECUs from another car.
I've alerted him to this thread and hopefully he will share his knowledge with you!
I'll give you a bell but Wyn (eurorover) also would be great for this issue as he has loads of experience of working with ECU's on our cars due to the complex rebuild of 007
interesting.... If the gateway ecu was faulty and stopping the car from starting then the Ford ECU would list a fault code from memory ecu disabled or fuel pump/driver module off line. Also it should show engine disabled on the dash.
The gateway only links the ford ecu to the bmw ews so it can start the car and the ecu for an auto is different. The car need to go on a T4 and see what the codes listed are.
Is there any water in the boot or any of the carpets wet??
Hi there all water leaks were cured over a year ago, but both sunroof drains and rear lamps were leaking.
Took entire interior out and dried it out.
Been dry inside since.
You need to get your questionnaire back to Tim to get full access to the site Alex. Lots of information on here.
