ecu

I have a Seat Leon Sport TFSI (alledgedly 185PS). Would it be possible to swap the ECU - the whole unit - for an FR one (alledgedly 197PS)? Would it be obvious? Would I need a VAG-COM wotsit to do the swap? What would it cost?

If i wanted to change my ECU can i get a 2nd hand one from a mk2 Ibiza in a scrappy or do i have to buy a new one? Or can i get a re-con from somewhere? If so, where? Also, say i do get another ECU, it's not as simple as just plugging it in is it? I'd have to get it calibrated to work on my...

any idea where it is before I take the whole car apart:lol:

How much scope is there for maping on the std ecu? As in how far can you reliably modilfy your engine before the std ecu isn't 'clever' enough. What are the limits etc. Is everythign variable? Or are most functions fixed? :shrug: Cheers

Had problems with my car wont rev touch the accelerator and it will bring the EPC light.So had a look at work with a snap-on scanner which told me the throttle position sensor G-79.Ordered a new 1 from seat and fitted that, reset the codes no lights press the pedal again and light comes back...

Hello Looking for some advice before i reset the ECU. Do i need the radio code as i dont have it unless there is a way i can get it from the radio unit :) Cheers in advance folks :)

I have just got an old ECU off a friend which had been mapped by APR many years ago and when fitted to his car it had the cruise control / switchable map indicator stalk. However I've just fitted it to my car without the indicator stalk, coded it up and run the car. It starts and runs fine, but...

Hi I had my V5 170 serviced a few months ago but it is now telling me i have 100 miles to service again. Anyone know how to reset this?? Also I have had both lambda sensors replaced and my ECU light still keeps coming on with the code 16523 – øxygen sensor! Any suggestions?? Thanks

can anyone tell me if we can flush the new seat leon ecu and if it does have an immobilizer.

Hi My Mk3 1.6 sport won't start. It starts up for about a second and dies, its happened before and has magically fixed itself. reading some other threads people are saying the ECU could be wet, can anyone tell me how to remove it and if this is advisable. Or if you have any other ideas of why my...

hi gi`s my names dan and im looking to buy a ibiza cupra 1.8 turbo and the bloke said the ecu light is on because there is a non standard dump valve,to a forge recerc valve is this true, its also had a revo remap and a induction kit.is this true or is he trying to rip me off:shrug:

Does anyone know what is reset on the engine when you do the 'reset' procedure - open the bonnet and door, then switch the ignition (but don't start the engine). You hear a high pitched whine for 30 seconds. Reason I ask is that my car has been idling very rough, and yesterday it was hesitant...

Hey, can anyone help me out ive been looking for a new ECU for my mk3 ibiza cupra (2001 Y) for months now and have had no luck. A shop think they can get one for me but they need the part number. Ive checked Vagcat.com and cant find the ecu listed at all, so if someone could post the part number...

Time to try & sort out my wonky 16v - idle is oddly random & fuel economy isn't to clever. Seems fine at full chat. Stealer said diagnostics list a fault with the inlet manifold pressure sensor - which I believe is built into the ECU on the 16v. :censored: Rather than buy a new ECU ££££! I was...
