  9. Ouch - Broken ECU

    Hi, I have just been told that my car (1.6 sport) needs a new ECU! I think my pocket is going to hurt for a while from this £460 + fitting hit! The problem began with intermitent starting, it would fire up but stall after 2-3 seconds. Also at times it felt like it was lacking performance...
