Cupra ECU water damage

[sandro123]

A little while a go my car threw up about 20 errors, but still runs ok. I took it into Seat and they told me it needed a new ECU, costing me almost £800.

After this i phoned Jim at Star to see what he thought (he owned the car from new, so knows its history), he thought it was water damage, apparently quite a common problem on Ibiza's.

SO, im looking for a new/used ECU ive been looking for one for a few weeks now and have had no luck. Does anyone know where i could possibly get one, or if theres another car with the same ECU that i could use (the golf GTi turbo for example)

Also theres an ECU for a Leon Cupra (180 bhp) on ebay, would this work?

Thanks

I have one mate, that maybe for sale, but i need to get my car running correctly first before i sell on my spare ECU, sorry mate.

type in ibiza cupra breaking into ebay and then email the sellers and ask them if theyve got one. An ecu from an ibiza cupra R (mk3) would work but you would have to stick to an ibiza cupra either 156bhp or 180bhp ecu

One of the first things i'll be sorting soon when i get my car back is to get Forge a drawing for a splash guard. I've made one, just need to check it fits/works.

take it a part and dry it then the is some waterproof stuff you can cover it with and it will be good to go pm cuprabaz and he will tell you exactly what to do mate
