Hi having problems with my ecu, fitted a new engine and started 4 times great then stopped had no spark or injectors so i assumed the ecu had locked,
so bought a unlocked ecu and great started first time did the same again but after 6 starts so im suspecting the loom is shorting the ecu? can anyone help me?
cheers aled
with the ecu that youve just fitted, take the battery off, leave it 20-30 minutes and put it back on then see if it will start. let me know the answer
already tired still the same
ive changed the crank sensor and cleaned the earths and changed the fuel relay :/
hmmm ok. was it running slightly rough or missing before it packed in?
nope was running great, this is why i stick to my good old XUD's!! haha

tbh normally the gti ecu is very reliable. Does sound like something is damaging the ecu. Id check round the bay for any obvious trapped or damaged wires.
yeah there is a crack on the hard plastic by the ECU plug, is it the same loom as an XSI? got plenty of them
nope unfortunately not. needs a gti loom unfortunately.
I have a loom and ecu set and plenty of other parts if you need anything let me know
damm, ive got 10 306's for breaking and nothing gti6 left.

Yeah ok, how do you want you money paypal?
Yes mate paypal is fine get 10 posts and drop me a pm and we will sort it out
The ECU will lock if you have the security in place still, the amount of times varies

cheers! im really puzzled ive looked at the loom and i cant find anything wrong, the security was still pluged in with the unlocked ecu,
If the security was still in place most likely locked the ecu out
ok ill try another ecu hope it dosent blow another!
would you sell just the ecu? ive gone through my loom and it looks fine
Yes mate that's what the price was for before the ecu and all bits so it will work in your car black box exc
Its all matching so should be plug and play
ok cheers ill get posting haha
might sound thick? but why are you suposed to change the steering rack to fit a gti6? mines fitted fine and ive fitted gti6 racks to dturbos?
The gti6 doesn't have as good a turning circle due to the 6speed box. If you don't fit a 6 speed box you will be ok but if you do and don't use the rack you may get rubbing
On full lock
Can't beat a good bit of rubbing
oh right i knew that i thought there was some other reason haha, they rub anyway? haha
could do with a rack for my 205 with weller 10j's on it that rubs real bad! ive had to weld a ware plate on the end of the box
That's why then, the Security must be unplugged as the different ECU confuses it and it will lock again, if you have the old car you can still unlock the old ECU But I doubt it's around anymore, Or get the security box with the ECU and off you go
cheers i just didnt think, should be getting one soon
Payment received mate will get it in the post for you
spot on how much was postage in the end?
Hi, I need an ECU for XU7JP 1.8 xt, 8v, Magneti Marelli IAW 8p.1a. Better still if the whole kit is for sale.
Thanks!
Hit it with a hammer

I might!
Is it true that a IAW 8p 1a can be replaced by a IAW 8p 10, provided that the decoding is done and the memory chip is ported over from the nonresponsive ECU?
Thanks!
