jflet1 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 Hello, My Galaxy has been misbehaving recently - some random flashing of fault lights, and the car has gone into limp-home-mode twice now. Took it to garage, who reckon the ECU has gone faulty. I want to remove the ECU myself and send it off to an ECU specialist who can test & repair/replace. Where is the unit located, and is there a documented procedure anywhere to remove it ? The car is a Ford Galaxy 1.9TDI X reg. I've checked the FAQ and the forum and cant find any previous posts that answer this. Thanks in advance, Julian Quote
Jayton Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) 99% sure it's the silver box located on the right hand-side at the back of the engine bay (as you look in the engine bay). Edited February 28, 2010 by Jayton Quote

Thanks in advance, Julian Hi, Have you had the car hooked up to diagnostics to see how many faults its throwing up? I would grab a vag com lead from the internet and test myself before sending away as it can get costly to replace the ECU. Maybe a sensor is loose and its just throwing the engine management light on now and again, with the lead you can pinpoint what might be going on. Have a look on fleabay and you will pick one up for about a tenner, I would favour that than over a Quote
