Guest bigal Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Sorry i didnt realise there was more than one. I am not sure. Its linked with the gear box, so im told.My apologies for being so vague. Cheers Alex Quote
NikpV Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 presumably the 'Traction control module'??? Quote
Guest 3.5bullet Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 As it's an auto it could be the auto boxes ECU? :( if it is? have you checked the condition of the multi plug and the loom going to it? these have been kown to cause a few problems? damp and corrosion on the pins or failing wires in the loom! Quote
NikpV Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 failing wires in the loom especially if the box has been off and not supported properly Quote
Guest bigal Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Yes i think it must be the gearbox ECU this is whats caused my gearbox to become faulty. I cant check it myself as the garage has it, although he said the connections etc were corroded and this caused the gearbox to play up, sending wrong info etc to the gearbox. Where about is this located and any idea of cost? How many ECU units are there in these cars, I cant understand why they are put in places where they can be affected by water. Sorry for all the questions i just like knowing what i am dealing with so the garage cant bulls**t me. Cheers Alex Quote
NikpV Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Where about is this located and any idea of cost? on mk2 Automatic transmission module is between the battery and side of the car struggling to find diagram for mk1 atm Quote
Guest bigal Posted September 3, 2006 Report Posted September 3, 2006 Thanks for replies, i suppose i will have to see what the garage comes up with. Cheers Alex Quote
vinniefrench Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 I've got problems with this very thing right now ;) Stuck in 3rd gear, and now need to find a replacement.... 52 plate, 2.3ltr auto petrol... are there specific serial numbers on these ? as I was looking and found some on ebay, but not sure if they'd do the job. I really have no mechanical mind here... but desparet to get this fixed... Quote
