Just fixed my sisters car by replacing the ECU, transponder, chip. The engine management light does not come on anymore so they must be working but the car still won't start cos it's been sat around for 6-8 months and the battery's fine but been thinking and think it might need some fresh petrol in?? | |

yeh same as what ive got, just been to see the garage that was supposed to be fixing my car and they said that it was either the ECU or the transponder but more likely to be the ECU. if only the transponder needs swapped does the new key chip need to be put into the old key(the old key that came with the car)?? | |

the ecu on a 12v is on the side of the inlet manifold. | |

Normally the ecu is behind the drivers right hand kick panel (next to accelerator pedal) | |

So many mechanics blame ecu when they can't find the problem. | |

You'll need to replace the ecu along with the key chip and the transponder around the ignition barrel | |

because the engine management light has come on and the engine wont start and we took the car (towed) to a local garage and the garage mechanic said to my sister ''the car needs a new ECU which will be 300 pounds'' so asked my uncle who knows alot about cars but wanted to be sure and he said go get a second hand one and the second hand one that im getting today is gonna cost 25 pounds including a key (chip) so just wondering if anybody with experience on the ECU subject could shed some light?? | |

You can swap if you use matching its. Why do you think ecu has "gone" | |
