Vauxhall Astra, Zafira & Vectra CDTI ECU fault.
The common fault we find is that the engine will fail to start either intermittently or completely. You may notice that the engine management light has failed to illuminate while the fault is occurring.
If you try to communicate with the engine system via diagnostics and find that you are unable to get any response from the engine ECU or you are unable to read any fault codes, then this is also a sign that the ECU has failed.
The fault is caused by an internal design flaw with this type of ECU, during our remanufacturing process we eliminate this design flaw so the fault will not reoccur in the future.
We are able to rebuild customers own unit or supply replacement units from stock when available.
