Xsara Hdi

[officer305]

Hi, I am new to the forum. I have a 2002 HDi 110 bhp Xsara estate. Just lately the vehicle has been cutting out. I changed the Fuel pump in the tank and it seemed to go alright for a while today it cut out and on starting again would only rev at 1000 rpm. I touched the cables at the top of the ECU in the engine bay and it went Ok again. This unit has three plugs which plug in. When I got home I took the plugs out and found that two of the pins had broken off due to corrosion and were obviously touching enough to work on occasions. I have removed the ECU and on the back it has Bosch 281 010 962 EDC15C2 along with other numbers. Can any body tell me if any ECU marked EDC15C2 will work as I see some are for sale on E-BAY or does anybody know of a company that can refurbish the connections?

Any help would be appreciated

im not sure you can just replace the ECU with one from another car because the alarm and immobiliser is linked to it perhaps some one else could give better advice as the 2002 hdi is not my field

An ecu of of another vehicle, for example purchsed from a breakers yard, wont fit on your vehicle without replacing the vehicle main computer and also the ignition switch assembly.......the key is coded to the BSI, the BSI is matched to the injection ecu.

 

If your handy with a soldering iron or know someone who is:

 

Remove the ECU remove cover from ecu, trace the pin that is broken and find where it appears inside the ecu......solder a wire to it...drill a small hole in ecu case, poke wire through....seal around hole and wire.

Find wire in plug connector that matches with corroded pin and join the wire to it.....hey presto you have bypassed the faulty connector and its cost you a bit of time.....a bit of wire......in my opinion its worth a go.....and i know it works.
