Hi everyone, I've got a 1.4 petrol with a little unusual problem. I don't want to give up yet because I was planning on doing a camper conversion.
Most of the time the car starts ok but every so often it will only turn over and not start. When in this no starting state the electric's go wild. I can force this 'wild state' whilst driving by turning the heaters on or trying to pull back the electric roof. This 'wild state', basically I loose everything on the dash including the clocks, the windscreen wipers go mad but the engineer still runs and I can continue to drive. The lights don't get effected.
I've popped it into a garage just to see if it was something simple and they have said they would need further inspect from a trained mobile technician (haven't change for the initial look) and its potentially 1 of 2 electronic control modulas. They have said it not worth spending anything further on it because if I do change the 2 moduals they will need reprogramming.
Can anyone help? Has anyone had this type of problem? Does anyone have wiring diagrams to help identify these potential moduals? Would second hand ones need reprogramming?
Thanks in advance!!
