Ok i will try and keep this short ... a while ago i purchased this vito 110cdi .. from my mechanic in good faith .. it has had many issues .. but thankfully he has paid for everything so far! ...
1st problem arose .. when i broke down ... failed injector x 1 ... then had van back for a while .. then another ecu light came on .. injector 2 replaced ... then it came on again .. a week later or so ... glow plug relay replaced .. then sometime later a valve! ... then a week later it limited to 2500 revs .. ecu light on ... this time proved very tricky & in the end it was decided ecu was at fault! .... ok .. a few weeks later ... after all this ecu light come on again .. revs limited to 2500 .. suspected valve problem ... my mechanic informs me .. the ecu is damaged ... apparently it has taken a power surge! .. ive not tired jump starting anyone ect ... im getting nervous ! ??? he had his electronics guy trying to trace fault all day other day .. apparently all wiring & looms have been checked! ? my mechanic suggests i have .. or he has been very unlucky .... he couldnt tell me if the 1st ecu that went had been damaged by a power surge ? any ideas people! ??? im nervous now! ... the guy that sold me it is a good guy & made the mistake of giving me a mates warranty ! ..soo he has prob spent 1000 pound on this out of his own pocket! ... what sort of issues can you get with wiring ? bad earths ... dodgy connection .. that could cause a power surge ??? im very nervous ! 2 ecu gone 1 after the other more than just bad luck ... granted the 2nd one was a second hand part purchased from ebay .. as my mechanic pointed out .. its coming out of his wallet not mine ! ... so could not possibly buy a new one ect ... please give me your good advice! & experiences :bannana: kind regards
