Following on from my previous thread http://cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=98688 about dodgy electrics (drivers window, wipers, SERV light) I've been told that I need a new ECU, but I'll have to take it back later in the week as they need both keys so they can recode them :dapprove:
I understand the ECU is something to do with the engine management computer?? and was just wondering if anyone could tell me a bit more about what it is / does as I really have no idea - if it is just a "computer" what kind of thing breaks in them?
Also, would you expect this to need replacing on a 52 plate 172? and is there anything I should watch out for / ask about when they do this?
I'm assuming that they are going to do this under warranty (which runs out at the end of the month coincidentally
) - thought they've not actually said this for definite.
