****...
Kitten has a y reg punto that the ECU and coils have just failed on,
not just any punto the rarest auto version with a non pattern available ecu.
Furthermore the ecu is linked to the ignition barrel and connections board for the car.
New ECU - £ 350
lockset £300
Other bits £250
New coils £178
So of to ebay...
Coils £68 - Happy with that all looks good
ECU with ignition barrel and circuit board - £170... ouch but still better.
it all arrives today and it turns out after speaking with fiat that the engine model changed that year from CF2 to a CF3 and we have a CF2 and the ECU and gubbins iv just bought are for the CF3 and are more than likley incompatable, albiet they look the same... GRRRRRRRR!!! and in december too!
however as the car is currently nackered just sat there, ill change the bits any way and see what happens? failing that ills tick the new ignition coil on it which should get it working again for a bit then ill PX it.
just another crappy part to what has been a terrible year... mostly.... grrrrr **** feck....
