ECU Type: Siemens Simtec 70 & 71
ECU location: Bolted to the side of the engine block
Price: £250
Delivery: Next working day
Rebuild time: 2 - 3 days

This ECU is a very common failure for all 1.8 Vauxhalls with this system type, the problem is caused by the location of the ECU - because it is bolted to the side of the engine block it cannot disipate any of its heat naturally combined with engine vibration and wild temperature differentials these ECU are failing in very large numbers. The fault usually displays itself as the warning light on the dash board with fault codes that blame the Aif Mas Meter, Air temperatire sensor and misfire on one cylinder but this is always caused by a faulty ECU.

The more you work with faults on cars the least knowledgeable you appear when a customer phones up with a problem on his car and asks what is the matter with it. He has probably had opinions on it from people like his next door neighbour, milkman, and invariably a local DIY person or local garage and possibly his dog, all of whom have told him most emphatically exactly what the cause is. But they all give diferent opinions. So when the customer phones me up and asks for my expert opinion on what I think and gets the reply "I don't know", he really isn't super impressed. However after I explain we don't know because any one fault could be caused by maybe 20 different reasons so if you ask 20 people you could get as many different replies we generally get the job. Intermittent non starting faults from a cold start are perhaps the worse to both diagnose and cure since once that you have cured the obvious reasons there may still be another lurking in the background that will re-appear later because this fault is an intermittent fault superimposed over the obvious one. The car in question was a Cavalier Injection with a history of bad intermittent cold starting and was towed in because it had finally refused to start. Normally we like them like this since as soon as the cause of the problem is solved the car starts. In this case we cured the obvious fault due to lack of enough sparks reaching the spark plugs, whereupon the car instantly fired straight up. A tune to sort out the rest of the engine and out the car went. We were surprised therefore when the owner still reported poor intermittent cold starting and so we had the car back left overnight to check it again. We installed monitoring equipment on the engine before attempting to start it the next morning, and found the fault to be due to a fuel injection relay that worked fine when once the engine had started, but was a a bit reluctant to kick in sometimes under the low battery voltage conditions of a cold start. A new relay cured this fault. The message of this story is that for the best general diagnosis to the exact cause of a fault on your car is to ask your dog - "Ruff" is the most accurate you can get without some detailed examination of the problem.
