HELP !!

I put my ecu back in my S4 avant (1998) after it had been sent away to be chipped and the car will not start.
any ideas

carless.

what did ya tuner say..is the plug inserted back in2 ecu firmley...

Yes, speak with your tuner, after you have checked it is connected correctly.

I wont be able to get him untill tomorrow.I removed the ecu and put it in a few times.I am getting the yellow key symbol initially.I think the keys may need recoded,can the this be done on the ecu out the car. or does the car have to be taken also

Is the EPC light coming on at all when you switch the ignition on, or not?

I dont know what the EPC light is.The only lights that come on is the yellow car symbol,the airbag and battery light.

no epc light,The yellow light come on for about 3 seconds then goes off.

This means the ECU is not responding, either dead or something has gone wrong with it, either the chip or the ECU itself.

Thanks for your help guys.All I can do is take the ECU back to Greer Sport.However I think he uses superchips,so I dont know what they can ,or will do about it.

I will just have to dust down the bike now.
Cheers

Never knew that Greers did any work on Audis?!

I'd be interested to hear the outcome of this please mate...

Hi
Yeh Bill puts the work out to one of his suppliers.He has worked on all my other cars ,subarus,volvos and bmws.He has some good results with an Rs4 recently.Its not superchips though.Its some racing development team down south.

He has sent the ECU back.I had e-mailed MRC recently to book the car in for a remap and work,but they never got back.So I took this route instead.It could end up a costly mistake.It will be MRC the next time thought even if I have to take the car down on a trailer from Sunny Scotland.

If at first you don't succeed in getting through to MRC keep trying (email, phone, whatever) - it will be worth the wait...

Terrible service - we should all stop dealing with MRC with immediate effect

Bout time they employed some eye candy to answer the phones.......and bought a kettle!

mmmm, eye candy
