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

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

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

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.
Regards
JImbo :cry:

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