T5 with 1.9PD needs ECU, possible project.

Not my van but asking as there are some geniuses on this forum, theres a T5 and its got ECU issues that are proving overwhelming. Seems like it needs a new ECU at least.

Re: Re-mapping AHU TDI

Helston Diesels were the local geniuses,
things might have changed these days.
Could be worth giving them a call?

Re: Sudden electrical death of washers, wipers, and heater fan.

Sudden electrical death of washers, wipers, and heater fan.

Checked the fuses 11 and 13, late van..
Earth crowns look fresh but I'll give them a wiggle.
Any tips what to look at next.
Electrics is my massive blind spot!

This will be my third set killed, due to discharge.. Quite expensive, but easy to do. Think I would like to go for the lithium. Interested to see if the...

Re: Fitting swivel seats

Worth doing. I just bought new swivels to suit. Something to consider is access to that underseat area. I have my leisure batteries under there but poor access.

Find a cheaper good welder before you need one and be prepared for the next job.
