Hello All
I have recently purchased an Audi A2 and I need an engine control unit as my key fob doesn't work. I have tried so many combinations to get it working with 2 Audi mechanics. I'm not 100% sure I can trust everything they say but I'm pretty sure now that it is down to the ECU and a working one is needed. I was wondering where I can find out exactly which one I need and how much it'd cost. can I find out by going by my number plate? if possible the reg is: X995LLX
The latest mechanic says they are £180 with £80 labour to fit but he MAY have one in the shop which he doesn't need. He'd sell it to me for £80 but first he needs to see mine to see if the one he has will work in my car.
It seems silly to me in this day and age that I can't know exactly what I need by going off the number plate.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. I have been stitched up by the seller of this car and I trusted him. He must have known there was a problem. He said I probably just needed a new battery in the fob!!
Also, the Air bag and the ECU light came on soon after I bought the car so I got the first mechanic to clear them while I got the car MOTd but the airbag light is back on again!
Cheers
David
