Engine running with no Keys ???

Guest
Hi All,

If I turn the main lights on - the dashboard lights up like the key has been turned to step 1. If I turn the car on with the lights on and then turn it off and remove the key the engine keeps running until I turn the lights off.
I've been told £55 + vat to diagnose and its probably an earthing problem with the ECU which we all know when the stealership gets there hands on it will end up with it definately being an ECU problem and them wanting £250+ to replace.
Can anyone help?

Staffordshire, I have 2 cars an Ibiza Tdi and a Clio. Problem is with the Clio but Ive been told its a known problem on other cars. Which is why I thought I'd give it a shot as people have been pretty helpful with my Tdi

Leave the clio running in a dodgy part of staffordshire, without the key... then get a insurance payout saying they must have hot wired it and purchase another Ibiza Tdi with the money :)

Sorry, best I can think of :)

Cheers. Will give them a call. Was debating whether to buy the obdII cable and do the print out myself but if they come in cheap enough I wont bother.

I may try it. Tried to get hold of the Renault software but couldnt find it anywhere though.

Spoke to GT Autos and they quoted £55 + vat for diagnostic but said they couldnt guarentee whether it would be done in an hour. Whereas Stealers quoted £55 + vat and didnt state a timeframe but seemed to know what the problem was without diags. I now have a dilemna!
Pay the stealers £55 for them to say I need a new ECU or pay an auto electrician an uncapped amount to find the problem.
