How have you filled your fmic and pipes and tip with petrol? Water in the ecu is common, if you washed it thats prob what did it. Have you had a new windscreen recently at all?
 
mmm sounds like someone @ RS didnt put the windowscreen seal back on properly and it slowly filled up with water from the screen ????????

yeh as jimski said, we went up to rs had it done there and then.

going speak to paul tomorrow see what he says......

how much would seat charge for ecu?

its quite hard find one really....
 
I was quoted 500 notes when they tryed to tell me mine was fooked ( it wasnt ....tw@ts )
 
No still have the carbon canister installed, havent changed the vac lines since had it mapped-bar from just taking me boost gauge from the manifold instead of the d/v.

Garage have tried a ecu from one off their cars and they say me car runs fine......
 
thats shite mate!

I really cant see how petrol has got there tho, unless it was just flooding the engine and the fuel was getting pushed back into the engine via the valves but surly then it would go through the exhaust valve, not inlet?:banghead2
 
New ecu was about £1k from the dealer last time somebody looked into it I think.

It will be when you washed it that it got wet. We all know its a common problem with mk3 Ibizas. Im sure they will reflash whatever ecu you get for free but I will be surprised if they pay for or get you a new ecu.

Still do not understand how you have filled your intercooler and pipes aswell as tip with petrol. You really need to figure out how that happened.
 
he said at first that it wasnt possible at first as i got a second hand ecu and that it would be paired and immoberlized to a different car, but im sure the garage my car is at is pairing the ecu to my car....
 
sweeeet nice one mate, still not massively sure how fuel got in there though :shrug:
 
oh thats good then, hope get my car back soon then and have it running back up to date,

out of curiosity wasnt there something forge made then you put around the ecu from stopping this happening?
