Hello all.
I've got a 2001, Passat with a petrol engine & the car has generally never been right, I initially had problems with engine management in that I kept getting a warning light & after being plugged in by a friend was told that there had been at least 1 misfire,
That went away but I kept having problems with the windows & door locks operating of their own accord & I found a control box under the passengers seat which was soaked!!! I'm lead to believe this is the ECU??
Now it's quite clearly misfiring & the management light is on. I did a service & changed the plugs, still the same so I've now bought a set of ignition leads which I haven't fitted yet & am considering also buying the thing that would be, the distributor?
My question really, is can I or is it worth replacing the ECU? How would I go about this? And does anyone have any opinions as to wether I'm on the right line?
Many thanks in advance, Nick.
