Hi, I have a 00 reg Opel Vectra with 105,000 on the clock.
The engine management light has come on and I have taken it to a main dealer. I have been told that the ecu needs to be replaced. Cost - labour approx. €150 +VAT and part is €1080 + VAT. Otherwise the car is in good shape but is now beginning tolose power and has become much heavier on petrol.
I asked a knowledgeable friend who said that an ECU doesn't come as a spurious part and that it is type specific for the car engine. Also he says that the keys have to be re-programmed etc.
Any suggestions as to where you could get a cheap job done in Cork - quote is pricey for the value of the car.
