I have a E36 which is causing grief.
Car would not start despite having spark & what would appear to be too much fuel,as it was flooding.Just to cover my ar*e,plugs were replaced,coils, leads & cam sensor were swapped with another sweet running one,& a new TDC sensor fitted.The engine loom is in good condition(as it should be having only been replaced 2 years ago).All this was done in spite of a duty cycle reading that fluctuated between 80 & 140 milliseconds when cranking on a cold engine.As I said,I wanted to cover my butt before going down the ECU route.
Somebody recommended BBA Reman,who upon testing it reported it to be 'extensively damaged'.However,after 2 weeks,they could not get to the bottom of it,& we (amicably) agreed to call it a day.
So we took the plunge & ordered a new MB unit,which arrived yesterday,& the car was duly transported over to MB to be programmed in.
Now we come to the problem-despite having had all the documentation before they would order it,they have just called to say that it is the wrong one,& that another one must be ordered,£3000+vat,because the car has the full AMG Engineering kit.What on earth does this mean!!??
Can anyone help explain,or better still,have any ideas as to how to go forward.
HELP!
