    It caught me off guard as well. Even I didn't expect it that quick, which goes to show that Royal Mail can offer a brilliant service. If only other companies would follow your example and give customers the option. It really irritates me when I have to pay a ridiculous surcharge (usually an...

    VCDS Supplier

    A very big thank you to Tim (Cruiser89) and the crew at Advanced In-Car Technologies Ltd. I ordered up my cable yesterday around noon and it arrived just around 1pm today. Not only is that fantastic service, but because I live in Northern Ireland, Tim used Royal Mail instead of their usual...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    A final update on this from my side., and some embarrassment as well :oops:. I finally have the car up and running sweet as can be. It goes for its MOT in a fortnights time and then to be sold (to fund my other car). So, just in case someone is doing this and isn't mechanically minded (like me)...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    It's been a while since I even looked at the car, as it isn't top of my agenda right now. The only code I ever had for mine was for the immobiliser, but from what I've read, it didn't need coded to the car because it was a 2001 car. I have had the car running (probably a month ago), but it...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    I'm now back with my old pump in the car, having had the ECU repaired. I remembered what you had said in post #19 and checked the voltage, and both were over 12v. Have followed Chris's advice and others on here. Wouldn't even contemplate swapping the ECU, as it means cutting and patching...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    As S4_Dan says, I'm back using my original pump. It was the ECU that was at fault, which was repaired by ECU Testing. Followed the instructions in Elsawin to the letter, and double checked everything before and after I did it. Pipes have all been slackened and diesel flowing whilst cranking...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    So some dry weather and another bash at the car. Someone suggested Holts Easystart (they also suggested brake cleaner as well) and spraying in that after the MAF sensor. Had the battery on the charge overnight and also using jumps leads from another running car. Car turns over and starts with...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    Never got a chance. Been pi**ing it down all day. Which also meant I didn't get any gardening done either.

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    Got the air out of it. Found a video on YouTube where you basically take the pipe from the filter to the pump, and keeping it as vertical as possible, dribble diesel into it until its full. Then connect it back to the filter. Seems to have worked as no more air bubbles during cranking...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    Another month and another ordeal. The latest on this saga. Having not been able to sort the problem out, the mechanic decided it was time to give me the car back (to free up space). When he told me this he also threw in a comment about the J399 codes not being there when he first looked at the...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    Well that sounds easier and cheaper to resolve, but which fuse, and where is it? Should have mentioned in my previous post that I also checked all the fuses (to side of dash) after reading the comment by adamss24 in his response to the post by quattrojames on the same issue, and none of them...

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    First two numbers in block 18 read as follows: Supply voltage injection pump - 0.00V Supply voltage from ECM - 11.63V Does this imply that there could be an issue with the wiring to the pump - or worse?

    Replaced Fuel Injection Pump - Can't Get ECU Pin Code

    Finally got around to sending the ECU off to MOT7 to have the immo deleted. Got it back and managed to reinstall this morning, but still no joy. It's still throwing up the following two errors, which to me implies that the pump I got is also kaput. 01318 - Control Module for Injection Pump...
