Thank you for sharing your knowledge with ignorant people in this field. I wonder if I can get your opinion also... Astra H 1.9 cdti engine light appeared one day and car went very slow. I checked codes and we're related with egr valve. Took it off, cleaned it, placed it back on (didn't connect the plug for educational purpose). Engine started normally and died after 2 seconds. It never started again plugged in or off. Cranking sounded different, much weaker like if an electronic device was preventing it to work properly. Found a similar problem online which was resolved by switching off the battery for 30 min. After doing the same, engine never cranked again. Spanner light is on and fuel pump relay is clicking like crazy with fuel pump doing some noise too. If egr plug is disconnected, the relay is quiet and also the pump but nothing happens either. Tried other relays, same situation. I've got the op com now. Maybe the immobilizer is on? Thank you

Hi, enjoyed the easy to follow clip. Thankyou. Issue: I have a Corsa VXR and need to replace the existing ECU which has been remapped and have it replaced with a non remapped donor Corsa VXR ECU. The reason being is that the car failed an MOT on emissions with the remapped ECU so, i have been advised by a few mechanics that the lambda and catalytic converter are all in working order and that the easiest way to try and resolved the emissions issue is to install a donor non remapped ECU. Question: Can the one car key be programmed to operate both the remapped and standard ECU (to allow alternating between ECU's) or does each ECU require individual key transponder programming? I guess what i am asking is can i swap ECU's as a plug and play after programming and use the one car key?

Hello buddy. I have a question. My Astra H 2008 z20ler has a code P0621. The engine doesn't start. I have repaired the charger. The engine was working very well nonetheless at the time eliminate of the cables in battery the engine stops. Since this moment the p0621 is available. Do you know if the ecu internally is damaged? we take off cables at the time the engine is running the engine stops and after that the code is available the engine doesn't start.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

That code refers to a code for the alternator light wire... if that makes sense... Double check connections, and that the alternator you installed is good... That however, should not prevent the car from starting... Something else is causing it... Go through everything you have disturbed while changing the alternator... Check grounds, connections, etc... 👍👍👍

The message is somewhat misleading. What it actually means that you can only change it as long as it's in factory state (ie. odometer is actually 0 or at least below 50-100 kms/miles, depends on factory and model). But once the odometer has some in it, you can't change it at all, or only set it to a higher value - regardless of whether it has been change any time. Of course there are tools that will allow you to change the odometer even in this state, by circumventing the factory constraints.
