DHill 16 Posted March 15, 2018 Hi guys, just recovered a corsa back that we sold and all signs point to the ECU. Common issue I know, but it's been a few years since we had one done at ECU Testing who were good but they have gone from £350 to £650! Anyone had this done elsewhere? I hear of BBA reman but don't know what they are like. Any recommendations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andymc1973 199 Posted March 15, 2018 BBA always been good for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autolink100 34 Posted March 15, 2018 We sent one to BBA reman a couple of years ago and it came back the same as before. We sent it back and they had another look at it but told us it was fixed but it wasn't, I think we gave them £350 if I remember correctly, No refund 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dealer 54 Posted March 15, 2018 Bba are conmen in my opinion, ecu testing or actronics are the the ones I'd normally use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justina3 518 Posted March 15, 2018 Never heard of the Corsa D having common problems with the ECU head gasket issues yes but ecu no, i give a second shout to ECU testing always done top work for me, we used to send them a lot of amplifier faults never had a single problem.

SC Derby 259 Posted March 15, 2018 It’s the 1.3 cdti that suffers from ECU issue I beleive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grant8064 219 Posted March 15, 2018 BBA seem completely useless when we've tried them. Clueless infact Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DHill 16 Posted March 15, 2018 Started misfiring then refused to start. Throwing various fault codes, ECU looks soaked I'm afraid. I've had a few done years ago by ECU Testing so I know they can do it but don't understand the hike in price. BBA reman seem to get a lot of poor reviews...

AutoJacob 34 Posted March 15, 2018 Blue hawk electronics 1/4 the price of BBA Raman, we had same problem about a year ago on a 2010 corsa d.. saved us about £800 not going with BBA, 3 day turn around and the car fired up first time no problems ever since. Make sure you get rid of all the debris in the skuttle panel and reseal the skuttle with clear silicone, you can also put a plastic bag around the ecu to further protect it.

justina3 518 Posted March 16, 2018 I wouldnt use a plastic bag myself over time it acts like a greenhouse and doesnt allow the water to escape just holds it there to ingress into the unit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo9 26 Posted March 16, 2018 Never had problems with BBA myself in the past , but I've got a unit with them at present so be interesting to see if their service has gone south Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSP Motors 39 Posted March 16, 2018 I used ECU testing for my last corsa d ecu and they sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with it..... there clearly was. Ended up having to get one of ebay coded to the car...... worked a treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SC Derby 259 Posted March 16, 2018 ECU Testing are 20 mins up the road from us and they have expanded to massive new premises, loads of new kit etc, so not sure if thats behind the price increases? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daveyp 0 Posted December 9, 2018 Any ideas on how much a new ECU for a Corsa from ECUSTOGO? Im afraid I’m a novice but looks like my ECU is water damaged, opened it up and corrosion on the board. thanks in advance On 22/03/2018 at 9:39 AM, DHill said: Thanks, ended up going with this guy after reading his feedback and giving him a call, he received the unit on Monday and I got it back by Tuesday!

BHM 994 Posted March 4, 2019 Ecustogo Some of the local lads use him & I've never heard a bad word. My only contact was about a year ago, over the phone he diagnosed the issue & told me what to do to correct the problem - he’s only a few miles away & could of easily opted to take the part & charge me, but didn’t.
