    Have you read the fault codes? Then post them. It maybe a little bit simpler than you think.

    Thumbs up

    For example, it is more likely a faulty temperature sensor, sending the wrong signal to the ecu. Generally speaking, such faults are rarely caused by a faulty ecu.

    Sorry .. old Thread.

    I also think this is faulty ecu.



    Have got Zafira A 18XE with same problem .

    1.Fan running when ignition on (Cold)

    2.No Spanner Light

    3.No Ecu light

    4. Car does not start

    5. Cannot connect to ecu with Op-Com.



    I Leave the car till lunch time in the sun.


    1. Fan not running when ignition on.

    2. Spanner light on .

    3. Ecu light on.

    4. Car Starts.

    5 . Can connect to ecu with Op-Com.


    So i wiggled ecu plugs and found car to die when I move the one.

    Checked ecu plugs and was okay.

    Decided to Open Siemens ECU and found broken off aluminium wires inside going from aluminium casing to ecu pins .


    Foocked up The ecu while trying to remove the slime with brush and solvent. (Did not see all the other thin gold wires inside until i put under spy glass)

    Regards

    Hi

    Just an update.

    Got S/Hand Ecu set pre-coded with correct software and chips for car from e-bay seller .... ecu express.co.uk

    Plugged in and car was Runner .

    I mounted the ecu on rubber mountings to the engine.

    Hope this will help to prevent damage to those thin wires inside the ecu.

    Regards
