What you get when you buy 0281018291
New unit
- condition: new,
- codes itself to the vehicle and immobiliser,
- after fitting: write the injector codes with a diagnostic tester.
Preparation for the vehicle
The Virgin version works with no faults: once connected it pairs itself with the immobiliser and vehicle, with no immobiliser programming. IMMO OFF also starts the engine, but leaves an immobiliser fault and a red warning on the dashboard that disappears only after programming the immobiliser – that is why we recommend Virgin. Condition: matching numbers and a working immobiliser.
Warranty and services
At extra cost: chip tuning, EGR OFF, DPF OFF. Free of charge: cloning – just send the old ECU or its files. Warranty: 1 year.
Symptoms – diagnosis first
Typical symptoms are no start, no injector control, no communication or power to the ECU, and failure after flooding or a short circuit. The ECU is not always to blame – wiring, power supply and sensors give similar symptoms, so diagnosis comes first.
