55258957 MJD 8F3.GH Engine ECU – Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 Multijet
The Magneti Marelli ECU offered here has been prepared as VIRGIN with an autocoding function. Once installed in a compatible vehicle, the module automatically pairs with the immobilizer during the first engine start.
ECU application
- Fiat Grande Punto – selected versions with the 1.3 Multijet 85 HP engine; the label is marked “G. PUNTO SDE 85Hp E05+”.
Before ordering, compare Fiat part number 55258957 and ECU designation MJD 8F3.GH with your original unit. The label also shows reference BC.0117704.B. Vehicle model, engine capacity and power output alone are not sufficient to confirm compatibility. If the numbers differ, please send us a photo of the original ECU label together with the VIN.
Possible symptoms of ECU failure
- No communication with the ECU during diagnostics.
- Engine does not start or stalls intermittently.
- Irregular engine operation despite checking the main related components.
- Signs of water damage, corrosion or physical damage to the ECU housing.
These symptoms may also have other causes. Before replacing the ECU, we recommend checking the power supply, grounds, wiring and stored fault codes.
Preparation, programming and cloning
The VIRGIN autocoding version is prepared to automatically pair with the immobilizer of a compatible vehicle after installation. There is no need to copy immobilizer data from the old ECU beforehand or program the replacement ECU with a diagnostic tool. After the first start, we recommend scanning for fault codes and checking that the vehicle operates correctly.
If you need to retain the data and configuration from the original module, please ask us about ECU cloning. This service requires the original ECU to be sent to us and its data must still be readable.
