Repair instead of replacement
If your ECU has no communication, cuts out once the engine is warm or has been contaminated with diesel, we can repair it – then it does not need programming. In the BMW 2.0 Diesel, diesel usually leaks from a faulty fuel pressure sensor and reaches the ECU connector through the wiring. Replace this sensor before refitting, or the problem will come back.

Extra services (paid)
On request we carry out EGR OFF, DPF OFF, AdBlue OFF and swirl flap removal (Flaps OFF). DPF OFF and AdBlue OFF only on cars fitted with these systems – not every model has AdBlue.
