my mate has a diesel 02 plate vito, he says it goes ok till it gets to around 60 70 mph then if you put ya foot down it looses all pwer, he has been told that it could be the ecu, anyone got any ideas????

 

he has also been told that if t is the ecu e will have to get the barrel and key to match the ecu as it has an immobiliser in it, anyone know how much these are or how to get hold of a second hand one???

had the same problem with a nissan cabstar and a peugeot boxer allan

It's unlikely (but not impossible) for the fault to lie with the ECU, I work in a Mercedes/Jeep/Subaru Parts Department and can't remember us being asked for a Vito ECU in the past three and a half years.

ive just been told that the ec light comes on now and then and that the merc garage done a diagnostic and it came up with an ecu unit fault????

 

wish they would tell me this before i posted about the problem lol, will tell him to change the filter though bri, cheers mate

cheers crashcourse

Ive had this with leaking boost pipes on a kangoo (although that ****er wouldnt go above 50!) however, i think the actual fault was with the actuator i believe which was allowing the turbo to provide too higher boost which was blowing the pipes of.

 

Could be that??
