Hi guys. Back after a long time of Brava running nice.
Here's what happened: got on the road 2 days ago, all was looking fine, the problem started on the way home, all of the sudden, while driving, when i pushed the brake pedal the gauges dropped to zero. Released the brake pedal, all up again, and so on until i stopped on the side of the road, and stopped the engine.
Bad idea, the car wouldn't start only after 4 or 5 attempts (it was like all of the sudden i had lost all battery power), and keep in mind that no light was on the dash (ecu, battery or other).
Drove normally for about 2 km and bang, again the same s^&t happens, but this time no power, no start at all no mater how many tries. Called a friend, towed me home.
Yesterday, went to take out the battery and recharge it, but i said let me give it a try, surprise she came to life, checked the battery voltage with the engine off 12.5V, and with the engine on 13.8V, all has runned smooth all day.
Today my vag com cable arrived, went to try to test the damn thing, maybe it has an error stored, and surprise again the car won't start, same simptoms.
First of all sorry for the long story.
Hope someone has an ideea cause i'm lost, and btw what software should i use for the IAW1AF13 ECU cause i've tried KPW71_USB and FiatEcuScan doesn't have this type of ECU so anything else?
Thanks in advance.
