My wee cousin has just bought a 2001 Mk 2 punto 8 valve, which is running rough. I've had a wee look at it, and it appears that it's only running on two cylinders...one coil pack down. When I check for a spark, there is a very weak spark. Engine management light "on".
He has taken it to a diagnostics garage, and they confirmed that the coil pack drivers are faulty...new ECU required...ok. He also said it may be best to get one from a scrappies with the fuse box and key.
The question is..I thought these were plug and play? and does the imobiliser live in the fuse box. I thought this Punto would be too old for the synchronising between ECU and Immobiliser needed.
Any thoughts?
