Hi all,
I have a 1998 Punto 60S 1.2 8V, done 103000 miles.
I've owned the car 7 years,change the oil/ filters as recommended,plugs were changed about 3 years back.
I took it for its MOT last week and failed on emissions.
The garage did a code read and it said a fault in the lambda sensor circuit. They did some basic tests and told me there is a voltage coming out of the black wire which goes to pin 29 on the ECU which means the sensor is ok,apparently. They have said to try doing a continuity test from the black lambda wire into the ECU to look for dry joints/ lack of continuity.
The numbers on the ECU are IAW 16F.E3/6A37-27.
I have looked on the internet and found companies that will test the ECU for £50 or if it needs repair then it's around £200!
I have seen ECU + keys on e bay for between £30- £60 but I am not too keen on that route just yet!
Any help/advice please?
