I have been told the ecu needs replacing on my 1.2 Fiat Stilo (error code 01).

Can anyone tell me whether I can use the ecu from a 1.2 Punto.

Thanks
 
No, a new ecu is matched to the bodycomputer the first time you turn on the ignition - an ecu from another car won't do the job.....
After this first contact the ecu can't be used in another Stilo anymore (only if you also swap the body computer and keys in a car with the same configuration...)
 
By body computer do you mean the immobiliser box next to the fuse panel under the steering column.

I have the ecu, immobiliser box, key, ignition barrel off a 1.2 punto - if I put all of this onto my 1.2 Stilo will it work?

Thanks mate
 
The body computer controls all the "body" or interior functions such as the immobiliser, door locks, dash display, radio functions etc..... I dont think it will work due to the complex nature of the Stilo electronic systems. The Punto mk2 is no where near as sophisticated as the Stilo, and I can almost guarentee it wont work!

+1. Couldnt agree more... Get ready for a new (refubed) ECU my friend...:(
