if your ECU had 'had it' i wouldnt expect the car to do anything...

whats more likely is the garage just dont know how to connect to the fiat 3 pin system correctly, try another garage

Thanks for reply

I took it to the same garage that came up with the fault codes that i required a temp sensor and had tried other garages before this with the same problem reading the cdu.

Hi everyone

Ive been looking for a thermosat for my marea weekend 2.4 do you have to buy the hole unit.The cooling temperature sensor looks straight forward.

get them from a dealership, If the thermostat is part of the complete housing (like the other diesels), you won't get them much cheaper anywhere else.

Have a look at the Bosch E-catalogue for the temp sensor, that'll tell you which other cars were fitted with the same sensor & the Bosch & OE part numbers. . You should be able to source that from a good motor factor. Motor factors worth a try for the thermostat too.

You using a "specialist" or a main dealer?
Main dealer is the place to go to get codes read correctly.

hi there

I went to work after my previous post and the injector light went off when i started the car up.

I went to a specialist to fit the sensor and he cleared the code with diagnostics,also had glow plugs fault code which he said no to worry about them and said they are a pig to change.

no fault lights on the dash on me way home so what now?

cheers

No light and running fine. Seems like a result to me.
