Are you sure the early petrols are OBDII compliant? My 1999 1.8 certainly isn't!

There is also a way to kill the ECU by GSM if it is stolen...

When you say kill it do you mean "disable" or fry it?

You can't make a transponder from the diagnostic socket on our cars, no worries there!

disable...

there was a whole debate about the dangers etc with stopping the car at speed and in the end I did not follow it up, but it is possible and I have tested it in a safe area...

it is great if you know that the car is not on the motorway...

I seem to remember that there are several layers of security in the way from our last conversation on the subject....

I suppose thats the benefit of having the old fashioned keys compared to the new credit card style keys

klarzy · 23rd September 2014, 20:01

Is it due to the immobiliser not being on the same bus as the ECU and OBD socket??

Yes it is Trevor, all MEMS3 ECM are EOBD compliant, it's not a Pye "Lego" lurking inside the plenum you know
