replacing a diesel ECU using TOAF
the ECU on my dad's 75 diesel auto appears to have developed a fault. The car has intermittently not been starting (just keeps turning over). Leave it alone for a little while and on reattempt it starts up and runs absolutely fine. Once running it never has any issues.
Had it checked on a t4 by Kevin at MG Rover Repair Center Wickford and the ECU was showing errors including a corrupt eeprom. The faults were cleared but come straight back. He has advised the ECU needs replacing and has seen this problem several times on the diesel models. I know a virginised ECU is required in order to code it in with a t4, however if I were to obtain a used ECU with the exact same part number has the original one, can it be coded in using TOAF by simply backing up the original ecu using TOAF and uploading those files to the replacement used ECU, or is that wishful thinking? |

You would have to hope there isn't any corruption on the original too. I can generate original files for the VIN if needed. But you'd have to get the stuff to read and write the flash chip (I assume you still have EEPROM stuff) |
