Various ECU faults can arise on vans. It’s a shame to say but some vans are actually shipped by the manufacturer with common faults or ones which are likely to develop over time. Whilst not costing an absolute fortune to fix, ECU faults are irritating and can be very dangerous to drive with.
Examples of ECU failures that can arise due to various modules having issues within the ECU include power steering column failure, sunroof control failure, gauge and instruments panel failure, ignition failure, etc.
Often the location of the ECU can create issues such as a tendency for water damage and also heat damage due to the ECU location in some models.
Most ECU’s can be repaired in the region of £100 – £250 for remapping the ECU. Costs for repairs vary according to the make/model with some vans being more complex than others. One of the problems with remapping is that it can re-occur and therefore prove quite costly in the medium-long term and sometimes appear to be a problem, which never quite disappears.
In certain circumstances, it may not be possible to repair/remap an ECU (even when using very specialist ECU repair companies), in such cases, a replacement ECU will be needed.
The cost of replacing an ECU could write off a van quite easily. It’s advisable to buy second-hand models from scrapped vans, which are dramatically cheaper, and cost could a similar amount to remapping. A new manufacturer ECU is usually out of the question due to cost grounds, which is why second-hand ECU’s usually are quite popular and work well.
