Hi. I have a possible hardware problem with the ECU in my Peugeot 206. Looks like there is an intermittent connection on one or more of the pins on one of the multiway plug/sockets. If its not the plug itself then it must be the ECU.

Is it possible to clone a new virgin ECU from the ECU in the car? If so how do I do this? I read somewhere that you need to copy the EEPROM, and you need the car security number.

Anyone know how this is all done?

Regards

It's a common problem with these, is yours an ABS car?

Yes it has ABS. Its a 2004 Petrol 1.4l 206 hatch.

Is this an ECU problem (dry joint / electronics fault) or the connector?

Thanks @shooting

They have many connector problems.
It's a sealed ecu filled with foam, to change the ecu you only need to read the original
eeprom and write it to another one (From scrap yard)
You'll need to cut into the foam. See PIC

This turned out to be a faulty ECU - The lefthand connector was shot to bits, several flaky connections. I got a service exchange, £140 from a chap in Plymouth.

Thanks for your help.
