As payment for some work I did, I was given a 2005 2.0 HDI Berlingo van with stellar mileage. Apparently the "heater core leaked so it loses coolant, the carpet gets wet!" according to the PO. I specialise in repair of BMW and MINI repair so it was a bit of a risk but a project and potential learning experience. As it turned out the damp carpet was from a badly fitted roof aerial and the coolant loss was due to a failed head gasket. This was repaired, engine out but an easy enough job, and the engine went back in and initially started and ran fine. After about 300 miles it went into limp mode that cleared after a cool down and restart. Also the preheat light has never come on even with a new preheat relay and 4 new glow plugs. After it went into limp mode I grabbed my OBD reader that I know works in other Berlingos but it wont talk to the ECU so I have no idea what the cause of the limp mode activation is?
I'm assuming both of these issues are probably ECU related. Reading through some posts on here it looks like I have to change not just the ECU, but the BSI, key reader and the key chip as well?
