At 330,000s replaced ECM with used one as car was cutting out for unknown reason then starting right up with no codes present. Managed to get a P0159 once which is ECM internal fault.
Henry (Doublebug) assisted to clone my old ECM over the internet. I asked him to retain the new ECMs firmware as it was from a T5 and over here we don't have evap controls for this MY; that saved firmware may come in handy at a later date.
