Hi everyone

Got in the car this morning, looked down at the digital readout to check pressure, temps etc, and it looked like something out of the Matrix! It was all green lines and nonsense data.

A quick flick of the steering whell buttons and it got worse, the whole screen was covered in brackets like this ")))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))"

Then flicked the button again and it is readable, but the numbers look like they are running down the screen.....

It had the ecu in the dash replaced before I bought it (and the mileage had to be reset to 0).

Is it a major problem?

Cheers
MikeGF

Same thing happened to mine, Pulled over switched off the engine and restarted all OK, never happened again... unless it reoccurs wouldn't worry about it.

Mine had to go back to the factory when it did this, the processor buggered up. Took about a week to sort it out again...

Well, exactly the same thing happened this morning

Mr Freefall - Did they need to reset the mileometor to zero?

Mr F - No problem at all. Last night and this morning, 100% perfect..

Until some old numpty veered over my side of the road, causing me to swerve with a nice scuffed alloy thanks to a low keerb by the side of the road. Great....
