Eco mode.........help!

Post by rushman1uk »

Oh, i think i may of made the mistake of posting this elsewhere on this forum.........sorry!

First of all i maynot post much here, if anything as i know naff all about car but i love reading the post's here. But i was wondering if you guy's could help.

My 206 wouldn't start. It just turned over, recovery came out and took me to a independent garage. They checked/looked it over and found nothing. They got a auto technician to come out & he thought it was the ecu & bsi. That was sent off and they found a brittle wire, so that was replaced. Now the units are back in the car & it still won't start. It's still won't start and just showing eco! Can anyone one help as i really can't afford to buy a new car. My car is nearly 10yr old, 05 reg, 68000-ish mile on clock, well looked after. But i need a car to help with my disabled wife.

Can't help with non start without more to go on. Eco mode will go when engine starts, so don't worry about that.
Have you got any fault codes?

When requesting help of a technical nature, please give as much detail of the fault as possible along with details of exact model, engine size & type, gearbox, year, mileage, and any relevant work carried out to try to solve the problem to help us help you.
Better still, put the details in your signature.

Not an immobilizer problem although the garage should have ruled that one out.

If the garage and an auto electrician are struggling when they have the car in front of them, we haven't got much of a chance trying to diagnose it remotely.
If there were fault codes, or something else to go on we may have a chance.
Non start could be hundreds of things. These cars are full of sensors, security features and computers.
Any of these could cause a problem. Then you have mechanical issues that could also cause it to not start, such as a cracked inlet, head gasket, broken cam belt etc:
Does the garage still have it or are you going to have a crack at it yourself?
