They advised that the part number I supplied could be repaired by them, so in good faith I sent off the DPI.
They contacted me approximately one week later to advise they couldn't repair this part number DPI & I was relieved of £60 for the benefit of them "testing" it.
I'd already tested it, so if they couldn't repair it I would have preffered a call to let me know, rather than them testing a component they knew they couldn't fix.
I advised a refund would be acceptable to me & they refused.
I receive a number of diagnostic jobs locally from other garages & am amazed by how many have used the dodgy ecu repair businesses proliferating in the UK. They often deliver the vehicle to me with the knowledge that they sent an ecu off for testing and it passed all tests. At this point they hit a brick wall diagnostically, being competent and carrying out all tests which indicated the ECU was at fault.
Incredible how many of these "none faulty" "tested okay" ECU's are scrap.
Cloned tools bought cheap & sold expensive, is just another way for the immoral sector of the trade to generate a fast buck from unsuspecting workshops who use them in good faith.
Caveat Emptor.
