123313, anyone got their ECU reflashed?
Posted by MCubed45, Apr-26-06 09:20 PM
just wondering if anyone managed to get their ECU reflashed by the dealer and if they charged you. my CEL still bothers me and it's only on b/c of the stupid secondary air crap. is there anywhere to get this done besides the dealer? i went once and they wanted to charge me a $100 diagnostic fee and said i hafta leave the car. fuckers. maybe i'll try walking in with just the ECU next time.

it should be free, because they didnt perform the recall/tsb correctly.

that's what i said. i think it falls under TSB not a recall though. tsb's aren't covered by the dealer, right? it kinda sucks too b/c my old ecu died (that one wasn't flashed correctly) and the replacement (used) one i got was the same way. boo. seriously how hard can it be? it prolly takes them like a couple minutes to do. i wish it was something you could do yourself. i've reflashed my RAZR several times already to update firmware :P

I'm going to try my local dealer and see what they say...

You sir have the best looking car on the board. Un-pimped, un-cladded, un-cluttered - just the simple pure form of the car's design. VERY well done.

I had my 1995 ECU reflashed because they didn't do the recall properly. They made me pay $100 for the "diagnosis", the flash was "free", and then I had to pay $12 for this sticker:


Assfuckers.
