Should Vauxhall make a contribution to this?
My son owns a Vauxhall Combo Van which he uses for his work.
In 2009 he had to have a new ECU fitted which was carried out at a Vauxhall dealership using approved parts.
On friday last he had to be towed in to the garage. The problem has been diagnosed as a faulty ECU unit which needs to be replaced. Do you think that it is reasonable for such a unit to last only four years and do you think it is likely that Vauxhall should make a contribution towards the cost?
