Hi following my post last friday the A2 has been in the garage and been tested , although for me it shows all the head gasket symptoms , runs cold and then dies when warmed up , and I am pretty sure there was at least one spot of water by the expansion tank. Anyway the guy in the garage after lots of testing thinks it is the CCU .
I asked about getting an ebay spare, there are a couple on for about £80. He advises that you cant fit a spare and it needs to go away to be repaired as it has all of the code for the car on it ? I asked about repair cost which he advised £25 courier, £75 test charge which you get back if you proceed with repair, and £££ hundreds (ouch, ouch ) for the repair .
Any advice on can you swap units ? or most economical repair very gratefully received.
Many thanks
