Alfa Romeo 147 Engine ECU Common Fault

The engine control unit (ECU) in Alfa Romeo 147 models is prone to common failures, leading to issues such as engine non-starting or failure to communicate during diagnostic checks. Additionally, a buzzing sound from the throttle body may indicate ECU failure. While less common, engine misfire or rough running symptoms may also occur.

Traditionally, resolving this problem involves purchasing a new unit from the manufacturer, which requires additional programming, adding to the overall cost. Our cost-effective solution involves testing and rebuilding your existing unit within 2-3 working days. Since it’s your original unit, there’s no need for programming once it’s returned.
