hi guys as most of u know im new to the whole vectra thing, enfact diesel thing all together!
ive got the 05plate 150 cdti and bought a eco2 box from a member on here.
with my other thread, there are no numbers on the unit so i dont know which side is high power and which is low, however it appears regardless of where the dial is at it still feels just as powerfull and i still get the spanner light and limp mode when i boot it in second..
im concerned my engine may b damaged or the box may be faulty or perhaps im just a dumb ass n messin it up..
please give me suggestions..

The 7 sets of pins on the right are the power outputs for the box....30% 20% 10% 0%...-10% -20% -30%.
on the left the placing of the pins determines what map setting your on.

Spanner light & limp mode would suggest it is turned up to high.

i dont really understand tbh..
ive just found one tht isnt as powerfull but keeps the light off and its at 11 oclock..? so should i have it at 1pm setting then? im sure it was at that when i got it from the chap n didnt feel particularly powerfull..

If it works OK on the 11 setting I would leave it there.It may not be as powerful,but then you can't afford to have the car going into limp mode at inappropriate moments.

There the settings for the CRD2 box, Ill find the guid for adjusting the "green" box

you just have to play with it to get a happy balance m8

i had mine on the last setting and it went in to limp mode and spanner light, i read the codes and it was the ''common rail solinoid fault'' so be carefull, i got rid of the stored faults and its been fine ever since. its now on setting 7 and still quick (removed at the moment due to fuel consumption)

**twaiter** · 8th June 2009, 11:12

si have i got this right.

if theirs a stored fault due to me being on to high a setting the first time and the fault isnt cleared then everytime it goes past what its happy with the fault goes on?
how do i clear the faults? ive tried to brake pedal and accelerator thing but does nothing, ive tried to disconect the battery but didnt make a differance the light still shows on start up.

the fuel consumption on 11 is actually pretty good, i thing it makes it a bit better tbh..
i think tbh i'll be getting it remapped in the near future just to be safe..
thanks again lads! plz dnt forget to anser my question lol.
