Peugeot V56.12 ECU Replacement for 1.2 PureTech Non-Turbo Vehicles
Has your Peugeot been diagnosed with a faulty Continental or Vitesco V56.12 engine ECU? Pelican Diagnostics can supply a professionally prepared replacement ECU for selected Peugeot vehicles fitted with the 1.2 PureTech non-turbo petrol engine.
This replacement product is suitable for supported Continental and Vitesco V56.12 engine control units fitted to models including the Peugeot 208, 2008, 308, 3008, 5008, Partner and Rifter.
Your replacement ECU is programmed with the immobiliser disabled in the ECU, allowing it to operate correctly with your vehicle’s immobiliser and engine-management system. This provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to purchasing and programming a brand-new ECU through a main dealer.
Immobiliser delete in the engine ECU does not affect your vehicle’s security as an original programmed key will still be required to start the vehicle. The immo delete only allows an un-programmed ECU to be fitted to the car, thereby avoiding expensive dealer replacement, programming and extended waiting times.
Please check your original ECU number against the supported part numbers below before ordering. Contact us when you are uncertain about compatibility.
