Hey, thanks for your reply. Your experience sounds pretty similar to my situation. Could you remember how much you paid last time to get the ECU fixed? And have you had any other problems with your car since then? Just trying to get an idea of what to possibly expect. Thanks in advance!

Hey, sure, no problem! Well, I paid around €1000 for the repair of my control unit. I can tell you that it was quite a chunk of change. But since then I haven't had any more problems with the car, everything runs like clockwork. In particular, this strange fault with the emergency call system has been resolved since the visit to my mechanic. So, despite the cost, it was absolutely worth it. So don't worry too much, a competent garage will be able to fix it! Good luck!

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience, that really helps! It sounds like I should prepare myself for a proper bill. But if the problem is solved after that and I don't have to worry anymore, it's probably worth it. I'll take your advice to heart and have the ECU checked at the garage. Hopefully my car will run as smoothly as yours afterwards. Thanks again! I'll keep you up to date!

Hey, I once had a similar problem with my 2010 Ford Mondeo. My control unit had given up the ghost. The symptoms seemed very familiar to me, especially the strange behavior of the emergency call system. At the mechanic's, it turned out that the control unit was faulty. This was not an everyday fault, but fortunately they were able to fix it at the garage. My car's life was back to normal after that. So, it could be something serious, but don't let it stress you out. A good visit to the garage can really work wonders. All in all, off to the garage and have the control unit checked! Good luck, buddy!
