    The ECU is exchanged and your dealer should have ordered and received your PPP unit prior to your booking. Then its simply OE unit out and PPP upgrade in.

    sorry mate but your incorrect, Prodrive no longer supply a replacement ecu, They get sent away to prodrive for mapping and sent back to the dealer, Usually 3 days

    Rob,

    Has your Storeman come backwith anything yet?
    Prodrive hasent really helped only confirming they change the centre section.

    I have asked for pictures of the actual exhaust components, but they came back with only a picture of a single exit rear box and not the centre section as these are all boxed up in Kits....

    All i really need is a picture of the PPP 2nd cat replacment link pipe or a schematic of the part that i can use as evidence of my missing parts.


    Cheers

    Jim

    Hi Jim Unfortunatly there are no schematic diagrams for prodrive parts that we can get hold of. I've had a word with our regional manager for I.M today he suggests ringing the customer services with you Vin number and asking if there has been a ppp kit fitted. The kit has to be registered to the vin number if the ecu has been re-programmed as there is no other way possible as the dealer themselves are not allowed and do not have the software available to do ppp upgrades to any vehicle. The ecu has to be sent away to prodrive who then reflash it and send out the rest of the ppp kit.

    Sorry I cant be of any more help as I'm finding it quite frustrating a fellow hatch owner is trying to be had by a dealer.

    The regional manager did assure me a ppp kit only consists of a reflashed ecu 2nd decat pipe a New backbox and 2 new gaskets

    Cheers anyway for your advise Rob, if you do ever fit another kit please could you take some pictures and send them over to me.


    Theres no point in ringing IM as clearly the car has never had the PPP kit fitted apart from the rear box, i was led to belive i was buying a second hand complete PPP kit at point of sale and paid £600.00 for which i now find only consisted of the rear box.

    The dealer is standing firm saying only the centre section & rearbox is changed and this is what they sold me, they and Subaru have told me the 2nd cat is not replaced even though i know this to be untrue, but for the life of me cannot prove..

    The missing ECU is going to be more trickey to get a result as the invoice state "re-flash ECU" if i knew then what i know now i should have asked for the letters PPP to be written on the invoice instead of Fit Prodrive exhaust system & Re-Flash ECU, well you live and learn......

    No problem, hope you get sorted.

    The top pic is the key one I guess, the 2nd cat pipe that PPP replaces.
    The prodrive back box has more "filled in" exit pipes that seem to be more than 1 layer of metal as the original ones pictued at the bottom are.

    I never knew the PPP exhaust left a nasty rusty steel section between two shinny new stainless pieces. That's got to be a case of cost cutting gone mad for a £1600 customer outlay.... not so many years ago for not much more money you'd have got a nice sports CAT and fuel pump with the kit.

    That nasty rusty section is very rusty now 18 months on with the 330S ( came with PPP on but same changes as above! )

    Need to finish my H&S system I guess from the 3" sports cat downpipe and cat replacement pipes...
