Hopefully someone can provide some insight into the unfortunate situation I find myself in. I was having F1 transmission issues on my 2006 Quattroporte and I had the actuator and accumulator replaced. I sent the car to the main dealer, I got it back, drove it a couple of times and then the transmission failure go to dealer came on and car stuck in limp mode (1st & 2nd only) They had the car for a few weeks removed the gearbox again and apparently everything was okay with the transmission but they couldn't start it. It always started fine before it went there and I even started it to drive it on the tow truck. They are now telling me I need a new transmission ecu. That's why it won't start. Apparently its "not getting an earth/start authorization signal from the transmission ecu"
My questions are;
1) how many people have had to replace their transmission ecu
2) I had an indy look at it on their scan tool and they told me the ecu information had been changed. The drawing number, software number and manufacturing date had been changed from what was previously stored before the car went back. The new manufacturing date is 09/14/2018. (my indy had scanned the vehicle previously that's why they have the data)
3) Is it possible they wiped my ecu when they were trying to fix it and are now trying to make me pay for their mistake?
4) If my ecu was wiped cant they just reinstall the software or once its wiped that's it?
5) Can I replace it with a used ecu or are they specific to the vehicle and need programming which would mean I can only buy a new one?
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can offer some input. I feel like they are trying to screw me.
