The under bonnet drain where the rainwater flushes through got blocked with leaves etc a couple of months ago and the inside passenger foot well of the Passat filled with copious puddles of water.
Since then, my electric windows, central locking and all interior/boot/ lights have not been working. The fuses are all fine and have been thoroughly checked by myself and a mechanic.
I have been informed that the Convenience System - Electronic Control Unit (ECU) will need replacing, which involves removing the passenger side front seat and lifting up the carpet trim.
Can anyone help out with a reliable and honest mechanic who won't charge me the earth in labour?? I hear that the ECU itself is relatively inexpensive but it is a "labour-intensive" task.
I am in Uxbridge area of Middlesex (UB1/UB2) so anywhere within 5-10 mile radius of that would be great.
Any idea of the overall cost??
Many thanks in advance!|||As above, labour charges should be minimal, AS LONG as the connectors to the ECU haven't become too corroded by the water.

for good independently recommended garages.
It may well be worth getting a second hand ecu - the new part may well be staggeringly expensive from a dealer, but again, a decent garage should advise you further %26amp; source used parts.|||You can get a good ECU from a Scrapyard. Click onto !St, choice Spares and see if they can help you. Just enter your details, and they will get in touch by E mail. Its 1st choice spares (all Guarenteed)|||The part will be the most expensive piece of this and labour not the real concern.
