So IF the new ECU is the correct fix for the CEL/SL issue, there's a strong possibility my car will be back at the dealer in xxx KM. I didn't ask for the specific code (P0019/18/17...), will do that on Friday.
The new parts have been ordered today, arrival on Thursday, so if all goes well, I should have my car back on Friday. So I've only lost three days, not bad imo.
Rental car is still the Corolla AT (loool).

I also got VVTI gear replaced because of CEL. It fixed mine atleast but i still have strange idle dips now and then, especially when engine is cold. No new ECU or reflash here. Though Toyota Europe told Toyota Sweden (where i live) that there is an ECU update coming soon.
The strange idle i have still pisses me off, but without a CEL there aint much the Toyota dealer can do atm
Well you are lucky since Toyota Europe has it's main headquarter and storage facility in Belgium, you are close
I had to wait 17 days for my VVTI gear....

Drove 800 miles total this weekend after ecu flash. 5 hours strait up and 5 back. No cel no dip. Any stop idle was at solid 650rpm

That's how a 2012 car should behave at idle!
