ecu swap+immo swap read,save+reprogram!?

If you get the ECU, immo box and key ( or at least the chip) I dont think you have to code anything for your car. you can unscrew the key reader off from around the ignition lock so you can use your original key that works the lock and hold the key reader with the new key together. If you can only get an ECU and immo without key I can make one from the immo..

Whats the part number on your ECU?

Oh, I have the key to that immo, I just have to recode my original keys to the immo..?.easy. I have registered vagcom.
The actual reading of an ecu is from which program?
Saving or transferring the information to the other ecu may be needed?
that noise apparently is relays clicking on and off, repeatedly.
dashboard loud warning sound
My ecu will get tomorrow.

You won't need to program your keys to the immo.. Like I said,
connect the new immo and ECU
remove the key reader from around the ignition
Use your original key in the ignition to turn the lock
Use the key from the new immo/ ECU and hold it in the key reader.

No coding required!

Ecu part no 044 906 024
Easy yes.

Have you plugged it all up and tried what I suggested?

**Bill Lee** · 29-11-2014, 07:02 PM

Haha...its going to take time to get those parts. Three hall senders, battery and most ignition parts new has slowed getting MORE things right down and a lambda sensor etc.
But will go into hock just to ....so will see about it soon.
Had to take the dash off to get mine so a wrecker will want more for that..uuhg!

OK..back..hope Chrissy was nice.
I now have the stuff for the swap. A few things for note, the replacements look like their older so a little bit of wiring s needed for a fit, and I'll try the ecu with vcds but not Start with it yet.
Also the key reader that I already have will do? Or do I need to make compatible it own one with its ecu?
So I'll try tomorrow, get it working with them and back track the components until the offender is found.
Sounds odd doing it this way, auto eleccys might have been easier!? But it will now rule out any doubt what is flooding current about.

Just to elaborate about the reader...my existing reader won't need to be replaced with the changed immo will it? Just programming any different keys in line with the immo requirements is all that's needed there!? Pretty sure.
