    More ECU confusion

    I am looking at purchasing a GIAC chip..
    Supposedly if I have a 2002 1.8T FWD Passat, I should have a #4B0906018CM ECU. But my ECU is #4B0906018DF which they state as being for a 2005.
    I have missed out on 2 other chips due to not having a CM.
    Can someone tell me if this is an issue and why would I have a DF as opposed to a CM??
    I'M SO CONFUSED

    2009 125TDI Passat
    2002 B5.5 1.8T Passat

    im not quite 100% what you're asking here, but both are a flash not a chip, from giac anyway.

    It is a standard ME7 upgrade over OBD; as such there is no need to try and buy a second hand GIAC chip for it when you can get a handheld flasher/switcher unit, etc. like our SRS-II.

    That should be a flashable ECU. No point in buying a chip... What's your engine code?

    AS above. You can do a chip swap but its much easier to flash over OBDII

    your ECU's details will most probably be these,

    HW number 0261207639
    SW number: 1037362361
    Eprom: 29F800 PSOP44 8Mbit - Flash 512K x 16
    8 bit chksum: 62E2
    Inv. 16 bit chksum: A5A2
    UPG SW: 4B0906018DF 0001



    its the only DF variant I can find
