Passat 3C tdi TCM location

[Sanity]

Hello guys. I am struggling to find the TCM of a 2006 2.0tdi Passat. It has a 02E trans. I have checked the fender, under passenger side mat under front seats in boot but still no joy. Please help

Transmission control module?
That's part of the mechatronics which is behind the black cover on the front of the transmission. You can see the plug for it if you remove the airbox...but why do you need to know it's location?

Oh thanks, I suspected that but I wasn't so sure if I was correct. There no Drive whatsoever and the Park release solenoid is not even responding when I press the brakes. I have a Transmission fault :28775 - No Communication with Gear Selector ModuleU0103 - 000 - - MIL ON
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 11100000
Fault Priority: 0
Fault Frequency: 255
I tried replacing the shifter assembly but that didn't work. so I thought I should make sure there isn't any other item to check before changing the transmission

The round 20 pin connector has only 8 wires where it plugs into the Trans. There are two wires that are at the 10 Pin shifter connector that go to the Transmission, I checked them for continuity and they seem to be ok. This has led me to the conclusion that my mechatronics unit/TCM has 'dropped the mic'. Does anyone know if getting a secondhand transmission is a good idea vs getting the Mechatronics unit repaired. The issue I have with second hand is that the broken parts are usually the same age as the secondhand parts so there's no telling when they will breakdown again.

Hello Hillbilly
I managed to workout the issue on my Passat. The shift lever is not getting power at pin 10 of the connector. I was looking at a wiring diagram which I downloaded from VWerwin something.. So I fed external power to the connector and I got drive and the error went away.
Now that's most of my problems solved. The remaining issue is this, according to the wiring diagram power should come from fuse 13 of holder C through bridge 331 (B331).
Firstly my wiring diagram is not a reliable source because it says its from Nov 2011 on-wards. Mine is 2006 and secondly it does not show me the location of B331, and Its not clear whether fuse box C referred to is the one on the left or the right a pillar as they have the same shape on my car. Are you able to help me with this info from your workshop manual?
I have stitched together pics from the wiring diag I used.

Sorry havent got any diagrams like that as the stuff I have is mainly on how to pull car to bits but doesnt show them. Ive sold it and may have deleted some of the Passat stuff

Fuse box C is the main interior one on right side of the dash.

However I believe for earlier B6 that pin is getting power from SD16 (red with white trace wire) 5amp. So on the left side of the dash panel.

Thanks a lot guys for your support. The fuse is indeed on the left fuse panel. I used my circuit tracer and there was a dry contact behind the panel. This weekend I will put the car together and take it for a spin.
