plugged vagcom in the other day and it came up if this.
internal contr module.rom error
the code 16989
rom error does not sound good to me but the car is running great,really do not know what it is help please
-
i'd try clearing it and see if it comes back
can mean a faulty controller but most of the time its just a communication error between vagcom and the controller, so not important

I think when he says clearing it he means clear the fault on VAGCOM.

Is this the first time you have used Vagcom on this car?
A Vagcom ROM errom can be down to wrong software on the ECU Chip?
If you can read all the other controllers with vagcom and the ROM error keeps comming back then your remap software can be incorrect or currupt. But dont take my word 100% yet.

I am 99.9% sure you have the wrong software in your ECU :undecided:
The 1.8t ECUs have a few variants of hardware numbers and each hardware version has a few different software revisions. If you put the wrong software vervision on the ecu you will get a ROM error "READ ONLY MEMORY" which is fixed inside a eeprom chip. The car will run and work but not 100% as the map areas will be wrong.
Whats your ECU HW number? It should start with 0261********

looks like your not having too much luck with your remap If the company who remapped your car wont or cannot put it right Then I will help you out. Send the ecu or bring the car to us and we will put it right for you for free. or just put a bigbhp.com sticker on your rear window.

will it matter that i have my rear window tinted,phoned him and he said its the right software and wil have nothing to do with the remap he was a complete tos@er :angry: i asked him aswell what software it was and he wouldnt tell.
-
Well your welcome to drop into us Saturday I will have a look and tell you whats what and try to get this sorted out for you. Shame your remapper guy up close to you aint as helpful.
I think on your ECU there will be two option for software and harware combinations. the only way to find out if the wrong revison loaded in your ecu is loaded is to re-load your ecu with the other revision and test the DTCs with Vagcom.
