unless you've swapped the immo box and key to match the ecu then you'll need to find someone with vagcom to pair up the replacement ecu to the immo

Did you see the car they were from running and then take the box, key, ring and ECU out of the car?

Sure they're all from the same car?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

it fires up and runs for a split second before stalling , would the immobilizer do this ?
