Anyone got a spare ECU for a 1996 16V, mines knackered

if you already have a matched key and transponder box then vag-com can match another ecu to your car without needing the SKC. dont need vag tacho or commander to do that.

you don't need to log in to reset the adaption?

You need to re-adapt, and VAG-com/VCDS is just fine.
You go into the engine ECU coding, and immobiliser coding in turn, read, adapt, save (I think that's the terms).

I've had 3 different immobiliser ECUs in my car and adapted each time using VAG-com/VCDS.

seems you're right, just tried it on an old knackered ecu we have kicking around .. oh well that'll save me 30 seconds next time i do one

topher, you say you're near the midlands, where abouts? would be useful to know just for future reference if you are able to reprogramme. cheers

Danny,
Will the ECU work with a 96 16V,

what do you think of this CAMCO may be able to repair the ECU, the exact fault is a G71 Map sensor?

workshop is in hinckley but i do mobile calls for those who can't get the car started

i have you still got the ECU? I've checked the code on mine and the VW is the same but the Siemens code is different mine has 5WP4 - 237, do you know if it makes a difference.

I'll speak with the local ECU specialist and also ask them.

Please let me know if you still have it and i'll get back to you, tomorrow.

Cheers
