This baffling me, Help please

its below the stearing wheel, by the relay panel. you will have to get your keys re-coded after swapping it. It doesnt effect the immob, so you'll still be able to drive. but it will knock out your central locking till you get them coded

Nice one mate, i take it ill have to order this part from VW and get it recoded by them  this could end up being pricey

I have a spare depending on the part number

[beppe2672]

they're in the region of £100 from the stealers, I'd have a look at yours and make a note of the part number (theres 3 or four different ones depending on no. of doors, options etc) then see if you can get one from ebay, then get your keys re-coded, will probably save you about 80-100 quid!

anyone know how to tell if your ccm is coded to your keys? or anyone able to do it? think thats why my central locking isnt working, either ccm has gone or its been replaced and not coded, think the latter cause everything else on the car works fine

sorry for thread hijacking

Brilliant, is the part number on the unit or is there a way of checking without stripping the sterring colum

Thanks for the help guys this forum is awsome

Its not the steering column you need to strip, its down in the footwell above the pedals.
