I was told that all Golf ECU's are coded to the car.

To get a replacement the existing ECU has to be sent away with the new/replacement ECU to have the codes detected and swapped over.

Dont know how true this is but thats the info i was given for my Mk 3 16v.
Mystic Blue Mk3 16v + Black Mk5 Gti 05 plate + Peugeot 405 Mi16
