URGENT ECU HELP! ADY ECU - UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Khare]

guys, would this 037 906 025 B ECU from a VW VOLKSWAGEN SHARAN 2L 8V ADY ENGINE work on my 2l 8v ADY golf? ECU number is the same apart from the B is replaced by an A on mine.

Or

Does anybody have a working 037 906 025 A ECU around or knows anybody that does?

i dunno if those are interchangeable... probably are but i think you need more than just a part# to be sure... the B means revised i guess, so chips may be different (i'll try to find out tomorrow). Depending on the year there might be some immobiliser coding to do, so you'll need your pin# and vagcom

there's an A version here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-MK3-SIEMENS-ENGINE-ECU-037-906-025-A_W0QQitemZ270277025885QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3eedc4205d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Cheers topher. I'll call the guys with the A ECU and find out if they could go down to £60 including postage, running very low on funds. If not then I guess I'll have to stretch out my legs and take the bullet 

[topher]

whats happened to your ecu?

danny_p attempted to solder the a chip in, but on the process of removing the old one he ripped 2 tracks. Many repair attempts were made but in the end the ECU was too badly damaged and the chip had ripped all the legs of one side. Was just plain bad luck

normally the letter on the end is just a revision. So it shouldnt make a difference, as said just a revised chipset. The part number is the important part.

Well I just bought the one that topher posted a link to, the correct one with correct letter. £83 lighter but at least the car will now work and should be better than ever seeing as we have fixed PAS rack and fitted new ARB bushes 

[topher]

might still have immobiliser issues when you put the new one in.. what year is your car? i had to code an ecu for a '96 last week.

[Khare]

1995. Should be fine, exact same part number and same version, not a revised one. Fingers crossed.

[Khare]

Just remembered. 96 on they are coded. The ady is 95-96, but they ain't coded from what I remember.
