ABS ECU - 8v / 16v the same?

[iyrix]

Hey Guys,

I think i need to replace the ABS ECU, but i cant work out if i can get any ECU from any GTI. 

The one i have is model number:- 3A0 907 379 E

I found a few on ebay but hey are all just listing 3A0 907 379. 

Does anyone know what i can use?

Cheers

16v / VR6 is different from threads I have read.

i cant work out if my car has ABS + EDS, but i have no idea what EDS is...

[Screech16v]

I think its EDL  on the 16v/vr6 designed to reduce wheel spin by applying braking to the wheel losing traction which is controlled by the ABS module, so will need to get the correct module as 8v doesnt have this and 16v is different from the vr6 module

is EDL the same as EDS? 

[Screech16v]

Never heard of EDS ,EDL stands for electronic diff lock should imagine they are the same thing though

[iyrix]

yeah, think they are.  I was just getting that info from ETKA

Ok, so how will i know if my car has EDL?

Its a 97 GTI 16v
Cheers

Hi mate sorry to jump in your post but im after same sort of info as im throwing up codes all over my abs system basically codes indicate
1.abs pump isn't working
2.all wheel sensors are not working
so im guessing my ecu maybe fried aswell and mines a 97 R reg abf aswell so i will be watching this post for answers 
what makes you think its your ecu gone btw ? im hopeing its not my pump as thats a bleeding job etc 

[Screech16v]

Mines a 97 16v and it does have EDL ,think all valvers of this age have it ,although mines not working at the mo due to a wheel sensor that needs replacing ha, :grin
Dragongreen ,sounds like your module is buggered,pretty unlikley all sensors and pump have gone at the same time

Im not sure, basically some of the faults that i have change.  so that leads me towards the ECU.

But finding out which ECU i need is a pain.
