VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hi mate, assume you've had it on the VAG-COM and you have a fault code 01177 which relates to "Engine control unit not matched. W wire between control units is OK". To match the ECU, insert the authorized ignition key into the lock and switch on the ignition. Select the immobiliser (address 25) and select Adaptation (group 10). Enter channel 0 (or 00) and select save. Exit the immobiliser address and turn off the ignition, then the car should be able to start. There are also other articles available from http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer#Immobilizer_Generation_1 sometimes its just a case of a little WD 40 on the connectors to the coil that goes around the ignition barrel to the immob ECU, if none of the above works, then i'm afraid you'll need to get whats known as a "imobiliser delete" from the likes of Stealth Racing to get around this very common problem.Pete Link to post Share on other sites
