Here we go then - please read the very top line 'it worked on mine doesnt mean it will work for you' sorry had to say that so the buck doesnt stop with me. This is a link to Ross tech site in USA for immobiliser reprograming. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/immobilizer2.htm Hope this helps.... Regards. Si

Just an update for all interested. Car seems to be running ok now, and original ecu has been sent away for testing so will report on the finding when i know. ECU based immobiliser is reprogrammable via vag com, and takes about 20 seconds to do. I have thread details if anyone wants/has to do it. Regards. Si

Hi folks, Just an update on the car. Aquired an ecu, reprogrammed the immobiliser in the ecu, and off she went....For the moment..... I spoke to stealth which was enlightening, suffice to say i will be going there in a couple of months for another remap! Oh and i now have belt and braces - AA Breakdown cover!!! Bet it wont miss abeat now. Thanks for all the help everyone. Regards Si.

Thanks for the replies folks.... Wanted your oppions before i told you that i thought it was an ecu problem. I have a known good ecu coming tomoz so will plug it in and try. As far as the map, well i know alot of people slate superchips but the map in it is ALL GOOD, the guy who mapped it put the corrado map in mine because the 'standard' golf map didnt have enuff fuel for my car at the top end, so thats why i have a corrado map. Its a shame as this will be the second ecu in 3 yrs. When i got the car it was a bit flat, after alot of time on the rollers it was traced to faulty embedded code in

Hello there, just after someone shedding a little light on my problem Right then this all started about 8 months ago, took my '97 golf vr6 to the body shop to get the sill welded for the mot. Had the work done but the car wouldnt start at the body shop, tried vag com, but it wouldnt communicate. Towed the car home, eventuall took the ecu out and checked feeds & earths all ok. Pluged the ecu back in fired up and checked vag com again, communicated fine and no logged faults. So then we move on several months, the car refuses to start again, take battery neg terminal off for 30 mins and reco

Hi folks, Will try and make this if at all possible, havent been around for a while due to work / family / new home comitments.

I saw something on vw vortex. Put in a plastic bag with IPA and shake, allow to dry naturally. Dont take my word for it have a look yourself. This is a quote from the site have a look yourself it is in the tech section under the 12V vr6 bit, FAQ's near the bottom. Quote: How do I clean out my mass air flow sensor? Take the large Ziploc bag and place the MAF sensor in it. Pour enough Isopropyl alcohol into the bag to completely cover the MAF sensor. Gently shake the bag to allow the alcohol to pass through the sensor. Take the MAF sensor out and let the excess alcohol drip off. Set the MAF sen

Oh SH*T x) My bowels have just loosened! I dont like the sound of that! Any more offers? S %-6

Hi Just a quick one that hopefully someone knows the answer to! The car is a '97 with 51K on the clock. In the past couple of weeks i have noticed that when i sit in the car after the engine has been switched off i can hear gurgling noises from the cooling system, thought it was an airlock, tried that but no different, any ideas? It doesnt seem to be using water and is running sweet. Help. S
