Hi there, I personally don't know about your issue but have you had a look in the 1000 how to faq and index. There's a section in there on immobilizer stuff, recoding keys etc. When I got my Seat tdi, the ecu was manked with water and gunge but luckily a good clean, thorough dry and some waterproofing cured my woes. Anyway good luck with it.
Newb saying 'hello'
Hello fellow darkside owners.
I'm Foxy from the UK.........its been about cars since I can remember.
Had all the Golf marques - (not a mk6 yet) and many many other makes and models too.
Probably 40+ cars now between myself and Mrs F.... and we were born mid 1960s!
I have been on UK-MKIVs scene since 2002 and driven the hallowed Nurburgring in my modded Mk5 Golf three times.
I currently have a Skoda Octavia VRS 2007 170bhp TDi........totally standard.
In the sideline I have a 2008 VW Jetta to replace it.
( I have a t4 van with 1.9Tdi conversion and Mk2 Golf GTi 1989 to keep me busy too!)
The issue is with the jetta.
The ECU got ruined when a small "overheating" issue fried some wiring - it got rather warm and then wet.
It also damaged the clocks (instruments) which show a permanent short fault on fuel sender (on vag-com).
The fuel gauge and external temperature sensor now dont work.
I need to replace ECU and clocks from a similar donor car which I have indeed tracked down.
Trouble is, the donor set has no keys.
I am sure I can pull the SKC off the ECU/clocks in order to programme a virgin transponder chip.
Can anyone "chip" in !!?
