VW Used ECU Security Setup, Free No programming. Jetta, Golf and Beetle

[@erickpena1674]

Thanks a lot i am a diesel Mechanic and i have my shop here in Colorado and with this video i can fix a Jetta 2002 thanks

[@XYZ56771]

Your explanation is very attractive. I've subscribed for this. Thank you!

[@d3w4yn3]

You are a mad genius. I hope you are getting paid very well to do what you do!!! You've just saved me a huge repair bill! I'm going to be doing this to replace the ECU on my Daughter's 2002 VW Beetle. Will let you know if it works! And if I don't burn down my house doing it!

[@sollykhan2385]

is your house still intact, after that rework on your VW Beetle ?🙂

[@jasonhernandez7459]

But otherwise thank you good video

[@JeezeOK]

Interesting video. We're having issues with a 2013 beetle and found out it has a Tricore ECU. Basically, it has a processor with the eeprom built in. It is a 176 pin CPU so swapping it out could be done but not for the faint of heart. A new battery turned out to be bad and never set any lights or codes till the car ran bad. then a bunch of sensors were reading odd. This happened after 2 weeks of driving on the new battery. The problems required a reset and a new battery. The dealer said we needed a new ECU. That's what took us in the ECU direction. Anyways, Folks, check to see what kind of eeprom is in the car to make sure you can move it.

[@alexanderorozco661]

Thank you. For your tutorial 💯

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Back by popular demand, Automotive circuit boards! Hope you like. Btw that cut at about the 2 min mark was cutting out a long unneeded explanation of what that chip does. The TLDR of that chip is it interfaces the microcontroller with a few of the outputs of the ecu.

[@SomeTeemo]

Could have absolutely left it in I would've loved to know more about what the chip does! Is it JUST the immobilizer data or are there other elements? Great video though. Considering doing this with my a4 ecu that's going bad, just got IPC certified, might be a fun project.

[@FixedUntilBroken]

@@SomeTeemo I work at an iso9001/as9100 facility. All of our assemblers are IPC certified. (I am not because I am an engineering technician). Those assemblers can put my solder work to shame. I thought I was pretty good until I started working there. You can't tell the difference between the wave solder machine and the assembler rework for some of them.

[@sollykhan2385]

AWESOME, Video, Thank you for your kind effort by sharing your knowledge, well appreciated man, Bless 🙂😇

[@sk8tnrules]

This is a great video, thank you for your advice. Does this modification work on a VW Jetta 2016?

[@andreiciora2765]

Great video , it is very informativ . Hope to keep making amazing videous . I wish you good luck

[@pedroteixeira6738]

Hello, Great video. What's the size and pitch thread of 4 ecu case bolts? Thank you

[@tashadl]

When changing on the ECM on a Jetta GLI do I need a program and play. I noticed some are programmed which are more expensive and others are not.

[@fumanseano2846]

I'm having an ecm issue. My car won't start only in the mornings. In the afternoon or evening, I have no issues. I have to disconnect my battery in the a.m. for a few minutes and it will start, but my tach, speedo, temp, and fuel gauges don't work. I'm thinking it's something to do with condensation, as I live in humid central FL. I'm getting engine codes UO146 and UO155. Anything I can try that you can think of? I really can't afford to replace it. Thanks! And I really enjoy the videos!

[@ke-jetronikkyrgyzstan5927]

Hello! Do i just need change the chip? Checksums sre not needed?

[@michaelhopwood1022]

Have you had any luck dumping the rom and flashing it to a new board opposed to removing it and swapping it around physically?

[@IssaJakob]

Hey man, thank you for this video. Wondering if you'd know if i swap the chip from a immobilizer defeated ecu into one that isn't will it work? Ive got a 2001 vw jetta vr6 auto with a ecu thats defeated and doing a manual engine harness swap and I'd like to swap the chips instead of spending $100 getting it done again. Thank you if you know !

[@2CENT14]

Can I use a tuned 1.8t ecu in my 1.9tdi?

[@Schnippen_Schnappen1]

Can’t you program immobilizer with vw software or vcds?

[@trevorhutchinsth]

Hi .. do you know the simos vw ecu bme engine ? Which power supplies are permanent for memory

[@mmarconi6346]

Does it wotk on Škoda Octavia 2017?it's pretty much Golf.

[@FLBRGZ]

I have a mk5 golf with and intermittent power fault when starting the car. I think it will be a dry solder join on the board. Have you ever fixed any of these faults, thinking about pulling the back off it and re soldering it. Have you every fixed any faults for the connector pins

[@masonpugh3637]

Can't you change ecm out of same style car cabrio same year in junk y

[@doubl33Ace]

What year was this pcm from? Will this method work on 2011 VW golf gti?

[@salahjabbar6199]

I have a 2011 jetta 2.5 that keeps shutting off while driving. Can you help me out

[@kidvis2679]

A chunk of the bmw and mercedes ECU's can be done similarly

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Nice. If I get the opportunity to do one, I will make a video.

[@kidvis2679]

@@FixedUntilBroken last ones I had to do and can verify was a bmw e39 ECU with a burnt injector circuit and a mercedes w220 shifter assembly where the shifter also has a security chip (very stupid)

[@ecurepair]

@@kidvis2679 The w220s use the shifter instead of an ESL. Pretty standard as far as security goes.

[@kidvis2679]

It all depends on the w220. The early production is plug and play, but the later run production w220 uses the security chip in the shifter

[@kidvis2679]

Anybody in our group programming EZS/EIS?

[@AmperaService]

I just use carprog to read and write eeprom data without solder/desolder

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Thanks for the heads up I don't have that tool. Yes of course that is valid way of doing it. This video is meant to be a DIY approach though.

[@LEMs515]

Hi! My r32 mk5 ecu is broken, do i need the same exact model of ecu or the golf mk5 ecu works if i use for replacement. Pls advice. I have misfire on cylinder 6 thanks in advance

[@hyper-amps1684]

Where in Florida are you I have one from a 2010 vw jetta 2.0 bought one with the same part number, is all you have to do? Replace it for the key to work?

[@samymahmoudibouziani9591]

But u can do immobiliser adaptaion without remove anything from ECU

[@sk8tnrules]

How?

[@domsta2008]

Hey mate will this work on edc17c46?

[@hilalaiss]

Do you do DPF delete and tune ?

[@FixedUntilBroken]

No I actually don't offer ecu tuning. I just did video so others can DIY this repair

Question : can I replace my ECM with a different Part Number My ECM 8U0 907 115K REPLACEMET 8U0 907 115 L

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Not sure. I'm not a VW expert or mechanic at all. I normally don't try to swap part numbers

[@josephricher5257]

My non VW dealership mechanic swapped out my bad ECU for a used one. As far as I can tell, everything works, EXCEPT my key fobs. Any suggestions as to why that might be or I can do to fix that?

[@sollykhan2385]

Did you get your fob's working ? what year is your car ? there is a certain procedure that you need to follow, however, if he only swopped the ecu, you may need to change the 'Body control module' or relearn the data from the older system and recode the BCM, post back a reply if you're still experiencing problems ? 🙂

[@josephricher5257]

@@sollykhan2385 I had to go to VW to reprogram it. In the end all in, I paid about the same as if I had bought a new one directly from VW. Some settings are now a bit off, but some for the good, some for the bad. For example, now when I slide my hand in the handle all doors unlock, rather than just the door I am opening. that is good for me.

[@2doo554]

Hi. I want to ask you if it is normal for the injectors to pulse when the key is in contact (I specify that the engine is not started) I think it could be from the ECU

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Sorry not really sure. I'm not a mechanic, I just fix circuit boards

[@2doo554]

@@FixedUntilBroken I think this problem is caused by the ecu, not the mechanical part

[@FixedUntilBroken]

@@2doo554 yeah but I'm saying I don't really know how it's supposed to work in the car. Mechanic says it's not doing x in the car I go trace that circuit and fix it. I don't actually need to know the normal operation of a part to fix it. Like for example ecu has no injector drive I'd look for the fets that drive that circuit and test them. In your case unless they are just 100% duty cycle on all the time than I'm not sure where to start. I'd imagine it's not supposed to inject without any cam/crank movement but again I don't really know what normal operation is for this but a vw mechanic would know.

I'm about to do the same and save a couple of hundred euros. Do I need a heat gun to remove little EPROM or you think a solder will do but without damaging.
