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

[@marcusbarrett9813]

Hey there! I know this may be an older video but this really helped me out. I had a dead ecu with no communication whatsoever so I couldn’t even retrieve the information to adapt a new one. This worked. Extremely grateful for the video!

[@FixedUntilBroken]

I'm glad it helped! It's always satisfying to see these older videos still be relevant!

[@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

[@anomiaou6501]

Did it work ?

[@bobirving6052]

Cool stuff. Glad you showed it real and how to get it back right.

[@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

[@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.

[@XYZ56771]

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

[@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.

[@bobirving6052]

Wow. A bad battery caused the ecu to fail?!

[@IGETAROUND.M.A.T.]

You definitely have a follower in me...

[@sk8tnrules]

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

[@IGETAROUND.M.A.T.]

My ecu is the same on outside but a lil different on inside so I'm lost as to which one is the immobilizer eprom.

[@alexanderorozco661]

Thank you. For your tutorial 💯

[@pedroteixeira6738]

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

[@sollykhan2385]

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

[@ke-jetronikkyrgyzstan5927]

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

[@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.

[@anomiaou6501]

Did you Programmed it ?

[@IGETAROUND.M.A.T.]

Question if you ever see this comment. Will changing that on the ecu make the used "replaced ecu" start right up?

[@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?

[@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!

[@trevorhutchinsth]

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

[@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

[@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 !

[@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

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.

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.

[@sollykhan2385]

if you're still experiencing problems, then post a message back to> [e-mail] and give as much info as possible to me, incl the Vin number, any stored 'dtc's ' and what problems your experiencing? 🙂

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.

[@eurowerx4267]

Couldn’t you have just read the chip and wrote over the donor modules chip?

[@FixedUntilBroken]

yes, and youtube already had videos on how to do that. I wanted to show another way that didn't require reading/writing the EEPROM. I believe I mentioned that but it is an older video of mine so I don't remember for sure.

[@samymahmoudibouziani9591]

But u can do immobiliser adaptaion without remove anything from ECU

[@sk8tnrules]

How?

[@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.

[@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.

@@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)

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

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
