Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

New ECU will need to be sync'd to the immobiliser.

As above, if you need a new ECU then it will need to go to a VW dealership unfortunately.Comment

Thank you guys I had a feeling this would be the case, just trying to see what options I had if any as local dealer I believe charges worse than a wounded bull.Comment

I think due to the right to repair stuff, some independents have access to GEKO and ODIS now (VWs dealer tools) might be an idea to call around and see if anyone can do it.MY12 Passat FSI Highline | 3.6L VR6 | Cashmere Brown | Driver Assistance Package | Dynaudio | Discover Media | TPMS Direct | Side Assist | Adaptive Cruise | 3D colour cluster | More coming soon

My friend paid just over $3k at Newcastle VW for a brand new ECU and for it to be coded to the car/immobiliser on a Mk5 Golf GTI. This was about 8 years ago so no doubt the cost has gone up since then.Comment

If you had a secondhand ECU a lot of tuners would have the ability to clone the original ECU. Depending on the problem with it. Otherwise, someone with ODIS should also be able to perform the same function.Comment
