    Removing Polo GTI (9N) ECU

    Hey y'all!

    Looking to send my ECU over to custom-code for a tune. I have had a good look at the ECU and will have a crack at taking it out over the weekend, but does anybody have any tips?

    It looks like I may have remove the airbox filter and/or the windscreen wipers & rain protector cover, to get it...

    thanks

    hey y'all!
    figured it out - i did have to remove the windscreen wipers, rain protector cover & airbox filter to get to the ECU, the biggest issue I had was removing the screwless bolts. The dremel didnt work for me (couldnt get enough torque) so I had to make a trip to bunnings to get rounded bolt removers.

    all good though!! nuhn!!!!!!

            I'll send you back some bolts to replace the anti-tamper ones. If find some with 10mm heads they should fit.

              ah thanks Gavin, but I actually want to get rid of the protective casing. From pictures I've seen it looks like people just ditch em. I was just curious on how they have mounted it without using the protective casing
