Will this ECU work?

I have a 2002 1.8T 5spd ECU#8E0 909 518 E and can get a 8E0 909 518 AK from a 2004 1.8T 6spd.

I would think so, the ECU in my car is from an 03' with a slightly different part # that my factory one. Keep in mind the immobilizer has to be reprogrammed for your car at the dealer, when they reprogram it for the new ECU the old one will no longer work. Also the REVO software will be put in permanent limp mode after reprogramming the immobilizer and will have to be reflashed

I can get it for a steal. VW can do the key, correct? Then I can send it and my old one to Revo. I'm sending my current one back to Revo and having the normal rev. limit BT file put back in it as a test to see if the ECU will pull fuel back. If it still won't I'm deeming the ECU bad. I also am having a issue with some hard codes that won't erase and I KNOW there isn't a issue with those circuits.

Id say its worth a try then, and I dont believe VW can recode it, I think it has to be Audi because they have to retrieve some codes/passwords something from the Audi database in order to do so

Damn, that means a trip to Tampa and about $100. You don't think it makes a difference between the 5 and 6 spd?

I dont believe so, call Chris or Robin tomorrow @ REVO and ask them, they should definitely know.

* ME-7
* Wideband
* coil pack revision

probably will need some tweaking of the ecu but otherwise fine and good to go.

If you want tapp or uni software send me a PM.

Just talked to Robin, it has to be an "E" or "F".

Chris,
The 2002 ECU is very different than any other B6. Fuel maps and fuel control is different. You need a 2002 ECU. One of the little intricacies (sp?) of the 2002 model year.
