Update. No amount of coding or computer trickery would make the last TCM work. I searched for months to find a s/h one with the right code but no luck, so in the end with nothing to loose I decided to fix the old wet one myself :-o 3 hours of electrosurgery later I had replaced the corroded connecti...

Based on a 2003 Passat, here are some screenshots of the parts listings for the auto transmission control units. As you will see, 3B0927156S, is for use with the 5 speed auto box when fitted to a car built in Eurpoe, with 2WD and engine code AVF. at1.png at2.png at3.png Cheers for that. So, the TCM...

If only you'd posted earlier
Ah well I'll be advertising it back on fleabay

Help again please guys. Had the car plugged into Vcds thingy by a good mate. All faults cleared EXCEPT the TCM is said to be incompatible
So can this be "coded" to the car or is the last letter on the module more important than I've been led to believe?

I know it has ESP don't know what ASR is though

Right oh, I've just installed a replacement TCM from ebay ;) Same part number except for the last letter. Fired up the old oil burner and went for a spin. Gears are changing but the dash has lit up like a christmas tree. ABS, AIR BAG, orange triangle one I know not what it means :hyst The PRND432 ar...

Ah that's good news. I'll resume my e shopping. Cheers ;)

Hi thanks for the eBay links. That was my first call but not finding a match anywhere ? Do you know what the S suffix is all about ? Don't fancy a 60 quid experiment

Found out my TCM has been resting in a cold bath for some time. Blasted thing flooded and giised
WANTED one dry TCM to suit 1.9 auto.
Part number 3B0 927 156 S
Thankyouplease

oh right, do you have a link for the other socket and the dac? thanks The socket linked to in the original post is very small and as such very sensetive to over heating on the soldering front. Basically the plastic casing can melt, esp if you solder like me :roll: Anyway, because I'm a cheap charli...

I was shocked when I insured my 5.5 it's crazy money. 130 bhp is hardly a power house ! Did all the comparison stuff and got a reasonable deal in the end but still high. Just taken it off the road and put on a Merc SLK and that's much cheaper ??? oh and considerably more powerful ;)

When I first did the mod using the same 3.5 socket as the OP it was pretty rubbish.I bought a better quality socket £14 better, and hey presto no background noise. Signal is low mind so I use a small DAC and that brings the level up to almost CD volume

Spray job done :mrgreen: Didn't come out too bad considering pattern wings and my ham fisted body work skills B) http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/daudwpsyn/20170311_212405_zpsfjjpvcan.jpg Need to find a nice Polish man to do some polishing now though B-) http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv3...

Yerp it still clunks but not the end of the world. I did do a fluid change and new filter but no change. If it clunks now I just switch it off and on again :hyst Very pleased with the old girl though, as we've just done a 2000 mile round trip to the Alps. 4 up and rammed with luggage, enthusiastical...

Got a few wires and that connected up at last. Still waiting for one of those funky sensors to arrive though. Eye, eye. :mrgreen: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/daudwpsyn/20170214_132945_zpso6pwh87o.jpg When I get the sensor it detects the voltage rise from the alt and turns on the DRLs , t...

Well I tried walking the wheel but to no avail X( So I decided to go in heavy :twisted: Yep that fixed :wink: http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv36/daudwpsyn/20170215_144721_zpssw3cocff.jpg Still not 100% sure what the issue actually was but at last I got to the hub of the issue with a firkin' gre...

Good job , looks cool. I fancy one for my saloon now

Ah ha,cheers for that I'm so going to break in there

Yep that's where I'm at but can't for the life of me see what bit in there will open the door :/ The door latch lever is operating but not releasing anything ?

say what now ???

IF I can actually open the sodding door I'll be away

No time for fleabay need it done tomorrow really as we're off up the Alps on friday . Still got auto box sensor to sort too

What an absolute be-atch
Just spent 3 hours on the ruddy thing and still not got the door open
I'll be up the scrap yard tomorrow and try and get a new door lock mech etc before I give this one a terminal twatting with Mr hammer

Thanks for your concerns chaps. I'm more than happy changing my oil and spannering into the small hours. However I've never read or mapped an ECU lol The nice people at Blacksmoke seem to suggest using their map is fine and dandy, it's just my lack of experience on such things prompted my post here ...
