Any noticeable vibrations? Does it sound rough?

I don't think there would be any issues from an ECU perspective, but how are you going to wire it in? Do you have the right looms?

I had it beep once or twice on my SDI. Usually right on starting the car for some reason (oil was never low). Never stayed on though. @mattarosahad a Lupo 1.0 which had it intermittently for a while without engine failure. Maybe a dodgy design?

Uhh, effort. Fine. Got some VHT in the garage anyway.

Brother in law has been borrowing my GTI and got it MOTd. They said it needed a new rear caliper but the caliper they've installed is silver. Do aftermarket parts come on silver or is this likely the wrong caliper?

That sounds like the kind of energy a radio might pull if it was wired up wrong.

Still for sale ?

You could do with the immo code but I don't think it's needed if you have the original key. What ECU is it?

You're going to need to pair it with your immobilizer. Ross tech have a guide, it's not madly complicated.

It almost certainly isn't blown. Your car just didn't come with one.

I don't think you can reset to a specific value without actually changing the interval. You can use VCDS to reset the service interval.

Do you have the bonnet release handle?

No. I didn't use a device. I extracted the pin.

I tested my method on a Polo 6N2 GTI. Friend of @mattarosa it still took me about 20-30 mins. No reprogramming of the EEPROM involved, just obtained the SKC and entered through the front door. So even for someone who knows how, it's not like a rapid hot wire job. Now.... The Audi and Jetta? Different story. For the Audi, I was able to obtain the SKC in a matter of seconds using a £5 'specialist. cable.... Which I found out really quickly is just a bog standard KKL cable they sell on eBay. New key took me no more than 5 mins, sat on the drivers seat. All very comfortable. The Jetta, I bought myself a key cloning device called Xhorse. A local shop quoted me £80. This device was £100 delivered. There's nothing like DIY plus you get to keep the tool of evil. It took less than 5 mins to clone the key lol.

Do 1.4 16V's have relay 109?
