raining Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 A friend has the above car and went to release the bonnet with the lever by the door but caught something just up from the lever with the fingers and a box with lots of wiring about 5 in square. no visible numbers and looks heavy duty has dropped down, some have called it a footwell module but am unable to verify, others an ECU...but can't find anything about remove or replace and not knowing what something is makes a google search difficult Trying to put it back to wherever it came from is nigh impossible as no idea what it is. There don't seem to be any fixing points. Another friend had a go but was afraid of damaging the wiring. Any pointers gratefully received. I did post on here a few years ago but old profile has gone due to new computer.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Tracker, probably connected to the light switch as a power source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raining Posted May 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks, but far too large to be a tracker (I think). It's about 130mm square and 300mm thick. block of wires gointo caramel socket on top of the box but hard to get a good look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR5V Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Any chance of a picture? What happens if you unplug it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raining Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 I should be able to post one in a day or so, I wouldn't want to unplug it as it's so inaccessible I might not be able to get it back in. I've read somewhere the Polo is the same..in the meantime this looks like the box but I can't figure out from the instructions how you put it back.. https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/diy-do-yourself/169586-vw-polo-diy-upgrading-bcm-body-control-module.html According to this the ECU is in the engine compartment..
