Hello everyone,
I'm new to ross-tech forum and I salute you all . I've recently purchased the VCDS cable (3 VINs) and I want to start to fix the car myself.
My car is VW Passat 2.0 Bluemotion 2011 estate.
Recently I had an issue with the ECU and it couldn't be recovered - completely dead. I've changed it with a similar one from a damaged car. The guy who help me took the immo off and so the car is working again.
Now my question is how should I use the new cable to register the VIN? The new ECU has a different VIN number than my car. Do i need to register the donor car VIN number and then change it with my car's one in the ECU? This way I will use 2 out of my 3 available VINs. Is it possible to recover one of the VINs ?
Thank you,
Alex
