Hello Ross-Tech forum,
New member here from the UK with a weird question, here goes!
I've been helping a friend who needs their instrument cluster swapped (km/h clocks to mp/h uk clocks) The car in question is a VW Polo GTi 9n3 1.8t 2007 model which I believe is immo 3, VDO clocks with a micronas cpu fitted and 93c86 eeprom.
I found a used set of clocks for him, corrected the mileage, changed immo ID, VIN and SKC to match the info I extracted from his original engine ECU. I then posted him the clocks and later found that the immobiliser kicked in. Strange as I thought I had matched the SKC's etc etc etc.
The first step of the new cluster install is to fit the replacement new or used clocks, and then click 'login' and using the SKC of the new clocks - this didn't work/wasn't accepted and because of this channel 50 showed error.
My main question is - since the SKC in the replacement clocks is the same as the one in the original ecu and also the existing km/h clocks... could this be the issue? will vcds not accept the initial login code if the code matches that of the existing setup?
I'd appreciate any help you can give! Please let me know if anything I've written doesn't make sense or i need to clear anything up.
