Hello,
We are getting the below codes on a 2016 Golf R; car drives and shifts fine but launch control can't be used. The car was running fine for a long time and then the codes appeared. Clutches were changed and the basic settings done, but the codes are still present. We suspected the mechatronic so we removed it from the 2016 R and put the mechatronic into a perfectly running 2016 Golf R with matching mechatronic, gearbox and even coding numbers. The 2015 Golf R that was running fine doesn't allow any gear to be engaged after the mechatronic swap. Do we need a HEX+NET cable instead of the HEX+CAN we are using?
As another experiment we installed the perfectly working mechatronic of the 2015 Golf R into the 2016 Golf R, expecting it to allow launch control. VCDS gives a P1701 code that says the auto trans ECU is "locked". Do we need special procedure or HEX+NET (other than available on the Ross Tech website for 02E mechatronic coding) in order to get this mechatronic "unlocked"?
In summary, do we need a HEX+NET to code mk7 R mechatronics?
Thanks in advance
