Hello RossTechies!
I beg you for some insight and advice! I have a 2007 VW Eos and I suddenly got an airbag light that can’t be cleared. The car has not been in an accident. This appears to be a random failure. The fault code is:
00003 - Control Module
014 - Defective - MIL ON
Apparently the module is toast. I called the VW dealer in Austin, Tx and they said there is no airbag module available for this VIN in US or Canada. He said it could be a year or more before a replacement is found or manufactured. I would have to pay $600 in advance and later a few hundred more for coding. Not cool.
As I understand these modules have a Part Number but also a hidden index number (aka color code) with about a hundred variations. Thus, finding a used one with the right part number isn’t sufficient; it also must have the right index number. I read somewhere that this index number is written on the box when you buy a new module from the dealer. I also read on forums that a new or used airbag module must also be VIN coded by the dealer. I have a few questions and I really appreciate your thoughts:
1. Given a new module isn’t available, if I buy a used module on Ebay and the index code doesn’t match the one on my module, but it did come off of another 2007 Eos is there any way to make it work on my car?
2. My part number is 1Q0-959-655-A, but what is my index code? Autoscan attached.
3. Can the index code be changed by a dealer or third party or is it tied to the hardware in permanent way?
4. Is VIN coding the same as setting the index code, or are these completely separate things?
5. Can VIN coding be performed in VCDS? Is it through the adaptation option?
6. When I search VWPartsCenter.net there are a bunch of part numbers that supposedly replaced my part number 1Q0-959-655-A. Is that right? Will these replacements actually work? See screenshot below.
Thank you all so so much for any assistance!
Note: The driver's side igniter fault occasionally comes on calling out a resistance is too high. I would erase it and go on until it greeted me again. I know about the connector under the seat, but that's already been removed. It hadn't come on in a few months and then all of a sudden I got the hole module defective hard fault.
