I have more information but it may not be good. Per the factory level repair manual it appears as if this uses one of those older coding charts (like our Mk4 models) that shows part numbers in conjunction with engine codes, brake types, etc. 1C0 907 379 F is not listed with the ASV at all so it may not be correct for the current engine/trans. The only ASV brake option listed in the chart is FS-III and that combo of ESP with Rough-road suspension would be: 0019586
If that coding is accepted I would want to look at the mechanical brake (master, booster, caliper and pad/rotor) differences on each car and research in the parts catalog in addition to the repair manual to make sure the proper components are swapped. If ABS misbehaves under a panic stop it may not prevent you from crashing but when ESP misbehaves it can cause a crash IMO.
Thanks for both VINs. Per PL24 VIN decryption:
Actual car
Donor parts car (VIN in scan)
Logins for Coding aren't necessary with MK20, MK60 or MK70 but the parts car didn't have ESP so I believe that was MK60 ASR. The car in question is ESP so you may not find the proper coding value in a repair manual, or on our Wiki, if this exact combo wasn't sold anywhere in the world.
I did not dig through the repair manual yet but did you try something like 0019078 yet?
+0000518 = FN3 54 15"/16" (PR-1LE/1LJ/1LN/1LQ/1LT/1ZD/1ZE/1ZH)
+0000128 = Rough Road Suspension (PR-2UB)
+0018432 = Gasoline Engine (from 92 kW / 125 HP) & All Diesel Engines
Why doesn't anyone suggest changing ECU coding? Right now ECU is still 2WD and so does ABS think it should be coded as 2WD.
