ABS Module Coding - 2008 4Motion Swap GTI

AlteredVista · Aug 10, 2020

I have been on a bit of a fools folly adding 4motion to my 2008 GTI. Functionally the swap is complete, and operational.
I have successfully coded the CAN Gateway for AWD and successfully completed adaption for steering angle, latitude/longitude acceleration, and brake pressure sensor.

The major remaining holdout is the ABS coding. See below for the Auto-Scan, I snipped out all the Addresses that were fine and not relevant to the swap.
I did swap in the complete ABS unit from a 2008 R32 and moved the jumper location in the 46 pin connector to match jumper location that was on the 46pin connector in the R32.

I am learning as I go here but there might be a 'long coding' component that I am overlooking for the ABS module, the generic coding: 0021128 is unchanged from when it was in the R32, and adding up all 'options' would remain the same value for the GTI.
I read in a thread here about re-coding with the same code to see if that would address the fault but even after a 'coding accepted' message the fault remains.

Additionally, I have not been able to adapt the proper coding to Address 01: Engine, Current:0403010818070160, attempted:04030108180F0160. Returns an Error 31: Out of range.

Any help or tips on where to work from here would be greatly appreciated. I will be happy to provide any other additional information or data captures needed.

There are some other faults shown in the Auto-Scan provided; system voltage, immobilizer, and fuel level sensor. I don't want to get into the weeds in this thread, I am mostly concerned about the ABS and Engine coding for now.
I think the voltage fault is a holdover from a dead battery and I have a plan for the fuel level sensor. Still don't know much about the immobilizer error as the car starts and runs fine. I didn't change anything with the cluster but I did have it pulled from the car while wiring into the plug for the secondary fuel sender.

I'd like to see the FULL autoscan - more for interest than anything

Is the car drivable currently? It runs OK?

I see the immo fault code... which is a little weird! Have you had the immo disabled, or maybe is that related to the ABS type change?

The ABS code for incorrectly coded/mechanical failure - I think that is related to a mismatch between coding and the wiring jumpers in the plug - Perhaps the GTI not coming with 345mm discs (17") means it should NOT be wired like the R32, and should is fact be jumpered for 312mm (16")???

Having said that, I have a 2006 Euro Golf R32 ecu in myTouran, with 312mm discs and the ABS is wired for 16"/312mm fronts (link) I have the same ABS as you. but with the R32 engine also, in a chassis it never came in, and 4motion that never came in the chassis

Do you have a scan from your car BEFORE you went mental on it? It should have had MK60 EC1, where you've changed "back" to MK60.

I don't know how much I can help. but I like how "special" you are - like me

Car runs good and is drivable, I have put nearly 50 miles on it already

I have swapped over the 17" brakes from the R32 as well. I had a totaled donor and took full advantage haha.

Not sure if I have a full scan or not, I didn't intentionally take one prior to the Frankenstein operation.

Thanks for the support! Its funny when I describe what I am doing/have done and people ask the inevitable "But why?". I found myself struggling for a good answer the first couple times.

Hahaha! I get that ALL the time! :thumbs:

Glad to hear it actually runs :cool:

Well done!

If it were mine, first I'd double-check the ABS jumper wires, then change it to the 16" type and see what happens.

Did you get to drive the donor prior to desecrating it?

Perhaps the ABS already had a fault?
