2005 VW GTI 1.8t Engine Swap Problem with immobilizer - Just did an engine swap and I went to start car and nothing but security light - I then swapped out the ecu using the one from my new engine and still nothing - I read that there is communication between the ecu and dash cluster so I swapped that out as well and now it starts up and then shuts back off with the security light on dash - I was told there is a bcm or comfort controller under the steering wheel so I swapped that out and same thing start and then shuts off - Not sure what to do now was thinking maybe pay a locksmith to sync key but no one does it around my area...Is there anything I can do to bypass or swap out to get past this? Any help is much appreciated

TSBs Where are they all?

I am looking all over for Technical Service Bulletins, particularly Bulletin #01-17-05. Searching this site yields nothing (zero) every time. Searching with google leads to anywhere but. Please suggest! Thanks, Rich.

Is there a way to see new threads ?

Hello. As I will be spending more time here with passatworld's new forum format not really to my liking, I would like to log in and see all new threads/posts since my last visit. I can't seem to figure out how to do this, if possible. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks.

What’s up
I’m i_got_tacos on Instagram
I’ve been on audizine for years
I am the driver of Trouble she’s a heavily modified stage ? Was three in 2005 when I first built her but that was many more upgrades ago
Last dyno was 638hp @7,900rpm I want 8 before the 250 shot I use when I just don’t know what they really got
I’ve had a couple 2.7’s that I stk of my own makings
I just did my third Cummins 500+hp now I have to do a transmission 😶
So since I can’t seem to ever keep my hands off what is just fine I picked up a casa 2998 a4 mt Quattro aeb engine body is actually decent just need a touch here and there , last 1.8 I’ve owned was my 1985 Jetta back in 92
I’ve had so much sir cooled run through my life I wouldn’t know what to tell you on that part

My eyes were opened to Audi because of the b series rally and my life was changed in late 1999 when I used to go street racing in Ontario California looking for street bikes that thought they had something
I was in Gen my 1958 beatle stripped out 1,900# car with a 2332 t3t4 ballistic turbo and throttle body injection (she was quick light to light or 1000 ft was what they usually ran in the wear house district
I lost second gear the first run of the night so I was sitting watching the rest of the night
Near the end a kid in a silver a4 tip lol with a v6 he was in a nice suit couldn’t have been 21 yet and had just bought it a few hours ago said it was the first s- something they sold in the L.A. area and who was the fastest import tonight a couple guys spoke up about this dude in a s2000 almost brand new that had oodles of work done I think he became the Asian dude on fast and furious anyway they lined up as a fun run
Light flashed and they took off almost the same moment looked the same to the eye . All you could hear was the Honda and the s2000 did win they said by a bumper
For me that was it if they made one in a manual I was going to get it and touch it here and there
To my surprise when I contacted a dealer the next day there was no possible way I could afford one of these new s4 a4’s at $60,000 fml
Early 2005 I got Trouble and I’ve had many others too but Trouble is mine always
I would still have Gen in the family but she was stolen in 2001 and never seen again
Anyway that’s my short intro
Thanks for accepting my account and I hope to learn and help others

Hello From FL, 2016 e-Golf owner

Hello From FL, new to the forum and have an e-Golf. Yeah they didn't sell in FL but eventually some of those made their way down here. I bought this car last month and it drives great. There were some charging issues and now it is being serviced. I'll know soon how that goes.

 

[R3project cars]

Hey all another exciting project I just picked up a 2001 Jetta glx v6 new to the vw side but can not wait to get started . I am in Fayetteville, Tennessee looking for people near by to chat with to figure out the good and bad . The car is missing a lot parts and I would like to know any suggestions in areas around medieval them.
I look forward to all your knowledge and help you can give me Thank you

Hello,

New member here. I always lurk the forums for DIY, mods, cool pics, information etc. First time I've joined. Really trying to stay away from the big social media apps lately just due to the political climate.

I have a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDI with dsg. Reflex silver with black interior. Took some time, but this car has grown on me. Look forward to meeting some people on here with more experience than me.

I'm more of an "aesthetics" car guy, with minimal performance mods. I'll play around with different looks til I find the one I like best. OEM, with a little extra.

Anyways, here is some photos of my car. With some of the few mods I have left on. I am constantly changing things around.

Hello all, newbie to this site, not to forums.

Owned my one and only VW from 1997-2001, a 1984 Rabbit GTI silver with blue interior, awesome car! Was my first German car and fell in love, have owned many BMW's and Porsche since.

Joined the Vortex now because I'll take delivery of my second VW this week, an '83 Rabbit GTI, silver with blue interior! Same car I had over 20 years ago. Only difference is this one has no sunroof.

Hope to meet some fellow enthusiasts and find some parts, as you can see it needs lots of TLC

Cheers!

Hi Everybody,

I have just joined the club - Have had 7 diesels Rabbits/Jettas since 1983 with most getting over 250,000 mi before dying of rust, automatic transmission (yes, that one), and one accident.

I thank all the people that gave me a lot of advice over the years,

Ciao from Saint Maurice, QC and Portland, ME

hi all just got a 2009 sportjetta and love all the information here! This is a great resource thanks for setting it all up!

 

[milodub]

Found this thread in trying to search for why I couldn't reply or PM someone re. an ad. Nowhere in the FAQ does it explain you apparently need to post at least 10 times before you can act on ads, etc. I was a member back on 2015 and was just a watcher. So, after reading other new member's posts, I finally figured it out . . . not quite user friendly though -- perhaps by design to defeat the scammers.

 

[djfaka]

I agree. It was a little challenging getting here and the posting rules weren't that clear, maybe the new member forum section could be placed higher in the forum tier

 

[ProfessorFate]

Hey all,
New member, long time browser. Really glad to be here, and I hope to get an R32 soon so I can join the club!

 

[pcmartin]

Welcome Professor Fate. I'm a new member too. Just got a 2012 TTRS. Yes, it could be easier to get started.

 

[pcmartin]

My previous car was a 2006 WRX wagon with lots of mods for track runs with Audi Club Northwest. That ran for about 10 years of fun but the second oil starvation event chilled my enthusiasm for that approach so I switched...to a mint 2012 TTRS. Hopefully fewer mods and better longevity.
