GTI Polo Immobiliser Issue

Post by andrew.graham »

Hello guys, I'm in the process of converting my 1.0litre to a 1.6 Gti engine out of a polo. Joining the dark side!

Theres a fault code with the immobiliser coming up and the car starts up for a second then cuts out.

VCDS says it's fault code 17978.

Immobiliser in the key has been swapped, control unit and im using the polo dials so it's leaving me think there's a power fault with the ecu.

Does anybody have a diagram which shows which ecu pins need 12 volts going into them? Even a list? I have one for my lupo ecu from auto data but there's none for the gti polo.

Any help would be much appreciated lads!

Can you talk to the immobiliser unit via VCDS?
