Is The Engine Ecu Coded To The Key

[hotwheels]

Hi all been away from vdubs for a while missed myT5 ever since selling it some 7 years ago so just bought an accident damaged T6 to fix up. The engine ecu has been nicked off it while it's been parked up so the big question is can I just buy a new one and fit it or does it need to be coded in. thanks

Key, Dash clocks & engine ECU are all part of the immobilizer/security system.

whatever you get will need coding in AFAIK

tanks for the reply anyone know if its a plug in job on the drive or more involved. I have seen some complete ecu and lock sets for sale pulling it apart and rebuilding things no problem. coding things in thas a different game
