Davehillbo Posted May 31, 2018 Report Posted May 31, 2018 Hi all, I have the galaxy 2.8 v6, was wondering how one changes the autobox ECU. Ive come to the conclusion its buggered as I cannot connect to it via VCDS and EML light is on. Drives fine otherwise. Ta in advance.David Quote
gregers Posted May 31, 2018 Report Posted May 31, 2018 i seem to think it wont connect vcds as its a proper ford.unlike the tdis. Quote
sparky Paul Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 I'm not sure about that, I thought it was basically the same Jatco box fitted to the TDI... then again, I might be completely wrong. It might be worth checking the connectors and wiring loom around the gearbox, they are known to give problems, and could conceivably give diagnostic connection issues. Quote
Davehillbo Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Posted June 1, 2018 Bought a replacement ECU off ebay, EML now off, smooth gear shifts with no clunking into gear. Best £40 ive ever spent haha. Quote
BrianH Posted June 1, 2018 Report Posted June 1, 2018 Good stuff, but would be useful to know if vcds now works to speak to the gearbox? Quote
Davehillbo Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Posted June 2, 2018 Yes it does. Standard VW autobox ECU. All the autobox controllers are. Quote
gregers Posted June 2, 2018 Report Posted June 2, 2018 thats good to know,good job getting it sorted. Quote
Davehillbo Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Posted June 3, 2018 I was thinking it was going to be an autobox fault and cost me a grand or so, only clicked when vcds would not connect to the autobox ECU. Quote
