Knock the venus flytrap ends off of the center cowl drains and keep the schmoo out of the cowl. Why IMMO delete? And IMMO hardware is in the Cluster. You still have to pair a used ECU to the cluster AFAIK.
Once you have the secret 4 digit cluster code, VAG Com can do the rest of the pairing process. Here is the procedure, unless you want to go to the dealer: Pull secret code from cluster
I recall padding the 4 digit code with a zero in VAG COM. So 1234 became 01234.

Far as I know the cluster is the key and the ecu confirms it so no pair necessary? My understanding is that ecu is programmed to disregard the cluster key. https://www.kermatdi.com/i-421-immobilizer-delete.html
It rained pretty good and I had cleared the deris with a nylon box strap scrap. Seems to be draining good but from window drips right on that back right hole which now has a proper screw in it just needs a gasket!

Took out the computer removed the security screws and expected to find some really crappy white flaky looking oxidized electronics, but Looked great, everything perfect. Resprayed connections with electronics cleaner and tooth-brushed up the spade and pins. Installed the good 8$ oem ebay MAF and throttle response was great(still acts like there is a banana in the tailpipe thou). Think the cat could still be the actual culprit, was unable to get the Vag on it, dead Laptop battery.

Curious on the misfire codes. I have seen a few posts describing intermittent misfire codes for an entire bank due to the cam chain tensioner pads falling off. Are yours noisy upon start-up?
What method of numbering do these cars use for cylinders? Is bank 1 cylinders 1-2-3-4, or is it 1-3-5-7? Question to the group I suppose.
