Default my x-chipped ecu is at the shop now.

ran fine for ages then died, in stock mode. Hope it is just a cold solder issue.

Default Don't you have to do something with the vag because of the immobilizer?

I know with my car I have the immobilizer 3, so I need a code from the dealership in order to put a new ecu in the car (or so it says on vagcom)..
