Jackpot of fault codes... but you're right, knowing the car and what's where, saved you a tone of time. Nice!

You’re the man. I always shrink when it comes to vw and this is your absolute jam. I think that is why I enjoy this so much! Post more! Most shops turn them away, I’d like to at least know my enemy. Even if it’s mundane to you, it’s educational for me.

Great video! Today my students and I were discussing not to overthink your diagnostic strategies. I think this video shows that doing some research and looking at the clues at hand leads you to the fault fairly quickly. I’ll have to show this to them after spring break. Thanks Tom!

Nice of VW to put the TCM in the fender of all places. Great video Tom! 👍

Nice diagnosis Tom! HAHA your hunch was correct just a little minor fender damage.

Another top job Tommy. You say easy but you’re doing yourself a great disservice. It’s easy because you have the necessary experience, skills and knowledge. You likely saved someone a bunch of money in diagnostic time, which is nice since they just had some bad luck with the accident. Banked some good karma there I think. I guess if that car belonged to you or I and didn’t require repairing to factory standards, we might have been tempted to soak that board in water dispersant and then steal the wife’s hair dryer to see if that might cheer it up? Did that once with a ECM on a VW Polo (do you have the Polo in the USA? In the UK, it’s the next model down from the Golf you worked on here) That Car was still running two years later when it went to the crusher! Another top job Tommy. Thanks for sharing.

Love that vsds program but i ordered my replacement from copart no need to reprogram way cheaper just get exact numbers same car will work

VERY QUICK & NICE JOB

I loved my Golf and its fantastic dual clutch gearbox,but I never fully trusted it because it was so reliant on electronics. I sometimes wish that car manufacturers would take a step back from cramming so much software into their vehicles and maybe take a leaf out of the large Japanese companies who tend to be a little bit more conservative (in a good way) with the installation of electronics. I firmly believe the simpler a vehicle is the more reliable it is.

Very well done Tom.

thanks for sharing , I think the coding you did off line was the only one you needed the other online was to show how to do it if you do not have the old part, and I right??

What if you installed a used tcm. Can you delete the coding and recode it? And if you can. Do you have to do it online? Thanks for the great vedio and sharing with us your experience and knowledge.

Mine has an error transmission but it randomly goes away and randomly come back and there doesnt seem to be wrong with my vw golf, it runs and turns on perfectly fine

Nice job big thumbs up 👍

Good job Tom

Good job and good luck

the body shop should cover the repair for fscking up ;)

Second ......you are the man.

great video thanks for sharing...

Fantastic job sir..

Tom i do not know where are you exactly but if i decided to travel your garage will be my first destination just to meet you that is the 1st thing the 2nd thing what is happen if i replace tcm without decoding it thanx buddy ?

Curious that you did not need to program it or any of other powertrain modules? Do they ship with the latest software?

Really great =)

Nice job Tommy Whats the name of the scan tool you are using

Polo 9N EPC fault light Hi guys, I have a 2010 Polo vivo 1.4 63kw, I have started experiencing an issue when the vehicle has come to a stop with engine idling (usually at a traffic light or stop street) the EPC fault light comes on. The engine idle becomes rough & increases to about 1200rpm, there is also no response to the accelerator pedal at this time. I have to switch the car off & restart to pull off from the stop. There is no sign of the problem after this action. The problem is sporadic & doesn't occur at every stop of the vehicle. Prior to this problem I noticed unusual engine response to the accelerator pedal on low revs(in neutral while idling,stationery position) , slow response to react to the pedal & slow return to idle rev mark, sounds like the accelerator is being let of progressively when in fact it has been released completely. Hoping someone can help me identify the problem

Curious to know what software you are using?

Tomy when can you make us training video about using odis

What kind of gearbox is this, its not a dual clutch gearbox. A dsg hasnt got a seperate TCM.

Man I need your help some mechanic shop they bring me 2001 Volkswagen Passat 2.8 and they changed the oil pressure sending unit and they replace the oil pump the engine working good but the oil light keep coming on can you give me a hand Please

How to get online access?

Hi need help On my vw mk7.5 golf I have this code coming up U028700 Lost Communication With Transmission Fluid Pump Module "A"

Green Crusties !!!

Why would VW engineers put the TCM in that spot lol. I don't understand engineers some times

First

There is your problem lady 😂😂

Access to online coding blocks and keys. Thank you.

VW known for their electronics and transmission problems.

was wondering what the total cost for this repair is ----and just for the sake of it if i were a billionair i would buy me the bigest bulldozer in the world and flatten every vw on the planet bunch of junk

Good job and good luck

Good job and good luck
