    You don't need to bring the car to the dealer for immobilizer coding. It can be done via VAG-COM.

    If it needs newecu then car has to go to dealer for immob coding

    You're absolutely right Marc, but just like I was with the ECU's a few months back, most people (including those that have a high level of mechanical aptitude), find the electrical matters associated with ECU's, TCU's, the instrument cluster, and swapping/adding a smart key a bit ominous. You miss one step and you can end up with a great lawn ornament until someone with more experience fixes your mess up. Not quite as forgiving as missing a bolt or a gasket. lol

    Winner, winner, chicken dinner....

    Good to hear they are performing the rework at their cost. This is as it should be with good product and service. Hope you're back running strong soon.

    The latest in posts, picked up the beast yesterday. Pulling like a frieght train for a cost of 178, yes 178 american which included two hid fog bulbs and the majority was what I paid for overnight shipping. Thanks to Epwerks here in Indy, dropped the car off one week ago to these guys. Now who is going to buy this???? The guys at Epwerks said it is in really good shape the best of the rs/6's they work on.
