.

VAG plant number: WSC 06388 (where the
VAG 1551 scan tool was used for the last
coding and/or adaptation)

Notes:
If the engine control module version that
corresponds to the vehicle is not displayed,
replace engine control module page 01
-265
.
Incorrect engine control module coding leads to:

Driving performance problems (jerky shifting,
abrupt load change, etc.)
Increased fuel consumption
Elevated exhaust gas values
Reduction in transmission service life
