Is there a vw/audi edc15 tdi immo-off / clone shop in Columbus I should use instead?
Most Columbus shops don't keep the bench equipment for vw/audi edc15 tdi immo-off / clone — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region northeast — about 2 days each way.
Does Ohio vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Ohio requires emissions testing (E-Check) only in the seven-county Cleveland-Akron area; the rest of the state is exempt. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Ohio and federal requirements.
Which ECUs and cars does this cover?
Bosch EDC15 diesel ECUs — EDC15V, EDC15P, and EDC15VM+ — on roughly 1998–2004 VW, Audi, Skoda, and SEAT 1.9 TDI cars: Golf Mk4, Jetta/Bora, Passat B5, New Beetle, Sharan, Audi A3 8L, A4 B5/B6, A6 C5, Skoda Octavia, and the SEAT Leon, Toledo, Ibiza, and Alhambra of the same era. Engine codes include ALH, AHF, ASV, AJM, AFN, ATD, AXR, BEW, AWX, and AVF. Send us your VIN and a photo of the Bosch number on the box and we confirm your exact variant before you ship.
Why won't a used 1.9 TDI ECU just start my car?
Because the immobilizer relationship lives inside the EDC15 itself. A second-hand ECU still carries the donor car's immobilizer data, so your engine cranks strongly and never fires, usually with the immobilizer light on. Cloning copies your original's identity onto the donor so the car cannot tell the difference; switching the immobilizer off is the alternative when there is no original data to clone and no working key system left.
