Default P0605 internal control module ROM error

Also got 16989.

I was driving in hot weather today. It had about 96F. When I started the engine it began bucking like a mule. I disconnected the battery and kept going without problems. But almost every time I turn the engine on, the CEL comes on and the bucking occurs.

Does that code sound like my ECU is toast?

Default Mr. Bentley gives one course of action. . .

Unfortunatley, it's "replace engine control module".

Default I knew it.

And that would cost how much? I'm sitting, so you don't have to be gentle.

Default I've never sourced one but you could probably find a used one for a couple hundred bucks

from a salvage yard. You may need a VAG to program it. Not sure. Impex has them new for $1400.

$500-$700 in salvage yards but if its from a 1996 manual its plug-n-play
