Default I bought a spare from car-part.com

The junkyards don't always enter specific parts. Search for a very common part and see what junkyards come up in your area. Then call them and ask if they have an ecu.

I searched on that site and bought a used ecu from a junkyard up north for ~$200. They made me sign a faxed credit card form but it was worth the hassle.

They were sketchy as fvck. Buyer beware.

Default When a dishonest cocksvcking junk yard sells you a broken ECU

and then attempts to deny it even after I pull VAG code after code showing my car running like a cheap communist-era skoda
