Have a 2000 Beetle 1.8 with 5 speed with ECM going bad.  Have random EPC light, often after a re-start I get crank-no start issues and some timetimes a random P0605 code
Overnight all codes go away and it starts all over.

I have been told a 2000 Golf ECM 06A 906 032 CL (which I have) will work in the Beetle with some mods done.  I don't have a VAGCOM, so have found a local guy with one.
He is suggested to just disable the impobilzer in the "CL" ECM and give that a try.
Or, can I copy the software from the old ECM to the "CL " ECM?

Any advice on the best way to swap in the GOLF 06A 906 032 CL ECM to get it to work the best?

The beetle is actually a me7.1 ecu and its wideband while the golf jetta 032cl ecu is me7.5 narrowband. Its not a straight swap, and the ecu pinout varies too.

The 2000 Beetle is narrow band

I will check, but took my info from this post which says its narrow band.  Are they wrong?

I installed the Golf narrow band ECM in my 2000 beetle and its working fine so far.  Not sure why all the narrow band /wide band issues
