I know this is an old video but I have to say that before removing the pointers turn on the ignition and note where they are pointing. Yu can even make a sketch. Before putting them back on turn on the ignition and position them where they were pointing before disassembly. If you look at the end of this video you will see that the speedo pointer isn't positioned properly. I was an engineer at a factory that makes the dash instruments. There is much more to them than meets the eye.
Thank you! My daughter's bug had the engine overheat and die because of a small water leak that was not detected due to the temp light on the dash having failed. We replaced the engine, then traced the original fault to a bad dash cluster. The new cluster worked perfectly, but the immobilizer was an issue. I sent the ECM off to be reprogrammed and did the light delete according to your instructions. The total price was $150 for the delete including shipping. The car works perfectly now and we never have to worry about the key issue ever again. Money well spent. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you!
2003 vw beetle sport. I just swapped de electronic immobilizer "chip" from the original ECU to an used one that i got from pick n pull $50 and it works!!! Original key, no check engine light. I hope this info helps. By the way this "chip"is also used in the tv's
@@nathanielmoyer1464 several years ago my friend said he saw that someone was selling a repair type handle scenario...I used my tool and die experience with machining and made two new handles.... installing them was a little tricky too because of the broken plastic from the original handles if you can't find any I would consider making you a set
+Ryan VWDiesel Yeah... it's all good when it's a personal car (fix it again later), but when it's a customer's car... man oh man, that will turn into a headache real quick! LOL. Luckily we don't get into modifications at the shop. I've done dash work on my personal cars and that's enough for me! :)
@VWDiesel Thanks for the helpful video. I need to do this for may daughter's car after the dealership was unable to program a new key (original was lost). Your replacement ECU didn't cause the check engine light to come on but ours does along with the airbag light. Any ideas why?
Anyone dissembling an instrument cluster should be wearing gloves to not be leaving any fingerprints and making it evident that it was tampered with! I had to remove my cluster to replace both the MPH and Fuel gauge motors since they broke internally. I was able to get two new motors and replace it and are working like new again. But it is very difficult to get those needles back in place!! It is best to put the cluster back in the car and measure where to set the needles back in. It's not easy and you must not be in a rush!! You must be patient while performing this task. If you don't set the needles back in the correct position, then your gauges will be off, not giving you any accurate readings!!! Wear gloves to not leave behind fingerprints and oils from your hands.
If you need to remove your needles then I find that putting them back on very easy.Just put them back on at around about the 2 o'clock position then wind them clockwise to around the 7 o'clock position then bring back anticlockwise until you feel resistance on the needle until they are where they need to be.I haven't had an issue doing it that way and I have removed my needles many times.Your clocks may well be different to mine so I can't guarantee it will work the same for you as it does on my mk4 Golf.I hope this helps.
so I purchased two new keys from FixMyVW as well and programmed them with VCDS. I guess it's safe to say that my MK4 Jetta did not have an immobilizer. Now, will have to do this high tech duct tape/electrical tape process to upgrade my cluster to an MK5 cluster?
They did a diagnostics on my immobilizer system and said it was fine and that I need to replace the instrument cluster. if I do your processes would my car start up?
I have an 05 jetta tdi with a serious communication issue. Seems the most serious impact of the problem is the immobilized not allowing the car to continue running when started. If I can bypass the communication issue by removing the immobilized, I would have one less lawn ornament, because the car is fine for a month then not for two months.
Hope this was said earlier, but want folks to know: don't handle rodent nests with bare hands! Best to also wear a mask. If you vacuum, do it with one with a good filter and empty while still wearing a mask. Then take the gloves off and wash your hands and face. Better, take a shower. Rodents don't have a bladder or sphincter, so instead always leaking urine. Plus, carry all sorts of disease. Even with a mask and gloves, still got sick and ended up in the ER. Worse Ryan handles his nose after touching the nest, then the ECU. If someone to handle that ECU later, they could get sick. Hope this helps.
I had a problem where the battery was placed in the car wrong and the car never started I was told it may have messed up the computer. I habe now made this my project car. Will replacing the computer mean I need to fix the immobilizer as well
Hi bud, my son crossed the wires when he tried to jump start the car, now it won't start. Bought new ecu but still won't start. How can we delet the immobilizer on his 01 vw bora v5? I have been told I need to get it reprogrammed to his key. Problem is that his original ecu never got damaged. So why won't it start? Original ecu and key, still no start. Have checked and replaced blown fuses. Please we need your help. Thanks in advance. And great video.
We jumped my VW Jetta Wagon 2.0 with the cables crossed on the source side. I changed the ECU and after watching your video realize that I'll have to turn-off the immobilizer or bring it in to the dealer to have it programmed. Could I put the old ECU back and test to see if the relays got fried first meaning that the ECU is still good? Then through P.O.E. move to removed the chip inside the new ECU if necessary? As you can tell I'm not a mechanic or electrician; I'm a handyman who is determined to save money. :)
So the only reason i wanted to swap clusters was my speedo needle rests on the fuel gauge needle causing the fuel gauge to display incorrect amount. I see your needle is resting the same way mine is after you put it back together. What needs to be done?
Thank you Ryan! I'm trying to crank my old 99 New Beetle and the power switch is not felt like when I swing it, you know when we switch power switches they're like steps felt, it actually feels like swinging loose. Then nothing. No sound on the starter, no sound from none of the panel signs nothing so someone told me is the 409 relay. I pulled it, but I need to find out the story behind the reason why a relay can be so powerful that even the swinging steps or sounds aren't even felt. I feel those feelings are more physical than electrical so I think my power switch is presenting problems. What do you or anyone think, will be highly appreciated! Thank you for helping the poor!
Aloha from Maui! So step one remove the positive cable… Backfired on me it sparked and now my convertible top won’t go up… Any thoughts? You made it look so easy to take out I thought I’d do it myself but that’s what happened. … I already paid for the immobilizer unit to get turned off. But I need to get my top back up. I don’t even know if you’ll get this message, but I’m hoping any thoughts would be helpful!
Always, Always remove the negative cable first and install it last on a vehicle battery. With the ground removed you can't accidentally arc the positive cable in turn destroying something. Check ur fuses if you haven't yet.
I have a 2008 beetle cluster went out so i got new cluster and had my immobilizer delete it from someone else and now my car only starts but no throttle response and my locks are not working!!! I am hoping this place can help me.
Is it true that a 1998 beetle has no immobilizer? I'm looking at getting at a 98 beetle and the keys are lost but it's a running driving car. I wasn't sure if it would be a simple lock smith call to have me a key made up or if it would be a vw delarship and tow job to get reprogrammed. Cheers
Ok pretty good tips now I've got a question my cluster everytime I shut off my car the clusters are wrong as far as back to zero when you turn back on thd key so I thought I needed a new cluster & went & bought a used one at a junkyard so I ordered the right year because some are different & I take it out put thr new one in & it won't start but if I do it while it is running it will run but when I shut it off it won't start back up but you can drive it & it will show the light on that you covered please reply thank you for your help & I liked your video
Excellent video, man. I would have been way too intimidated by the gauge cluster to take it apart if I hadn't seen this video. Never knew the ECU was that easy to dig out either. Thank you much. I was considering having KermaTDI do my Immobilizer delete, would you reccomend any other service first though?
I need your help! 2005 VW Beetle GLS convertible 1.8L turbo, new battery, new passenger door lock actuator, new battery in the key fob. I can open the door via the lock blade, start the car, drive all day long. BUT, I cannot get the key fob to connect to the car to use the alarm/lock/unlock/trunk. I only have the one key, and have tried putting the key in the ignition, shutting the door, turning the key to the On position without turning on the car and clicking lock button on the door, followed by holding down the Lock button on the fob, but nothing. Tried splitting the fob and putting the blade in the ignition (again, in the On position), removing the lock barrel from the drivers side door and using a screwdriver, turning the lock to the right for ten seconds. I then clicked on lock, waited 2 seconds and clicked again, but nothing. Not sure what other tricks there are to getting the fob to connect to the car :( Any help you can give would be golden, and greatly appreciated :)
Motor blow, planing on transferring my ECU (stage 3 tune) and cluster in into my other Volkswagen TDI mk4. (mmobilizer was deleted in the first car with the blowing motor) Will i have any issues once installed? Will it start and shut off? Will i have to delete the mmobilizer? Will i have to reprogram the keys? with VCDS?
The ECU and Cluster work together to complete the immobilizer system in VW vehicles. Check to see if the immo light goes out when you turn the lock to the "on" position.
I have a 2002 vw beetle and the epc light stays on... car will start for 3 seconds then go off... very frustrating it will not stay running not matter what I do... I replaced the fuel pump...plugs...electronic ignition... still nothing... will replacing the ecu fix this problem...?
Why are there so many problems with these VW beetles? I know this lady that's having a similar problem and asked me if I wanted to buy the car? Hell no, because if I take it to a shop I'll probably end up paying double for the car. Changing my mind about VW beetles they sound like too much trouble!
In my experience, a fob with a battery and no chip should work, I broke the chip trying to transfer it,which is why I'm on this video, but the fob does unlock and lock the car no problem
Please check your radio in your. A component of the the immobiliser in connected to the radio. If the radio does not work or it has been replaced with after marker on, the car will not start
I had a passenger side seat air bag deploy for no apparent reason. I replaced the airbag but continue to have the airbag light stay on. I have reset the light and it will stay off for a short while. I cannot get it to pass inspection if the airbag light doesn't come on and then go out. What is a solution? Can the light be wired to another light that comes on and then goes out? Thanks for your response.
GREAT VIDEO! i have some troubles with my 2004 jetta 1.8 turbo. it has a 09a tiptronic transmission and i made the swap to a 02j manual transmission.. but i can´t make work the speedometer... did you have some expirience with it?? greetings from Acapulco, México.

Had Malone IMMO Delete done to my ECU on a 2008 Jetta. Now it shows SAFE displayed on the instrument cluster. Is this a normal situation after doing an IMMO delete on a mk5?
Hey I noticed someone who owned my car before me has cut wires from the "TC 800" box, I think it's the tcm and there is a key wired to a relay close to the box under my dash. The car starts just fine, I have no weird issues except, after driving the car about 30 minutes, I noticed that the positive battery terminal gets pretty hot, hotter then I think it should get. Could this be from the immo/tcm being messed with. I am pretty good with electrical systems but with euro cars I'm so lost.
I lost key on my golf mk4 I got a new one but now won't crank it needs to be programmed.so Can I swap the ecu and immobilizer with key and switch from a junk car. You think it will crack ??
I need help with my 2003 beetle. my ecu had moisture and was replaced with a used one now the car won't start And the key immobilizer is blinking. the dealer said I would need the old cluster from the vehicle I got the used ecu out of. what can I do to bypass this so the car can start
Hello my dear friend I had one car problem when they repair my car aircon after a days my car not start at all. so I need your suggestion what I will do for my car. they check for my technicians they said kombiinstrument does not working so what is the solution of this. waiting for your suggestion thanks a lot.
Can I not simply replace all the tumblers in my mk4 golf with new ones that come with new keys that have no chips in them to program by simply removing my current immobilizer chip from my current properly functioning key and securing it near the ignition in the steering column plastics?
Hi There, after playing with the dash without removing the imo fuse my car was stuck and I had to sent out my car to have the Imo by passed and since then Glow plug and the brake light flashes and the air bag light and the abs and the check engine is on solide about just the same as your at 7:06 in your video, I am about to sell the car and need to find a solution to make them go away... where you able to get yours off finally ???

the problem is how to delete immo inside the ECU
Thanks for taking the time showing folks how to take that to bits. Id not have figured that out. So confusing using those cars.
This video helped me so much! I can fix my gas gauge and I got rid of my check engine and air bag lights. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You have saved my life sir
Out of sight out of mind. Good solution.
Sent my ECU to Tune My Euro in Georgia and solved the immobalizer problem.
Good video... I hate dealing with the needles in the dash. There's always one that doesn't sit in the same place as it was.
Agreed, it was the speedo needle for me this round.
+Ryan VWDiesel Yeah... it's all good when it's a personal car (fix it again later), but when it's a customer's car... man oh man, that will turn into a headache real quick! LOL. Luckily we don't get into modifications at the shop. I've done dash work on my personal cars and that's enough for me! :)
Yea this was a personal car I was flipping. I traded it yesterday for a mk4 tdi jetta wagon automatic.
Has anyone tried just desoldering the light from the back of the panel? Then you wouldn't have to pull the needles.

Anyone dissembling an instrument cluster should be wearing gloves to not be leaving any fingerprints and making it evident that it was tampered with! I had to remove my cluster to replace both the MPH and Fuel gauge motors since they broke internally. I was able to get two new motors and replace it and are working like new again. But it is very difficult to get those needles back in place!! It is best to put the cluster back in the car and measure where to set the needles back in. It's not easy and you must not be in a rush!!

Wear gloves to not leave behind fingerprints and oils from your hands.
If you need to remove your needles then I find that putting them back on very easy.Just put them back on at around about the 2 o'clock position then wind them clockwise to around the 7 o'clock position then bring back anticlockwise until you feel resistance on the needle until they are where they need to be.I haven't had an issue doing it that way and I have removed my needles many times.Your clocks may well be different to mine so I can't guarantee it will work the same for you as it does on my mk4 Golf.I hope this helps.
Well presented and explained, hope it works when i remove my immobiliser warning light
Hey please comment how it goes I need to do the same thing
Can you just match the key to the cluster after immo off to stop the immo light flashing ?
so I purchased two new keys from FixMyVW as well and programmed them with VCDS. I guess it's safe to say that my MK4 Jetta did not have an immobilizer. Now, will have to do this high tech duct tape/electrical tape process to upgrade my cluster to an MK5 cluster?
this helps so much I think I can fix my car myself now
Just break the light off with pliers that's what I did works like a charm
Malcolm Alvarez shat light
Vw is trying to tell me to take my car to dismantler because immobilize is shot and they cannot fix it!
They did a diagnostics on my immobilizer system and said it was fine and that I need to replace the instrument cluster. if I do your processes would my car start up?
Prolly not!!
I have an 05 jetta tdi with a serious communication issue. Seems the most serious impact of the problem is the immobilized not allowing the car to continue running when started. If I can bypass the communication issue by removing the immobilized, I would have one less lawn ornament, because the car is fine for a month then not for two months.
Hope this was said earlier, but want folks to know: don't handle rodent nests with bare hands! Best to also wear a mask. If you vacuum, do it with one with a good filter and empty while still wearing a mask.
Then take the gloves off and wash your hands and face. Better, take a shower.
Rodents don't have a bladder or sphincter, so instead always leaking urine. Plus, carry all sorts of disease.
Even with a mask and gloves, still got sick and ended up in the ER.
Worse Ryan handles his nose after touching the nest, then the ECU. If someone to handle that ECU later, they could get sick.
Hope this helps.
😂😢😮
If you have a Vagcom, or a Ross TECH cable you can do this at home. Problem is if you don't do it right there will be more problems.
I had a problem where the battery was placed in the car wrong and the car never started I was told it may have messed up the computer. I habe now made this my project car. Will replacing the computer mean I need to fix the immobilizer as well
Do you have to do anything with the new un programmed key after replacing the ecu? Or will it simply turn the car on after swapping the ecu?

I had a passenger side seat air bag deploy for no apparent reason. I replaced the airbag but continue to have the airbag light stay on. I have reset the light and it will stay off for a short while. I cannot get it to pass inspection if the airbag light doesn't come on and then go out. What is a solution? Can the light be wired to another light that comes on and then goes out? Thanks for your response.

Where did you send the cluster or ecu to remove immobilizer system and how much
I need help for VW Polo diesal immobilizer
Great day to you and thanks for the detail video, do you have anyone outlets for the 1999 VW Beetle Turbo 1.8? possible will need the key delete
I did everything on this video including getting a deleted immobilizer. Now the user is dead. What can be done
Can anyone say if the glowplug relay/module is in this same mouse hole as the ECU on the 2002 and newer New Beetles?
If I do this can I run the engine without the cluster? Looking to swap the motor of a 2000 golf into a project car.
Had Malone IMMO Delete done to my ECU on a 2008 Jetta. Now it shows SAFE displayed on the instrument cluster. Is this a normal situation after doing an IMMO delete on a mk5?
Does the same problem reoccur?
Thx for being real specific on how to do the job found it simple just wandering how much for eliminate the imobolizer ?
I paid 170.00 to rebuild and delete immobilizer from neat computers in FL
for a 2002 VW Cabrio
Hey I noticed someone who owned my car before me has cut wires from the "TC 800" box, I think it's the tcm and there is a key wired to a relay close to the box under my dash. The car starts just fine, I have no weird issues except, after driving the car about 30 minutes, I noticed that the positive battery terminal gets pretty hot, hotter then I think it should get. Could this be from the immo/tcm being messed with. I am pretty good with electrical systems but with euro cars I'm so lost.
I lost key on my golf mk4 I got a new one but now won't crank it needs to be programmed.so Can I swap the ecu and immobilizer with key and switch from a junk car. You think it will crack ??
Did you try it?
I need help with my 2003 beetle. my ecu had moisture and was replaced with a used one now the car won't start And the key immobilizer is blinking. the dealer said I would need the old cluster from the vehicle I got the used ecu out of. what can I do to bypass this so the car can start
You need to delete the immobilizer in the ecu like in this video. Check out FixMyVw.com and they can do the delete for you.

Can I Change the clutter if the imoplazer is deleted
Can I not simply replace all the tumblers in my mk4 golf with new ones that come with new keys that have no chips in them to program by simply removing my current immobilizer chip from my current properly functioning key and securing it near the ignition in the steering column plastics?
Yes, I've done that before, just take the transponder out of the good key and stuck it to the steering column, now just a cut blade will start the car

Hello does the immobilizer control the fuel pump relay? my 2000 beetle will not start until i jump the two big ends on the relay then the fuel pump runs
Check power and ground to the relay primary side. If power and ground are there then its a bad relay.
