18020 - ENGINE CONTROL MODULE INCORRECTLY CODED

18020 - Engine Control Module Incorrectly Coded

The VW Polo 9N manufactured between 2002 and 2010 is a real fun car and is available in several formats. Meaning either Gasoline or Diesel, or hatch back GTI or sedan as in trendline, confortline or highline. Each of these  fitted with either a 1.2L, 1.4L, 1.6L, 1.8L, 1.9L or 2.0L engine. As such their Electronic Control Unit (ECU) / Electronic Diesel Controller (EDC) differs quite a bit since they are matched to their respective engines which also varies substantially. Amongst which are the ATD, AMF, AVY, AWY, AZQ, BAH, BBX, BBY, BBZ, BMD, BMS, BMT,  BNV, BNM, divided into 3 cylinder and 4 cylinder engines. These engines have  6 & 12 valves for 3 cylinder engines, and 8 and 16 valves for the 4 cylinders engines. FSI = Fuel Stratified Injection. Often times when an engine is replaced, the engine cranks but just wont start. Scanning the ECU results in a 18020 DTC - Engine Control Module Incorrectly Coded. If the engine does not originate from exactly the same model, the following list of codes aught to help to recode the ECU to the correct type.
