RE: ECU
they may be different if one car has/doesn't have electronic stability program. I know that was an option on the 2000 ATW engine ECUs. Call a junk yard tomorrow to ask them if they are compatible. The dealer will most likely tell you no, even if they are. they told me the ecu from a 1.8T passat wouldn't work in my car but it did. Also there is no immobilizer for our year cars, so if the dealer tells you that too, don't buy it. put it in and see if it will work. you shouldn't hurt anything by trying it.
