Is there a DIY anywhere on how to remove the TCM/TCU (whatever you want to call it). I belive that it is under the carpet, by the passanger seat. I'm sure its a simple pull up the carpet and unplug the thing - I just want to make sure.

Thanks - the link you gave us is to your job website - I assume since you have to work at a VW dealer to access it. I finally found the pictures and the removal guide in AESIS, dam that program is a PITA when your trying to find somthing.
