Its not above it phil it's below the ashtray you'll need to take it out and you'll see it tucked at the back.

Wozbit:
I found mine today on my 05 plate. It's above the clutch pedal but it's way up inside. I only noticed it because of the red plug that goes into it.

First off this is a right pain the the backside, you have to get in upside down so put you head in the foot well and there is not much room to access it as the clutch pedal gets in the way. Then I noticed that vw had put a cable tie around it so that also needs to be cut off. It then pops out.

After 2 hours and ripped hands due to all the metal in the I got it out and replaced it. Appart from removing the dash this was the only way to access it. My new one just sits above the clutch pedal incase I need to access it again.

Hope this helps you find yours.

Disconnect the NEGATIVE (Black) terminal on the battery
Failure to do this will result in Lots faults stored


The Gateway can be 3 possible locations

2. Above The clutch Pedal (MY2005 & MY2006)
3. Behind the Relay carrier plate (MY2007 - Current)

behind the Ashtray

Pull on Gearknob Gaitor, You will see 2 T20 Torxs screws, remove these and lift
Unplug the ESP and 12v
Look for a RED PLUG at the back
Unplug it and remove, nip the lugs on the back and pull towards you

Above The clutch Pedal

Undo the 2x Torx screws of the drivers footwell trim and lower it down.
The Cubby bin under the light switch, nip the sides in and pull it towards the drivers seat. You will see a Torx screw that holds the lower duct pipes in place, remove the screw and pull the ducting out.
The gateway will be up and look for the RED Plug

Prise the Plastic holder away from the metal frame with a slotted screwdriver
and remove it with the gateway in place.
Change the gateway over and reset the plastic rivet which held the holder in place.
And refit it
