Title: Mk5 Empty ECU Fuse slot. Need help to find it
Post by: malukas on July 12, 2012, 08:51:36 pm

Hello,

I replaced my old headunit with rcd 510 and i think that there is battery drain now.

I'm trying to do temprary fix with jumper cables at the moment but i do not know where is this EMPTY ECU FUSE SLOT?

Can somebody help me with this?

Blue 15A fuse (F8) is headunit fuse, where could be the other one i need to find?

Think you need to update the can-bus gateway or down grade the software

However Malukas has a different fuse box layout, so not sure which wires go where.

I think you need VagCom to program it in
