Customer of ours has a 1/98 production Passat with the ATJ PD115 engine in it. It's a German market car, so the ECU does not have the OBD2 compatible protocol.
State of NJ now requires all cars to pass the basic OBD2 scan for ready monitors, which this car cannot show. In fact, the state of NJ cannot connect to the ECU at all (though all our scanners pick it right up, albeit "NON OBD")
I've got e-mails to Rocketchip and Malone (neither replied yet) - but fishing for some ideas.
We were thinking of maybe getting an ECU from a US Market PD car and adapting it to the older emissions/turbo equipment of the ATJ engine (older style EGR valve and turbocharger vane control, like in the ALH)
Would love to hear your thoughts!
