I have a failed air bag control module in my 2000 Jetta TDI that is 6Q0-909-605-A. Can part # 6Q0-909-605-F be used as a replacment as well or do I have to have the same part # 6Q0-909-605-A that it came with?
Long story short, yes-I think so. The 605-A was superceded by the 605-F some time ago.bilzer said:I have a failed air bag control module in my 2000 Jetta TDI that is 6Q0-909-605-A.

It's been a year since I looked at it, but I think it's hex bolts holding it down. So you'll probably need a 1/4 drive shalow socket set with a short extension and possibley universal swivel sockets.bilzer said:I am going to send my control module to www.airbagsystems.com Chris there says he can take care of my problem for $100 "maximum". That sounds pretty reasonable to me along with a guarentee.
Does anyone know what type/size screwdriver is required to remove the control module? I want to have the correct tools on hand as it is about 20 degrees in my drivway on a good day here in NH!
That's true, however, if he pulls one froma later model car or, even worse, from say a bettle or Golf, he'l have to recode it for all of the airbags that he is in his car, as opposed to the donor car.jettawreck said:It's a bit of a pain to get at, but just four 10mm bolts, IIRC. I'd go the salvage yard route over the $100 as long as it is from a vehicle (2002 or newer should have scannable module) where they are not deployed.
Hey if you do this, report back to us. I would really like to hear if it actually works or not.bilzer said:I am going to send my control module to www.airbagsystems.com Chris there says he can take care of my problem for $100 "maximum". That sounds pretty reasonable to me along with a guarentee.

Funny that yo should post. I couldn't find this thread. My controller is at Airbag Systems as we speak.bilzer said:No Ididn't rescan them. I had the warm and fuzzy feeling after that orange orb went out finally!
Send it to Airbag Systems, referenced in pos 2 of this thread. $108 shipped. They rock.mblam said:I've just found out that I've got the dreaded 65535 fault code and I've been told that it's hopeless. I'm a cross over member from Audi. I've got a TT, but I believe that it's the same unit-8n8909601 (8n8959643 old).
I've got most of my interior apart and still can't find the booger!
Any help appreciated, Thanks
