Engine control unit 7L0907401H 0281014355 for VW Touareg 3.0 TDI
Original Bosch engine control unit used in selected versions of the first-generation Volkswagen Touareg 7L with the 3.0 TDI engine. The offered module is prepared as IMMO OFF Plug & Play, so immobiliser pairing is not required before starting the vehicle.
Important information – IMMO OFF:
After installation of the ECU, an immobiliser warning or fault message may appear or remain on the instrument cluster.
This is a normal consequence of using the IMMO OFF version and does not mean that the immobiliser is still preventing the engine from starting.

Common symptoms of an engine control unit fault
An ECU fault may cause a variety of symptoms, so the electrical system, power supply and other engine management components should also be checked before replacing the module.
- engine does not start or the starting problem occurs intermittently,
- no diagnostic communication with the engine control unit,
- engine entering limp mode,
- problems with injection control or engine operation,
- engine management fault codes despite correctly functioning actuators and related components.
IMMO OFF Plug & Play – ECU preparation
The ECU is prepared as IMMO OFF Plug & Play. The immobiliser function in the ECU has been disabled, so the module does not require standard pairing with the vehicle’s immobiliser system before the engine can be started.
Cloning is a different method of preparing an ECU and involves transferring data from the original control unit to a replacement module. With the IMMO OFF version offered here, standard cloning of immobiliser data is not required.
Before installation, always make sure that the ECU reference numbers match the module previously fitted to the vehicle. IMMO OFF does not replace the need for correct hardware and software compatibility.
