 ECU Part Numbers Covered:

  • 036906034KA

Note: Please check your original ECU part number to ensure compatibility.


 How to Install the ECU:

Tools Required:

  • Basic mechanic toolset

  • Diagnostic scanner

  • Anti-static precautions (optional but recommended)

Steps:

  1. Disconnect Battery:
    Always start by disconnecting the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts.

  2. Locate ECU:
    In most Polo 9N and Ibiza Mk3 models, the ECU is located near the engine bay firewall or under the windscreen cowl.

  3. Remove Old ECU:
    Carefully unplug the ECU wiring harness and remove any securing bolts.

  4. Install New ECU:
    Position the replacement ECU (036906034KA), reconnect wiring, and tighten bolts.

    Ensure everything is secured before reconnecting the battery.


 ECU Programming / Coding Guide:

After physical installation, the ECU may require:

  • Immobilizer matching (IMMO off or adaptation)
  • VIN Coding
  • Parameter coding using VCDS or ODIS tools

If you don’t have access to diagnostic tools, it’s advisable to get the programming done by a qualified auto electrician or a VW/SEAT specialist workshop.
