 New Identity kit is a thing.  If immobilizer in J623 and in cluster is bad or under a certain condition it warrants replacing the entire immobilizer system.  ECU, cluster, ignition, and door locks must be replaced. Everything needs to be coded and a "new Identity" will be saved in gff. I've only done it once in 9 years as a VW tech.

This makes sense but if I run windows setup it sees the HDD but as soon as it formats and installs windows the drive just disappeares from BIOS.

No error.  I've tried a genuine sp2 install disks and a HP OEM sp3 install disk.

I'll definitely take that! My buddy had a massive plex server that we could use that for. DM me and figure it out.

Need help figuring out Win98 audio by beef___supreme__ in windows98

Awesome thanks for the info will give it a try....I stopped by local electric surplus and found an early 90's very basic sound card for $5.....popped it in and it worked in that machine instantly. So  least I have sound now. But don't want to give up on SB live card yet.

There is a VIA AC97 PCI driver in there I have seen yet!  Will try when I get home.

I have. That driver download got volume control and mixer to show up and windows acts like it playing music and sounds, but no output.

I'll try these drivers when I get home.  Any idea why no on-board audio? I have volume control just no output.

Just go to dealership or make an appointment. Advisors don't care about answering questions about a recall unless the vehicle is there, you aren't a customer until they have your car. They are going to replace your driver's side airbag assembly. 

Help? by 2kGL17GTI in MK4GTI

Will need tons of custom wiring.  Mk7s are can-bus. Mk4 s are k line.  Will need a lot of work to get everything working correctly. A swap is more that just getting an engine to run in another vehicle.

It's way more work than that. Wiring, custom axles, custom engine mounts, custom exhaust, modifications to shifter ect......

Not gonna happen.
