Mk6 or Mk7..?? You don't say which you have..??

PCM's rarely fail, what symptoms do you have..??

Why can't you use a code reader..?? Engine doesn't need to be running to read the codes.

Presumably no ignition ? switch maybe … always a suspect. I keep a spare now :lol:

I'm not experiencing any problems with mine (touch wood) but am reading a lot about ignition switch failures. Are they really that bad? Should I carry one as a spare? I assume it's like this one...

Not expensive, so I'll get one just in case, if they fail that often. Thanks

Yep....that's the one...cheap and easy to replace....many of us keep a spare in the glovebox, they fail with monotonous regularity...
