Hi,
Agnes is my wife's 2002 1.4 TDI 75 BHP A2, a little bit shabby (the A2 not my wife) but she likes her.
Agnes has had an ongoing issue for a number of years now which after discussions on here the general consensus was a CCCU isuue. The faults are central locking failing, electric windows failing, climate unit failing (main issue), petrol cap release failing, radio staying on after engine off and key removed etc etc. I was discussing getting the CCCU fixed with Timmus many years ago but at the time, there was a little bit of shenanigans going off with the service offered by Lau in Germany and one thing led to another and it didn't happen.
Now these issues were intermittent and the wife appeared to put up with them so I turned my attentions to other things and left well alone. However, it is now the norm for these things not to be working and Agnes is now becoming unsafe to drive.
I spotted a working CCCU unit for sale in the market section from a fellow member (Tomsk) it was the same variant as ours, a Q and came with a key fob ... I bought it hoping that a working unit would be the answer to Agnes' woes. After fitting it however the issues appear to remain and I am at a bit of a loss. I have read countless posts on A2OC regarding similar issues and have developed a bit of 'snow-blindness' with the amount of information I have tried to take in.
Hopefully you good people will be able to help resolve Agnes' issues and subsequently prompt me in to spending a bit of money to make her look beautiful again and a pleasure for my wife to drive rather than a chore.
I appreciate that random electrical issues can be a pain to diagnose but I am hoping that someone on here may just have the nugget of information I need to move forward. I assume the 1st step on the way forward is to get a scan done ... anyone on here local to Rotherham who wouldn't mind helping?
Many thanks in advance

p.s when I swapped the CCCU the radio went in to 'safe mode' bit of a pain as I hadn't considered this and we do not have the code ... however, after two days of saying 'safe' on the screen the radio has come back to life and is working fine ... weird or normal ??
