:notsure:

Touching the signal wires wouldn’t short the ECM, but it would cause a “shorted low” code.

Of the heater supply wires shorted, it should have blown a fuse and not the ECM.

Do you know what code is being thrown?

Edit: fuse blowing comment assumes that the heater circuit is fused. If the ECM drive the heater circuit directly (ie doesn’t use a relay) and isn’t fused and the supply wire is live, then yes, if it’s shorted to ground it will kill the ECM driver.
I have no idea, I can call the shop and ask what code is being thrown. Want to fly out and fix it for me? I can pay you in pizza and beer and compliments.
He's very handsome.

They've now flashed the car back to stock, and it's throwing a new code. Fun!

Did you have any VAGCOM coding done?
When I got the tune initially the dude did the Keyfob window up/down coding.. I think that was all I asked him to do.

Private shop. Pure Motorspots. Regarded pretty highly out here for VW/Audi.
Good. I'd say it's highly unlikely the ECU is fried, but with 130k+ miles on a :turboyaris: who knows.

They should know their :derp: from their :fullretard: there.
:dat:

If you can get the code and description, it'll help guide things in the right direction. Any time a shop starts pointing at an ECM for a fault code I get :notsure: it's pretty rare, but if an ECM fails it's usually due to a driver.

There's not a lot of good trouble shooters theses days, but plenty of guys have no problem throwing parts at things. Diagnostics, not swapnostics

Wait, it was tuned, so the ECU had been physically opened?

How do you guys fly with a suit? Check it in, or carry it on and have them hang it? :iono:

Carry it on. I have a suiter attachment for my carry on so I carry the suit on. Then again, I always just carry on. I haven't checked a bag in many years.

Wear it. It's usually your bulkiest thing and you get treated better.

They won't hang a carry-on if you aren't sitting up front.
That's a :notbad: idea, too.
