How Does The ECU Pro's VW ECU / PCM Mail-In Repair Service Work?

The ECU Pro provides a reliable and affordable VW ECU / PCM (also known as DME) mail-in repair service. If your Volkswagen's ECU is malfunctioning, you can send it to us for professional diagnostic testing, repair, or cloning by our experienced technicians.

To begin the ECU repair process for your VW, follow these simple steps:

  1. Mail Your VW ECU / PCM
    Remove your Volkswagen's ECU and send it to our service center.

  3. Repairs or Replacement Based on Diagnosis
    If we can replicate the problem, our technicians will either repair or replace your ECU, depending on the extent of the damage.

Our VW ECU repair service is fully plug-and-play, meaning no additional coding is needed. This makes the process convenient and efficient, allowing you to get back on the road with confidence.

    Our testing service will identify if we can repair your ECU or if it needs to be replaced. Typically only water damaged ECU or ECU with extensive physical damage require replacements.

    In most cases, our repairs return the ECU to plug-and-play status. However, some VW models may require additional programming or adaptation after installation, which we will inform you about if necessary.

    Repairing a faulty ECU can restore proper engine function, which may improve performance, fuel economy, and reliability if these issues were impacted by the ECU’s failure.
