However, the exact location can vary depending on the model year and engine size.
Here's how to find it:
1. Consult your car's owner's manual. It will usually have a diagram showing the location of the ECM.
2. Look for a black box with wires coming out of it. The ECM is usually a rectangular box with several connectors.
3. Check under the dashboard on the driver's side. This is the most common location.
4. Look near the fuse box. The ECM is often located near the fuse box, as it requires a constant power supply.
If you can't find it, you can also consult a Volkswagen mechanic for assistance.
