I can't tell you where the computer is, just that my mechanic also told me
today that I need to replace the computer on my Jetta 2001 2.0.! The car
only has about 67,000 miles. Yet I have been having problems for a
while, too. E.g The engine light comes on mysteriously and I won't pass
Inspection. For no good reason, car would not start 2x in the past 6
months. My mechanic quoted my 1,800 for a new computer which would
also have to be programmed - Or a used one 1,100 if he could locate
one. Did you get a price from your mechanic. I am in Brooklyn NY where
the hourly rate is $85!!
