Most likely will need changing. You could tell by taking it out I guess.

Mine is registered 03/07 and needs changing.

I had a Jetta 2006 56 and the Gateway didn't need changing - hit n miss I guess

Ok so I gave it it my best gymnastic impersonation today trying to find the canbus.

Nothing there. Not in the places advised on Google images.
Above pedals - no
Behind relay board - no
Behind foot rest - no
Behind cubby hole - no

Where else?

definitely above the pedals mate, keep looking
you will find the gateway connected with a red connector!

just to fill in the blanks incase it helps someone else.
Turned out to be behind the relays in the cubby storage area. What a kunt to get at.

I found this website helpful time and again:
http://www.my-gti.com/2296/can-bus-gateway-removing-installing-and-upgrading-volkswagen-golf

Also if you go into the module in VCDS before removing your old Canbus you should be able to read its part number. If it's removed already it's well worth updating to a 7N0... Canbus. You can then retrofit and mod you Golf to your hearts content. :happy2:
