Can Gateway is hidden behind the relay/fuse box.

Accessible by removing the wiper motor and the access panel beneath it

Do you take the back wheels off when you top up the oil or is it just CAN gateways you like to take your time over  :evilgrin:

The Gateway is accessible from inside the car.  :happy2:

Id have given you £50 quid if you could get to my can gateway. Some retard had cable tied it to the back of where the access plate is

There was absolutely no way in hell I could have got in there, be it from the top or via the pedals - believe me I tried.

I dont take the wheels off for oil top ups, but I take the exhaust off when I change the spark plugs though  :signLOL:

Or just get to it above the pedals.....

Unless you have an early car and then they're sometimes behind the ashtray/cubby area.

EDIT-Stu beat me to it  :signLOL:
On some cars it is near the bulkhead

I can get to it from the front even in that location, not easy granted but less hassle than going in through the scuttle.

What HW and SW versions on a K gateway have been proven to work?

Got a car with the following version : -

Address 19: CAN Gateway        Labels: 1K0-907-530.lbl
   Part No SW: 1K0 907 530 K    HW: 1K0 907 951
   Component: J533__Gateway   H04 0020 
   Revision:   H04 02    Serial number: 060107F1001787
   Coding: 3F3F034007001003
   Shop #: WSC 00066 000 00000
   VCID: 2F69457DC5DD

No fault code found.

K is the lowest needed not L, though not all Ks are suitable.

Its likely yours will already have a K

Youll need to scan your CAN Gateway with VCDS and post up the SW and HW revisions of it.

Mine had a K and it was absolutely fine.

Mine is the following - same as SteveP

Address 19: CAN Gateway        Labels: 1K0-907-530.lbl
   Part No SW: 1K0 907 530 K    HW: 1K0 907 951
   Component: J533__Gateway   H04 0020  
   Revision:   H04 02    Serial number: 281106F1001231
   Coding: 3F0F034007000001
   Shop #: WSC 01287 785 00200
   VCID: 2F671974C78D

I believe you have to have HW with a 21 signature for it to work - thats what mine had and it was a later K revision

Whats the build date of yours?

Best thing to do is try it and see

You *might* be ok, but its possible you wont be as March 07 was when the later K units were installed

Worth a shot  :happy2:

Are there any other signs apart from draining the battery, I think I read it switches itself off randomly too?

It can randomly restart
It can also switch off

When I ordered that, I received a 7N0 variant which is out the new EOS and is bang up to date

Remember, you only need a gateway newer than a K so an L onwards will work a treat. Theres little advantage to having the latest revision in our cars
