You don't say what the dead battery issue was, or how they were successful in getting it running. Not having/using the correct VAG-Com equipment to check your car, would be a real red flag. Another Orger, Smileybug, I am sure will be along. When, ??? She is in the process of moving to a new home. She is in NC and I'm sure can point you to a reputable independent NB shop that will be much better for you. You might send here a p/m as she probably gets notification on her phone. Tell her MORAV sent you.

Nothing "fixes itself", ever! It could, however, been a ECM that needed to either be reset at the time of the swap (apparently they don't have VW specific equipment) or it will reset itself after a period of "relearning" which is probably what happened, and you are good to go. You might take SBs advice on the shop, as they ARE VW guys, and if you p/m her, she will probably tell you who to say sent you. We kinda' remain anonymous, openly on the Org.

Glad she showed up here, I knew she would, because like me she reads almost every thread and every post.

I'm sorry, am I missing something. The throttle body and the MAF being in need of cleaning should have nothing to do with a battery needing charging unless it was just drained from constant attempts to start.
