Audi,gearbox ECU

[Kamenopolska]

Hello, am writing because i recently bought an Audi A6 1.9 diesel 1999 with an automatic gearbox.The thing is that the drain was filled with leaves and when it was raining the car filled up with water.A few weeks later i started having problems with the gearsI took it to a mechanic and he said that the gearbox ECU was broken.It'been a month now and we can't find the right one.He says that it has CAN system and it makes it even tougher to find the part.He said that it needs to contain all the numbers and letters of the part code which is 01n927733eb or 01n927733ep manufactured by SIEMENS.So please does anyone can tell me if what he says is true and if it is could u please tell me where i can find that kind of part.We are checking the part websites every day and i have ran into a lot of gearbox ECUs but the last 2 letters are diffrent.Please hepl me.Thank you in advance.

Take the old one, or the Audi part number from the old one, alone with your vin number WAUZZZ*******, to your local audi centre, ask for the parts department, show them the number and order one. Will take 2 to 7 days depending on where it comes from.

Shouldnt be a big problem.

Your only other choice is to ring round breakers yards etc. Should be able to find them in yellow pages.

See if they have any automatic A6's. As long as its the same type of gearbox the ECU should still work, even if the numbers aren't quite the same.
