Although the PnP kits and ECU’s are identical, the New Beetle’s EC’s location is different than the Jetta/Golf; therefore these instructions are split – the first section describes Golf/Jetta installation and the second section describes Beetle installation.
(2) The ECU connectors lock and unlock by pulling the “T-handle” located at the connector’s edge. Look at the locking handles on the PnP harness and familiarize yourself with the mechanism before trying to remove the OEM plugs.
(3) When trying to remove the OEM Plugs from the ECU, getting your fingers into the T-handles can be difficult. You can gently pry the T-handles back using a screw driver.
(4) The Golf/Jetta OEM ECU bracket will not reinstall with the Unichip PnP harness in place without modification. You can easily modify your bracket as outlined below or can by a modified bracket from UNA (UNA Part # 9950001).

Quick and to the point, the reason to change your brake fluid is to save your ass! Brake fluid is a hydroscopic which means it attracts water, big deal right? Wrong, through the brake lines and through your resevoir brake fluid attracts water, water has a really low boiling point, the more water in your lines the lower your boiling point. So you smash the brake pedal to stop you from slaming into the car ahead of you but your brakes barely keep you from hitting him. Your pedal feel may be very “mushy” as some may say. Your pads and rotors are fine so what’s the deal. When you slammed your brakes their is a good chance your brake fluid boiled, in turn becoming a gas. Which we all know you can compress gas a lot! So your pedal sinks to the floor. Of course that is worst case scenerio but that is the situation that we are trying to avoid by changing our fluid. Another reason is with our expensive ABS ESP etc. etc. we want to prolong their life as long as we possibly can, new brake fluid will keep corrosion to an absolute minimum.
