The more confusing part is that on the official VW Canada parts site, both are listed as compatible:
View attachment 280057
View attachment 280058
But the local dealer I went to is showing me on their system the only correct part is 06A-906-036-Q. FCP euro has the Bosch ones listed but they don't search by VIN, so not sure if that makes a difference. In 2015 the GTI came with or without performance pack, mine is the performance pack with +10HP, so 220HP. I know this is ECU software only, but maybe that's why their are two different parts? If the MK7 GTIs are all the same why are there so many options for parts (OEM and Bosch)?
Options I've found so far priced in order:
- FCP Euro - Bosch - 06A-906-036-Q - $59USD - (fcpeuro.com) - Website says doesn't fit my car, but emailed customer support and they say this is the one for my car and the FCP site is wrong.
- FCP Euro - Bosch - 06L-906-036-AH - $79USD - (fcpeuro.com) - Fits GTI only 2015 and 2016???
- parkautomotorsports.ca - Bosch - 06L-906-036-AK - $80USD - (parkautomotorsports.ca) - Fits GTI all models from 2015 to 2021??
- thewrenchmonkey.ca - Bosch - 62835 - $88USD - (thewrenchmonkey.ca) - Fits GTI only 2015 and 2016???
- urotuning.com - Bosch - 06A-906-036-Q - $108USD - (urotuning.com) - Fits GTI all models from 2015 to 2021??
- VW Canada - OEM - 06L-906-036-AD - $125USD
- wctperformance.ca - OEM - 06K-906-036-M - $136USD (wctperformance.ca) - Fits GTI all models from 2015 to 2021??
- FCP Euro - OEM - 06L-906-036-AH - $197USD - (fcpeuro.com) - Fits GTI only 2015 and 2016???
- ShopDAP - OEM - 06A-906-036-Q - $263USD - (shopdap.com) - Fits GTI all models from 2015 to 2021??
- VW Canada - OEM - 06A-906-036-Q - $383USD - Confirmed for my VIN
So at this point I don't know what to do. I love how the lottery of this fiasco is that my VIN is showing I need the most expensive part.
