Yes the J500 is integrated in the steering rack. I have a week old battery, the old one was the original I guess and during wintertime cold starts it was noticably weaker. Also threw a code back in january. I guess it might have something to do with the steering rack breaking down.
I'd say the job is very doable on jackstands aswell as the unit weighs somewhere between 10-15 kg. Main problem is the coding part, I have VCDS but didn't find anything refering to "J500 replace control unit" when checking.
Hi,
I am experiencing problems with my B8.5 steering rack, it's making noises at standstill and low speeds and it's binding when driving straight roads so it's annoying just keeping a straight line. It also throws a fault code telling it's a mechanical fault.

What mods do you have planned for your car?
I really need to get my S5 peelers fitted. I bought them earlier in spring but I haven't gotten around to fit them yet.
If the previous mapper locked the file you most probably be able to read the file off the ecu. But you can always write a new file to it replacing the old one, if not the previous mapper has done something really stupid.
How do you know the previous file is the stock file? If the car puts out...
I've got 322 hp with 728 Nm of torque from my CDUC. I'm happy with this tune and had the TCU tuned at the same occasion. Almost a year with it tuned and 131k km on the ODO there has been no problems. No hardware mods done to the car.
