There was only one distributor number used by VW for all 1999 Cabrios (US market), all references below are for US models only. (for Canadian market there were some different ones). The VW part number is 037 905 205 T, these were made by Bosch. Bosch did possibly supply a some different numbers to VW (Bosch number 0 235 520 066 replaced by 0 235 520 065) but both had the same VW part number and used the same repair parts. There is no serial number for the distributors, just part numbers. The original distributor will have the VW number as well as one of the Bosch part numbers stamped into the body of the distributor. The distributors rarely had to be replaced, as most parts to repair them are available. The ignition hall unit (sensor) is replaceable in the 037 905 205 T distributor. I am a independent parts distributor for VW and Audi vehicles and also a Bosch warehouse distributor. I have the hall unit in stock for this distributor, mail order price is $121.70 + shipping (and + sales tax if shipped within Alabama). I can also install the hall unit in your distributor (if needed) if you send me your original distributor. To replace the hall unit the distributor has to be disassembled and if done improperly the distributor can be made unusable. Call me or Email me if you need more information. 1888VWPARTS [email protected]
The Control unit on your Bosch has a burnt out heat circuit. Just about every dishwasher has a number of "thermal holds" during the wash and rinse cycles in which the controller waits for the water to be heated to a specific temperature. Most dishwashers check for a temperature rise over a certain amount of time and will shut down if this increase is not seen, however, Bosch does not employ this secondary check and the unit will run for as long as you allow.
The Control Unit on your dishwasher will need to be replaced. Being as Bosch is extremely properitary on their parts sells, it is best to actually talk to a parts supplier directly in order to ensure you are getting the correct controller. It is very important that the replacement controller is for your model #, including the /17 designation at the end. A xxxxxxUC/12 controller will not work on your model.
The Control Unit is found in one of 2 places; 1) behind the Control Panel, or 2) at the lower right hand side of the unit towards the rear. Both are relatively easy to replace.
Hello. Your model dishwasher has a recall on it. There is a potential problem with the control board. Call Bosch at (800)856-9226 to find out if your unit needs to have a new control board installed and re-programmed. This only covers the replacement of the control board--any other problem will be covered by the customer. You will need the model and serial number. Next, regarding your model's problem...this was gotten from another tech site(I'm a member of quite a few, lol)
"Sounds like the unit is stuck in the control coding mode. C1 is the proper coding for your model so you just need to lock it in.
To enter coding mode, press and hold the second, third, fourth and fifth buttons to the right of the display simultaneously, then turn the dishwasher on using the On/Off switch. The associated leds will be blinking to confirm coding mode.
Release all buttons to view control coding. To change coding, press the second button to scroll through codes C0 - C9. C1 is the correct code for your unit.
Turn the dishwasher off to save control coding and exit coding mode." I hope this helps you! Let me know if you need further assistance!---Thanks!
I would check tosee if your water meaning hot water temp is hook up correctly. i have seen cold water going to machine and causing the machine to do funny things. 1 the unit drains.2. it fills.3.it washes if the water is cold there is your problem .make sure b4 you start machine the water going in is hot. let me know how you made out maybe we can further check. p.s im a old bosch tech:)
are you sure its the element, the control boards on them get bad soldering joints and the you get the impression that the element is bad, but its the solder joint that controls the element that goes bad....you can resolder that
Try this link, http://www.applianceaid.com/boschDW.html for procedures for running self-tests on various Bosch models using the front door switches. Find your model and read and follow the procedure.
This remaining at '1' problem invariably relates to a 'heater fault' which has usually been traced to an open solder joint on the control board located behind the switches/indicator lights on front door. See pic here of open solder joint http://www.flickr.com/photos/zenzoidman/145089572/
In most cases, the heating element has not been at fault.
I got mine going again by resoldering the joint and saved ~$300 in parts & labour. If this is beyond your skill set, then replace the control board assembly, 266746, which is used on multiple Bosch models. See this page for more information if you want to try to DIY.

If this is still beyond your skill set, then call a tech & supply the Bosch model, serial number, and the results of the self-tests.
