Someone crossed the jumper cables when attempting to jump my friend's Passat - after that, the car wouldn't start - VW dealership says that the ECM is fried - they wanted over $2000 - a Goodyear repair shop sends the ECM out for replacement (why would this take a week?), and the shop that is repairing the ECM (replacing a card or some of the chips?) says it can't find anything wrong.
I sense a screwing - any suggestions?
