ECU flashing tools

[micky 32]

Here is a response from someone on ebay thats selling one of these :

Hi, you can use the flasher to read your own file and save it to your hard-drive for editing, edit it and then re-flash with your new file. There is some supplied software for editing maps but I don't know how good it is. I would recommend getting some proper map editing software. Hope this helps.

"some proper map editing software"

that will be like £10k then

So is that why the KWP2000 can only tune the VAG diesels then? And is that why there are tuners on ebay that will only do the diesels?

If a tuner only tunes cars using the edc15 ECU for example the 100, 115, 130, 150 and 160 BHP cars then they may well just be using an ecu flasher. What you should be more worried about is the software they are uploading!

A tuner remapping EDC16 ECU's as used in 105, 140 BHP cars is using quality equipment and this cxan also remap the newer 3.0 TDI engines etc. Oh and also the 1.8 T and the new 2.0t as found in Golf GTI etc

You reckon

Can anyone point me in the right direction of some PD130 files to have a look at. Just out of curiosity, any PD130 file (tuned or standard) will do...

 

[basstard]

I guess someone is having fun then,,,

 

[muddyboots]

Not yet, can't have any fun without a file to look at !

 

[basstard]

I'll see if I can get my hands on summin for ya,,, maybe a 110 golf original map can do??

 

[TDCupra]

I might have one, PM me your email addy

 

[basstard]

TDcupra, there might be a chance you havin a tdi 110 non pd original map?

If it is written via the obd port then its not scrambled in any way. Even if an old style encryption board was used and soldered in place you would still be able to read via the obd and see the file that the ecu needs to be able to operate properly (ie unencrypted)
A lot of the larger tuning companies encrypt the files that the dealers use and the specific tuner hardware/software programmer decrypts this file as it is being programmed.

The copying of tuners files is quite rife out there and will no doubt get much worse as the tools of the trade are being sold cheaper and cheaper.

I may well have a file for you but i would need a lot more details, ECU number and software version to begin with

 

[basstard]

do you have also original ecu files? I bought the car mapped and don't have the original map but would like to exchange between mapped and stock,,,

Yes i have a good selection of original files. PM me the details of your file or send the modified version and i can examine it and let you know if i have a suitable original dataset.

Hope this helps

 

[basstard]

many thanx.
what data do you exactly need and can I check them via vagcom or what?
[btw, I can exchange the favour supplying all the wiring diagrams for your car, if it may ever be helpful]

 

[yellowperil]

The more details from the ECU you can send me the better to be honest. Atleast the 038 906 ??? ??
and the software version and if poss the 0281 etc number

 

[basstard]

IIRC the 038 code can be seen at the engine block in the vag com screen, right??

 

[muddyboots]

Carlo, just checked some of my recent vag-com engine module logs and the 038 number is at the top of the logfile.

 

[basstard]

thx for the info
are you sure it's the ecu number?
