How to disable Custom Code remap with VAG-COM??!

[kingbee]

Hi there,

I recently had a Custom Code remap done on a Leon 110 TDi (ASV), and have bought a VAG-COM cable from eBay, along with downloading the cracked 409.1 software.

I rang the garage who did the Custom Code remap and asked about how to turn it off/on, and was told to go into "Engine" and change the number 2 to a 0.

So I installed the VAG-COM cable using drivers I found online, both drivers installed correctly and I activated the software crack.

I go into Engine, it reads the full engine code and underneath it says "SOFT. VERSION" 00002, so then I press RECODE in the Advanced section of this page, and it allows me to change the software version from 00002 to 00000.

I click Do It

Then it goes back to the main Engine page, I click "Close Controller", and it seems to work okay.

But when I go into "Engine" again to see if it's changed the Soft. version, it still shows 00002 ?!

>> Am I missing something, or is this how it should be done please?


Any help would be much appreciated, especially today as I need to get it done by tomorrow morning.


Many thanks

why are you asking in Vag-com's own section asking why a free pirated version isn't working properly ?

 

[kingbee]

- Because I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong or whether it is indeed the software.

It could just be a simple thing that I'm missing, which would be the case whether the software was cracked or not.

Cheers anyway

Maybe I need to remove the key from the ignition at a certain point to activate the changes made?

I read on another forum this evening that changing the Soft. Coding number could be done by using LOGIN first, so I researched a code for a 1.9 TDi and found "12233", but on using it, I still can't get the Soft. Coding number to change.

I changed the egr the other day had to hit test twice n then save... Only noticed on the second attempt!

O and stop stealing software!

Cheers Allh,

I reckon I might be missing something still, but I didn't see an option to Save my results.

BTW: Mk1 Leons and remaps are years old, so I can't believe other people haven't been disabling their remaps in VagCom, unless it's not possible with this lead/software?


Thanks

PS. Allh - about your signature here, have you got a different pump and better injectors on your 110 TDi? And if so, how does it go compared to before & have you had a remap done as well?

Cheers

i dont think you can disable a map through VAG COM , if im right ECU only stores 1 map and when your car is remapped the new map is flashed onto the ecu clearing the original standard map ?

i may be wrong

Hi Jamie,

Sorry you're wrong man,

I've just been back to the garage where I got the remap done, and they said I was doing everything right, but when they flashed my particular ECU it caused a problem meaning that I can't "Recode" the Soft. Coding in VAG-COM.

Therefore, they took the map off by reflashing back to standard, but they said it is normally possible to disable the map in the way described in my original posts, but that the first digit of the Soft. Coding number is the change, not the last digit.

I.E. mine's showing 00002 as the Soft. Coding number, which will not change (the garage tried it on their original VCDS, so that proves there is no problem with my software), whereas the first digit, in this case a zero, should indicate no remap, and a number 2 at the start shows a remap.

-> Changing the first digit from a 2 to a 0 should disable the remap, and changing back to a 2 should re-enable it.

Cheers

My sig's taking the piss outta pd engines...

But seriously you can uprate the inj and fuel pump not sure what with

 

[gezmeister]

Why did you get a remap then, if you're only gonna take it off again?

 

[kingbee]

Ok Jamie, I don't get the joke about PD engines, but I have read up on bigger injector nozzles and pump, and was wondering if that's what you'd done, as it sounds like a good mod. (I'm more into engine tuning than bodykits & aesthetics).

@Gez: sometimes you don't want the map active, like when taking it to main dealer for service, or to main dealer for another problem & you don't want a remap 'clouding the issue', etc.

unless you have had a switchable map done you can-not revert back to stock map as it is wiped from the ecu to make way for the reworked copy of the stock file, To have a switchable map the eeprom would have to be changed sorry dont know what the garage are telling sounds like a bit of bullsh** to me

 

[kingbee]

Well the garage who did it are one of the best remappers and modding workshops in the country.

 

[typergaz]

All im saying ive done loads if edc15 ecu's and as soon as you start to write the modified file it erases the flash first it does it with cmd, kess v2, and mpps all tools that I use on a daily basis.

 

[kingbee]

I appreciate your comments Gaz, but why would they lie to me?

They sounded like it was a normal thing with their software, and something that they have done on a regular basis.

Why invent a story like that and then tell me by some weird quirk that mine cannot be altered?

Doesn't add up to me


Cheers

All I can say is times are hard and people will tell you what to hear to get a sale bet you payed top doller for the remap aswell
