Is your Mk6 a DSG or manual?

I imagine if a problem occurred on reading/loading a tune then they'd need to come to the party, but would an ECU fail at a later stage because of the tune? Be a hard thing to follow up on at a guess.

Hopefully they at least re-tune for no or minimal charge on the replacement.

Visiting the local Viezu tuner later this week myself..

I don't think there is any indication (not from Lucas at least) that the tune had anything to do with the ecu failing. I think it was one of those "it's a VW"tm things.

I'd push them for a pretty significant price reduction if I was you/him. I reckon they would come to the party.

It would take 19 minutes of someones time to reload the file so I doubt they would charge for it.I don't charge for any reloads
Its not like anything is being tuned

It's a Mk5 GTi 2007/08 model so it's out of warranty.

Waiting for options/pricing on the retune at the moment.

No it wasn't the tunes fault. Just a very rare case of ECUfailallofasudden-itis.

The handcontroller is now void (according to Viezu) as its locked to the old ECU. So ive asked for prices on a new hand controller + tune, and then just a tune from the closest distributor (no hand controller).

Pretty easy to do the fix himself anyway all you need to do is:
open old ECU
1.Place orignal (dead)ECU in BDM frame and use the BDM (Background Debug Mode) Programmer to retrieve a copy of the flash memory area ~2Mb file. He can leave the Micro and eeprom areas alone.
2. Use a serial programmer to load the retrieved file (this is the tuned file) onto the ECU selecting the appropriate protocol for the MED9 ECU of course, he wouldn't need to worry about chksums because the retrieved file from the dead ECU would have had this correctly calculated originally so even cheap clone tools from Ebay could be used

see simple

yes you can or well you can minus the frame. I have 3 BDM kits

**Lucas_R** · 10-04-2013, 10:54 PM

Interested in a clone cable Tony. I'll PM you tomorrow.

Mark - what turbo do the Megane RS's have? A guy at work just bought one and i have been trying to get him to see you about a tune. Apparently Renault offer a tune he was telling me?
