Did they have to open up the ECU and solder on a new chip or was it done via the OBD port?

Last time I checked they could map Tiguan ECUs but my Yeti. I dont know why as they are both the same motor so I would have thought VAG would use the same ECU.

Happy Days.

Bluefin uses the port in octys, should be the same...

Newer ecus are encrypted and can't be flashed directly via odbII before they are unlocked.

I was hoping to be the first tuned diesel. :p

Where'd you get it done?
Definitely update with info!... And fuel economy!

If everyone else's mk2 fl octy works on a bluefin, shouldn't yours?? Hey did you see my post on the last page about the w5w globes

The diesel ecu is different to the petrol afaik. And even then some are locked and others aren't. It's pot luck. Got it done at Vw village. Extra $130 for the unlock.

Not sure what the go is with those side lights I will have to pull a headlight out again.
Working on another secret project atm (rns related ) so will try and get around to it to see.

Octy RS: installing sidelight (parker) bulbs- anyone know how? I couldn't get them out with long nose pliers despite twisting and clamping them. Just about pulled the wires out damn things

This is for a pre-fl

Did you remove the headlight assy from the car first?

Yes. I'm pulling on the back of the globe itself almost, where the wires go in, but for some reason the clip is giving me trouble and I can't see where I need to press or squeeze

There are differences. Some work & some don't. It's a crap shoot.

I thought it was a twist but I've never been in there, so don't take my word for it.

What does it say in the owners manual?

the TDI engines have always been harder to "crack" with regards to ECU tuning.

likewise, the just because the same engine is used over at the VW stables, it doesn't mean the ECU will b the same - hence it may require different "cracking" methods.
