BLUEFIN Killed ECU??

[li21]

There's something weird going on here because normally an updated ECU wont let you flash anything on it because the flash counter has been incremented( and a couple of other things). The thing is we don't know if the car was updated by VW or not either so its sort of guessing as to whats really going on.
It could for example be the original HW and SW file version but a bad flash due to voltage drop at some point, although the bluefins seem to handle lower voltages than any other device and the diesels are quick to flash regardless but its still a possibility. It could also be a hardware failure within the ECU not unlike the MED9 eeprom data issue that was affecting the MK5 gti's and even some golf R's. You can update this and fix it seemingly but it can come back again _ I dont think it would be this though because you were able to write to it

Let me see what the SC guys have to say and I'll see if we can sort something out as I'd just be guessing at this stage might be a simple fix

Thanks for that..

As for how I managed to flash it.. i have no idea but perhaps using "multifile" Superchips gave me bypassed the need to have car reading sent back to superchips before re-downloading new map ? :S

Back on the road!!

had a long string of emails back and forth with the Superchips crew in UK and they got me a map that we put on this morning that was compatible with the VW updated Software..

lucky! no ECU damage..
