    Tuning Polo gti ecu med 17.5.5 hw02

    So will anyone ever crack this ecu or is no one trying.
    Stuck in mod limbo at the moment.

    To all the tuners any input?

    Or is it time to buy new car?

    We have an update on the tool progress from APR yesterday, it's underway, but the tool is a least 45 - 60 days out at this stage.

    Just got told by james from harding performance that they probably wont even get the tooling done until nxt year. Chances are the tuning/tooling for mk7 golf gti looks more promising.

    Let me double check on that one... see the H02 from what I can see means little to me usually a process of what HW/SW numbers are possible. I do get on well with the Euro dev guys peronally so I'll ask about the later stuff 2013 specifically and report back. Usually the bigger companies are working on this constantly anyway and once the ECU's are 'cracked' so to speak the bigger tune providers then go about tuning the things and the products are released - still its very much a case of demand and by that I mean if the likely market is small then the speed at which it comes to market will of course be slower than a faster moving product.
    Even if we could access the ECU we would then have to establish that we can tune the car properly....pretty sure that would be an issue but that's how we work. Basically Its not a quick process

    Interesting, I'll have to ask around and see what's going on.

    Any news? I'm waiting, like many others I suspect.

    Might be a long shot because the guys OS have no problems doing this particular version but they have asked if you have a picture of the ECU board itself just to verify that it is not something different to what they already have. From what I have seen here the 17.5.5 has been out since last year with a few variations in the protection depending on the model so essentially they can all be done.......BUT
    being able to read and write the file is one part....being able to tune the thing is another and at the moment we choose to not to tune them locally due to the reliability of the engine itself.
    This might be a bit extreme but to date I have put them all in the same basket as the earlier twincharge motors (which ran stupidly lean stock tunes) as the potential risk of damaged hardware is something I have to factor in when tuning one and its not going to be good for my rep should one to fail to a previously unnoticed but damaged component. I guess I will probably have to look at this next year when we expand a bit as I have access to great files for all the twincharge engines and the turbo ones too.
    I will post up a pic of the board when this damned update finally completes

    Not sure if you are asking me personally? I can take pics of the outside of the ecu only?

    I have been shopping around, as we all do -

    1. Kraftwerk has advised me it has a Power Module available to suit this ecu, I did not get back much in the way of details but it's a piggy back style with maybe limited parameters that can be adjusted/tuned. Not cheap!
    2. APR are suggesting about Feb. next year.
    3. Viezu will have a piggy back style with large No parameters for this style, hopefully early in the new year.
    4. Tarmac engineering are hopeful early next year of having a SpecTune device for the BOSCH MED17 ECU.
    5. AutoLogic, hopeful also of something earlyish next year.

    Seems there is some hope, I hope!
