>Flash dumped by exploiting 0-day hardware bug in TriCore chip

What is meant with this 0-day bug?
Do they mean the bootmode feature?

0day usually means it was unknown until he did it. So he used a way that no other chiptuner-hardwareguy did before.
but maybe it is the same way the kessv2 and other good tools read it. he is not interested and has not a inside view in the chiptuning world.
otherwise he would have used a ori from some forum.

so maybe his way was brand new or he only thought he was the one who discovered this.

just ask him Smiley

Matthias Mueller: Frankly spoken, it was a technical problem. We made a default, we had a … not the right interpretation of the American law. And we had some targets for our technical engineers, and they solved this problem and reached targets with some software solutions which haven't been compatible to the American law. That is the thing. And the other question you mentioned — it was an ethical problem? I cannot understand why you say that.

But then an Audi official in Germany named Bernhard Grossman reportedly told Norbert Krause--the U.S. employee's supervisor--to "delete the EGT."

Does anyone know which Audi model was effected in the 3,900 cars that are turbo charged and had the EGT deleted?

I read about this somewhere but don't remember exactly which engine... 1.8T ?

"said it would be a huge issue."?
Really? It's an EGT sensor! EGTs can be modeled with out a physical sensor and have been for a very long time.

These EPA people really are clueless...
