Title: ME 7.1.1 Clone
Post by: goarf on June 17, 2016, 08:08:50 PM
Hey guys,

Iam from germany and hope you can help me.

I have a Audi A3 8p 2007 3.2 with ME 7.1.1

I would clone it to get one for testing and without speedlimit.

Can I use a ME 7.1 from a Seat 2.8 V6?

Sorry for the bad english.
Thank you:)

No. 7.1 and 7.1.1 are not cross-flashable.

What number of engine control unit I have to look ?
Is it important to look for engine identifier (BMJ / BDB) or transmission ( manual / dsg ) ?

Well, you need similar ECU hardware, not just the CPU. Ideally you would want a ECU from 100% identical car, everything else requires additional research.

I'm not 100% sure about this particular car, but usually ECU hardware for different transmissions is identical, meaning the software is cross-flashable. You can check for Bosch number on the spare ECU (026...) - if it matches, it usually means that you can replace yours with it.

As a wild guess - any 3.2 VAG from that era with ME7.1.1 should work, but don't quote me on that. Double-check with someone else.

It won't start. That's it.
