Title: B6 1.8t ECU compatibility question Post by: edgy on May 10, 2014, 05:14:45 PM As I understand it, some 2002 ME7.5 ECUs are unique to that year only and can't support bins from newer (2003-2005) ECUs. I know that the 8E0909518F is one of those '02-only ECUs, but are there any others? I have an 8E0909518G from an '03 CVT, and I'd like to know if I can flash an 8E0909518BC (or other later manual transmission file) to use as a backup for my wife's '05 A4.
Does anyone have a definitive list of what's compatible and what's not in the '02-'05 range? Title: Re: B6 1.8t ECU compatibility question Post by: stolenheartdealer on May 12, 2014, 08:39:17 PM I have an '03 A4 5speed Quattro with AF
This is my scan: Code: Address 01: Engine Labels: 06B-909-518-AMB.lbl I am also interested in this information. Can I flash a later MY bin file or what is the latest s/w version for what I have... IE 0003 in the case above, the label on my ECU says 0002 so I should assume someone upgraded this ECU Title: Re: B6 1.8t ECU compatibility question Post by: TCSTigersClaw on May 13, 2014, 03:12:12 AM you can flash the same SW with different version ,EG. 8E0 909 518 AF 002 to 8E0 909 518 AF 003 safely .
crossflashing different SW numbers is always a gamble ,it may work it may not work properly or in worst case it may brick your ECU. Have a bench cable prepared just in case and just try it.

AK is one of the more common files with map packs available here... there are 3 different ak map packs available on here Title: Re: B6 1.8t ECU compatibility question Post by: ddillenger on May 13, 2014, 11:08:41 PM Here is what I use:
2002 8E0909518F 2003 8E0909518AF 2004 8E0909518AK 2005 8E0909518BC You can use AK on BC and vice versa, but BC doesn't work properly with the nefmoto software. I can tell you what the 518G ecu is compatible with if you post the file that came off of it. Title: Re: B6 1.8t ECU compatibility question Post by: edgy on May 14, 2014, 03:15:08 PM 518G attached! Thanks

Title: Re: B6 1.8t ECU compatibility question Post by: ddillenger on May 14, 2014, 05:10:52 PM I don't think I have a 518F spare, LMK what you want for it if its of no use to you.
I could trade you a B5.5 passat ecu that will take the 518AK file. Title: Re: B6 1.8t ECU compatibility question Post by: edgy on May 14, 2014, 05:39:22 PM That works for me. Send me your address and I'll drop it in the mail tomorrow.
