So stumbled on this particularly useful geek community and I can tell I'll be spending a lot of time here. all the best Paul Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: jimmcgee5 on June 04, 2014, 10:52:06 AM :D you can loose days in here Paul ;D
hello from sunny Erskine :P Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: sweegie on June 04, 2014, 11:10:50 AM Greetings from an ex weegie, who's now living outside Wick!
What brings you here? Got a project you're working on? Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 07:19:01 AM cheers guys,
I'm in Troon, not exactly a project at the minute, but I'm getting itchy, might start one soon. Just bought a 1992 saab 900, not picked it up yet (it's 450 miles away in port talbot), but I've no idea what's in it. It's going to be a project for pressure testing and hopefully a stupid sized turbo if everything will cope with it, if not, my credit card's going to start groaning very soon. I used to work on old a couple of frankensaabs, saab 9-5 2.3 turbos a few years ago and they were fun. Reason I'm on here though, is a seat leon 1.6 basic and boring car. Melted coil, fuel pump fuse and god knows what else all went at the same time, turned out the ECU was faulty, so I've bought a replacement second hand and am now going through immobilizer hell! Wish me luck! Catch yous later Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: sweegie on June 05, 2014, 09:50:46 AM Good luck ;)
I started tuning on the B204 Saabs... Damn fine engine & I miss my old shape 9-3.... Hope all goes well with the Seat! Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 01:27:05 PM lol, seat's getting set on fire soon, spent most of today trying to dump the data from the eeprom chip. tried everyting in the forums here, I might have either corrupted it or replaced the faulty ecu with a faulty ecu. Time for beer, a new day might bring new light
Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: tjwasiak on June 05, 2014, 01:41:26 PM Are you sure your 1.6 Seat is using ME7 ECU? I do not think so...
Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 02:46:48 PM hmmmmmm, schoolboy error on my part perhaps. magnet marelli 61600.669.08 and a BCB 1.6 16v engine. Would me7 or 95040 be physically printed on the chip? I'll have a look. Doesn't explain why vag commander can't connect either though I guess. It can connect and read the immobiliser but not the ECU
You may have just given me some food for thought, would certainly explain not being able to find it. I'm going to build a bench rig, got tons of old computer bits n bobs that'll do the trick, just need the connectors really Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: tjwasiak on June 05, 2014, 02:50:23 PM Open your ECU and post photos so we can tell you which chip is EEPROM so you can read it but I am not sure if you will find a way to recover PIN from that. It might be easier just to swap EEPROM from stock broken ECU to replacement one.
Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 03:21:40 PM okay dokey, photo's not the best on account of the flash, will take another couple in a minute:

Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: tjwasiak on June 05, 2014, 03:28:15 PM Please zoom 2 8pin SOIC chips - one of them is EEPROM you are looking for.
Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 03:30:27 PM should have said, that's the old one by the way. new one's still in the car, and i'm in for the night
Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 03:31:30 PM cheers man, shall do, will put it on in a minute
Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 03:52:31 PM First one? me056 ie not me7?

Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 04:02:39 PM the thing I'm most mad about is I turned down a minted leon fr last year for £2000 ($3360 US), now I'm thinking about what could have been!

Yeah, agreed, lol, might have had a few too many beers already, was reading that 08056! Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: adam- on June 05, 2014, 04:33:10 PM Too many beers?
You mean mwi? Title: Re: another hi from scotland Post by: paulazoid on June 05, 2014, 05:09:19 PM haha, nah, it's a school night after all (I don't go to school and don't have kids/wife/responsibilities/anything other than a broken car).
But beer helps flush away frustration where hand eye coordination isn't required. |
