So long story short I bought a spare ecu to play with.I was able to get into bootmode and read the flash.However it seems as if the 518AK xdf I have none of the values line up.They dont make any sense.Especially for a bone stock ecu.Can anyone tell me what gives????Also when loaded into winols it says no checksums available???

This is your version:

-> EPK = 39/1/ME7.5/5/A505U//24H/24H5AK6/290705/
-> Contents of ECUID data table:
   - '0261208230'         (SSECUHN)
   - '1037378109'         (SSECUSN)
   - '8E0909518AK '       (VAG part number)
   - '0006'               (VAG sw number)
   - '1.8L R4/5VT    '    (engine id)
