Hello everyone,

I'm been browsing around on this website/forum for a while now but never dared to tamper with my car... Until now.

So I'm the current owner of an Audi S3 1.8T AMK EG.

More info ECU wise:
8N0906018J
0004
360314

So, my initial strategy was as follow: keep my stock ECU as is, buy another one and start messing around with that one on the bench without immobilizing the car.
I have plenty of question on that subject but let's put that aside for the moment as I found something else on the car that worries me.

So, one of the previous owner did a poor job of tuning the car and blew the engine. It had to be redone. Previous owner assured me the car was reverted to stock during that rebuild.

Except when I compare the content of my ECU to a basefile I found on the forum. It doesn't add up.

Differences (Map name - my understanding of the map - start addres in hex):

KFKHFM (Correction map for Mass Air Flow) - 0x10C23
KFMIRL (Engine load request - rlsol) - 0x150CA
KFLF (Injection time scaling) - 0x18B20
KFLDIMX (unclear to me) - 0x1E200
KFLDRL (Map for linearization of boost pressure) - 0x1E352
KFLDHBN (Maximum pressure ratio - usefull for atmospheric pressure adaptation) - 0x1E8F2
LDRXN (Maximum load - boost pressure control) - 0x1EAD4
LDRXNZK (Maximum load if knock) - 0x1EB16
Huh?? (No info in xdf/a2l) - from 0x1BC90 to 0x1BD59
Huh?? (No info in xdf/a2l) - from 0x1E760 to 0x1E8DF
Huh?? (No info in xdf/a2l) - from 0x1E932 to 0x1EAB1
Huh?? (No info in xdf/a2l) - from 0x1EB94 to 0x1EBD2
Huh?? (No info in xdf/a2l) - from 0x1FC46 to 0x1FC7C
Huh?? (No info in xdf/a2l) - from 0x1FE36 to 0x1FE3C

Huh?? (No info in xdf/a2l) - from 0x8D93A to 0x8D949
Huh?? (No info in xdf/a2l) - from 0xFFFE0 to 0xFFFE5
Those last two might not be mapping related. I don't know enough yet to be certain.

I'll link all the files I used so you can check by yourself if you want to. This above is just a short summary.



So my questions are:

1) Is my map short definition somewhat near the truth?
2) What is all this? This thing has modification on fueling & boost but no ignition. I'm kind of lost here. Does it look legit to you?
3) Any info on the map I didn't have a definition for? Didn't find a .a2l with that info.
4) Could the differences be linked to hardware modification (sensors?). I don't think by looking at the map modified (except maybe KFKHFM) but I'm clearly not an expert.
5) Should I revert to standard mapping I found here?
6) If you took the time to read all this, THANK YOU!

Edit: No sure if this is the right section for this kind of question. But I'm a noob after all and this is not exactly a rate my tune. If I'm mistaken just let me know Cheesy

There is a full hex/a2l for your binary freely available.
Look around for it, if you haven't yet.

And yes deffo go to stock first. Never modify a tuned file that was not done by yourself.

Ok thank you to both of you. I already found some definitions files but not a full one. I'll keep looking. Maybe my search criteria are a bit too strict. I've been looking for a perfect match with this specific ECU/EG code combo but maybe any a2l for a 210/225 1.8T could do the trick.

Attached.
Not a2l, but dam is good enough to locate everything for tuning.

If you want to connect ME7Logger with engine running using SLOW-0x00 mode:
0x3D73E - 3D 06 -> CC 00
0x75C2C - 3D 08 -> CC 00
0x76AFE - 3D 03 -> CC 00

It's my non-8E 1.8T devel software file, I have done pretty much everything imaginable on it Smiley

Thanks. I've no way of reading .a2l/.dam at the moment. Is there any free (and legal, obv) tuner soft that can read those definition files?
If not I guess I'm stuck with TunerPro for now and I'll notepad the sh*t out of that .dam file into .xdf. This might even be helpful for other people I guess.

Honestly, you lost me there but I guess I'll figure it out as I go forward Cheesy

Thanks!

That would be perfect if applicable to other ecus like k-box

Could you elaborate that?

So, little update:

As I mentionned earlier. I'm trying to understanding the structure of the .dam file you shared with me. So far I found table definition looking like this.



So what I deduced so far:
/SPZ gives main information about Table: Name, Description, TBD, Start address

/SPW gives information about Cells of the table: TBD, Cell Data Size, Min Value, Max Value

/SPX gives information about X-axis: TBD, Cell Data Size, Min Value, Max Value, TBD

/SPY gives information about Y-axis: TBD, Cell Data Size, Min Value, Max Value, TBD

/FKX : TBD (I tought it was about X-axis size but does not seem to be the case after investigating several table)
/FKY: TBD (same as FKX but for Y-axis?)
/ABL: TBD

Is there any truth to what I just wrote?
If so and if I find all those info, I'm pretty sure I can create a script to translate .dam into .xdf for the ones among us that can't afford WinOls.

Nothing to elaborate, look what I patched and patch the same in K.

0x75C2C - 3D 08 -> CC 00
0x76AFE - 3D 03 -> CC 00

Is it possible to do this in 512kb ecu?

I've searched in S3 1024 file and found "3D 06", if I search the same in my 512kb ecu the value is different
