Thats not good, I tought Me7.1.1 = Me7.1.1
So the magic Question is, what will work ?
Does it have to be only petrol or does it have to be from a V6, from a Turbo ?
One of two things have happened:
It's not an ME7
It wasn't a diesel

Hmm, okay I'll going to look for a petrol ECU.
Anyone interested in a 2,5 TDI ECU ?

If the flash does interuppt and you know the checksum is ok. just re-flash it without trying to start the car. It will over-write fine. Issue is when the ECU is tried to start it will brick up

ive even got 1 key cycle too before it bricks. ive had situation where i could reconnect but it would stall flash at where it was originally interrupted. cycle the key once and reconnect and flashed away. this is happened on me7.5 and me7.1.1 before

I soft bricked mine once - spent the best part of a morning making a bench cable and reading up on bootmode etc.
I learnt the hard way, and now keep a spare ECU which is immo off and ready to go
