I always used galletto, works with any dumb KKL cable but you will need to change the serial of the cable.
google: galletto mprog or so

Another day, another unsuccessful one.


So I tried with Galletto at first. First issue I ran into is that Mprog does not work with ch340 cable/drivers, anyway as I said before it doesnt have id chip/serial ( is is 0000000) only CH340B has builtin eeprom for things like that. So I modified Galletto exe serial to 000000 -  does not work, get interface not found error, because Galletto is written to use ftdi drivers too... ( Galletto source available ?)

After that I tried with my VAGCOM cable which has some ftdi looking chips but they are unmarked , and they never worked for me before ( neither for ME7 logger or anything) but I decided to give a try anyway, finally installing the drivers with vcp enabled.

Tried Argdubs tool with it, this time getting No echo from cable ( meaning most likely it doesnt work at all vs no ecu response with blue ch340 cable).

...

this is documented extremely well and works fine. the galletto exe just has to be patched with the vcds S/N

the S/N stuff is ftdi specific, which is why galletto will only work with ftdi cables, iirc.

Well I already have 3 cables : blue kkl ch340, Vagcom and MPPS I would've liked cutting down on costs, as it gonna quite expensive as it is for a simple convesion, since I have to get another lsu4.2, a map and n75 too, thankfully I already have 4 COP coils.

Also @nyet, yes as I wrote that is the main difference of the CH vs FTDI, it has no serial or unique ID at all( unless its CH340B), so anything that references idchip of the FTDI cables will not work. Now  I dont know if ArgDubs tool does this or not, but my VAGcom with vcp gets a completely different response than the ch chip cable. Also this cable ONLY works with me7logger using the 0x00 connection, it doesnt work with 01 or 11 either which is what VAG commander uses, btw when I try to read with VAG commander I can hear the relay/cluster clicking just like when I write with MPPS thru obd ( more than 50 times now) so I am thinking it might be a combined chassis wiring issue too.

Gonna try to fu*k around with it tommorow more different option if not I'll try shorting the Kline directly to the ECU , as in default form in B5 it passes through the cluster( as fluke mentioned too).
If that doesnt work guess I'll order a galletto cable.

Well, it seems I resolved the immo issue. I got a 018CH bin and crossflashed straight through OBD without bootmode with MPPS. VCDS reports everything is good. Onto the rest of the stuff.

Kinda like trying to solder a amateur blink led circuit with a lighter for 3 years and complaining about burned leds. 

The CH340 are super brutal crap, they might work for super crap but even on standard baudrates they are often way outside of the tolerances...

So to revive this thread....

Back last year fall I bought some new parts for the car, such as new exhaust pipes, new t3 manifold, cai etc to put on and improve the current engine bay. However in that same month I started a job, which requires me to work every day Monday-Sunday. Then I got some more parts in February to finally put on the car , so I thought 

Because I use the car daily I couldnt afford more than 3-4 hours downtime each day and specially could not start jobs which requires taking apart a lot of things , because I wont be taking the car apart and putting it back every day, so ever since then I got those 2 boxes of parts sitting in the house... Eventually I got fed up with this and bought a an Audi B4 with LPG in March as a replacement/ 2nd car , so I can have downtime with the B5.

Well I got it home fine etc, and went to start it later on that day and it died and never restarted... well turned out to be no spark so immidietly bought new coil and performing bentley stuff and checking absolutely everything. Eventually I replaced everything including ECU , sparkplug cables , distributor etc. but nothing was fixing it , I never came across something like this. So now in September, redid every bentley check and checked every single wire, the signal was there but there was no spark so I bit the bullet and bought a new coil again and guess what it works... So I wasted half a year coz a bad NEW coil, safe to say I am never buying Magnetti Marelli parts ever again, also first experience with Digifant wasnt nice either.

So now I am getting the B4 ready for inspection and making sure it drives fine so I can finally start the massive jobs I have to do.
Going to pickup a tfsi pierburg n75 too, MAP is gonna be from Bosch motorsport( already calculated dsgrad, will post later obviously) and I already have the LSU's. I am wondering if anybody used these n75's in their builds and some specs like spring rate and orifice size would be nice too - no matter though car gonna be running feed forward, we'll see.

Should post some more in the new few days/ weeks.
