Imo you'd be better staying with the 225 software for the 225 hardware (If I read that correctly? I;; be honest I didn't read the whole thing) The 225 has a wideband egt sensor and if you're using the 180 software on the 225 that all goes out the window. Or if youre planning on 225 software on the 180 you'll need to codeout the egt sensors and really I don't see any advantage either way honestly. Also, if you need specific maps upload the stock file you plan on uning with a list of maps you need and I can easily add them. Some time ago I made a few videos on how to use winols and how to find maps, might not hurt to check them out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-jgxTQB9ecThank you so much for those videos! I used these last year when I was just getting started and it was a huge help! I'll have a shot at finding MLMAX and maybe you can confirm the location for me? I appreciate the help.
My engine code (AWP) is a 180hp wideband car. It's got the tiny direct bolt-on k04-001 not the k04-02x which the >225hp cars came with.
Regarding the task at hand here, I was mistaken about the part number. From the (excellent) 06A906032HS 5120 hack thread:
What's the point in doing this on some obscure bin?
It's enough to do one bin for every bootrom and then crossflash ECU to it.
And I'm pretty sure there's a bin that's already done.
I could not find one that looked right.
I use 8N0906018J on these, because there is a full hex/a2l available.
This is not an A4 file, it's A3/Golf/Leon/Octavia platform.
And if you are doing 5120, start with a file you have hex/a2l for at the VERY LEAST.
I have not been able to find a def file on here for 8N0906018J. The 018CB is fully defined, but it's for the BAM 225hp engine which has different compression ratio which I imagine will change the optimum torque map / torque to load conversion and vice versa etc. For this reason I will avoid changing over to that file. Generally I just compare the 032HS to the 018CB and poke around until I find a unique string / something in both files near where I'm looking that I can index myself off of to locate things.
