hey all

new here and in need of some help
iv got a ford galaxy thats pritty much vag under the shell
its running a 2.8 v5 24v.  i believe there similer if not the same as rhe r32s
im trying to get a read of my ecu without any luck
iv tryed kess and mpps and managed to i'd my ecu at least
h/w  0261206819   s/w  1037360634 vw s/w 022906032q 0011
iv got a kkl cable witch i believe is the ftdi chipset
iv heard a few horror stories about how easy these can brick so im in real need of a stock file just in case
is it right that the only way to get a read is by opening the ecu for the boot pin
i heard that once its been mapped it should be ok to then read via odb

again this is info iv been told and rad so i dont know myself for certen and hessitent to proceed
please can anyone help point me in the right direction and possibly a stock file to recover from
thanks  much appreciated
