so the car runs once again it's funny how the things right in frt of you u don't see. thedrill you saved me,thank you just doesn't seem like enough.

Drop your file into a hex editor and look for "a2l" in the file..  eg: 50WRHJ.A2L
That will tell you what bin file you have, then you might find another compatible file with a similar number.
I did the same with a 2.5T to 2004 R bin file.
You should be able to flash the correct bin without corrupting the IMMO at all.

Thanks for the quick replies but unfortunately both those scenarios are beyond my levels of knowledge. I was hoping for something simple like yeah just change the vin in the bin lol.

So i did as you said (thedrill) and this is what came up for the R...10ERHJ.A2L...The XC...10ERHJ.A2L...The C70....10EQHJ.A2L
C70 ecu came with a k24 i bought has ARD stickers and that person told me i just have to change the vin to use it which is why i was hoping for something a long the lines of change the vin in the bin    silly me

OK i will see what i can do. This is done in HxD i assume. should be interesting as i know just enough to be dangerous 
 
What your thoughts on the a2l being exactly the same? should i compare line for line and when something different comes up ask what it represents & what i should do?

Is there anything i should set in HxD before i start?

This very good news!!

I will also post my logger, but for children) The log file from vida is taken as a basis.

Controlled parameters:
- Ambient air temperature (TUMG)(°C)
- Lambda actual value (LAMSONI_W)
- Ignition angle output value (ZWOUT)(grad KW)
- Throttle angle (WDKBA)(%)
- Engine speed (NMOT)(rpm)
- Injection time for valves on bank1 (TI_B1)(ms)
- Air-mass flow HFM (MSHFM_W)(kg/h)
- Intake air temperature, linearised and calculated (TANSLIN)(°C)
- Engine coolant temperature, linearised and calculated (TMOTLIN)(°C)
- Pressure in front of throttle valve of pressure sensor (PVDKDS)(hPa)

For example, the required parameter in log-file looks like this
"...00,80,00,21,CD,7A,E6,10,09,47,00,00..." - this response "ambient air temperature"

You can choose any other parameters from the log file. You just need to know the response code. And make changes to the * .ps1 file
Rename your file on "Log_file.log". Put the log file in the folder with the * .ps1 file and start execution in PowerShell. Each parameter will be output to a separate txt-file. On average 3-4 requests per second.

The script was written for the first time, please do not scold too much)

I posted my project here. Your file contains 50WRHJ.a2l
It means that your file has same codebase as mine. So just read this thread and find my WinOLS project.

ok I will check, thank you
