Yep, Audi A3 8p BPY.  What's the difference with Audi?

A3 works fine with MPPS.

Thanks.  I knew I could read with MPPS since I did that with the original ECU.  Never tried writing until after the BDM.  Can't read or write now.  Assuming it has something to do with the immobilizer "SAFE" message. Was hoping someone knows if this is the issue.

BPG is an A4 engine. It's widely accepted that MPPS doesn't like the A4. V13 works perfectly with ANY EA113 A3.

Good to know that v13 should work if all else is okay.   Guess ill try bench flashing it. Otherwise my soldering practice awaits.

Dude Mpps works fine on A3, but before desolder just BDM.

I think from here on out, we should differentiate between v13 and v16, rather than just saying "MPPS". In my experience there are some big differences between the two.

This would be ideal but as I stated, I ripped off a couple of jtag pads so I can't BDM.  Soldering is to repair the pads so I can BDM.  Waiting on a BDM frame now and trying to repair but already got another ECU on the way from eBay.  I may have fried this one with broken PCB traces since v13 mpps can't even find the ECU now.

Great thread this. Well done to the OP and all the contributors.
It's very interesting reading and it has certainly switched me over from wanting to pay Revo to wanting to 're-calibrate' my ECU myself.

I have been playing with Subaru ECU since 1999 and have probably re-calibrated most of their various iterations over the years.
3 different Subaru cars of my own, plus friends and friends of friends. Some of which are tracked, driven the Nurburgring and also been over the Alps twice.
This has involved EPROM bench flashing early 1994-1996 ECU, through to Laptop live mapping 2001> and 2005> DBW and even aftermarket ECU.
Hence why I didn't really want to spend £££ at Revo on my Cupra, if I could learn about the MED9.1.

I think I will be getting myself an Ebay MED9.1 and a BDM in order to preserve my standard ECU.
I have already read out the Flash (via MPPS-clone) and started creating myself an XDF file.

I use WinOLS and various different mappacks I have located, but I hate the WinOLS look/feel hence I am creating a TunerPro XDF for all the maps I need to be interested in (and will filter out those I don't need to know about).

Just one question, will an 8P0907115 (Audi) & 1K0907115 (Golf) MED9.1 be the same and the 1P0907115 in the SEAT Leon Cupra ?
Does the 'C' or 'X' on the end of the P/N also have any effect, if my plan is to Clone.

Keep up the good work guy's, this forum is a god send.........

The letter at the ends make a huge difference. The Audi A4 defs are wildly different and no maps will line up. Your Cupra ECU will line up quite well with any K04 based 115L/T/H ECUs. 115B/C/Q are K03 based and won't line up well.

The Cupra (K04) is 1P0907115'C', and my image lines up well with : http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=8607.0 plus a couple of others I have found. Although I am creating an XDF.

But not so well to the 1P0907115'H' : http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=7685.0title=

A quick google would suggest the 'H' is from a BWA engined 2.0TFSi FR and the 'C' is from the BWJ engine 2.0TFSI Cupra.

If the hardware is the same can I use an 'H' as a clone for a 'C' E2PROM/Flash image.
