Just a quick question sorry if its been covered 1000 times before. Ive done a small bit of tuning and loading files on my own Golf 2003 Mk4 with1.8t AUM Engine, My Friend has the same golf with the same engine Code AUM but is a year 2000 car. Will the file from my car work directly on his car or will it throw up issues? Ive read somewhere on here about different ecus having the immo information in a slightly different location and then not starting when flashed with a file from a different ECU?

Any help much appreciated

2000 is a 512kb file, narrowband ecu.
2003 is a 1024kb file, wideband ecu.

2000 is immo2.
2003 is immo3.

It won't work.

You assume he knows the engine code.

I assume that a MY2000 is narrowband.

2000 and 2003 wont have the same engine code. Unless there was a engine swap at some point.
Or if he is looking at the timing cover, maybe that was replaced.
A vcds scan of both cars will solve this debate.
