So im stranded.  My 02 gti 1.8t wont start.  It cranks perfecr but nothing else.  Tach reads 0 while cranking.  Last week I flashed a new image with minor changes.  Redid checksums and everything was good.  No problems what so ever.  Only thing is today I took a longer trip than my usual 15min?  Is this a checksum error?  Of course, I dont have my computer or cable with me. 

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Check for codes. If it is a checksum error you will have "Internal Control Module" (or something like that) error code.

Thanks for the reply.  My equipment is in route so ill update when I know more.  If it is that, a flashing the stock image back should reset everything, right?

Update -

Now CEL does not turn on
VAG COM cannot connect to engine module
NefMoto cannot connect


Any guidance on getting this back?  Boot mode perhaps?

P0601 says that your problem is in serial EEPROM
You must properly recover eeprom content...

I know it's too late now, but order a Galletto cable... It saved my ass last week when I loaded a file with an incorrect checksum.  I also didn't have any comm with Nefmoto or VCDS.  But I was able to recover with boot mode + Galletto.

It happened to me because I opened a new XDF and didn't even think about the checksum plug-in not being setup on it.  That learned me!

I'll be ordering one tonight.  I really need this car to run asap, so I'm looking for a vendor that has the fastest shipping.  Anyone know of a place that ships from inside the USA?

Thanks.

If you have an eeprom error then a Galletto cable will not fix the problem, if it is/was a problem with the flash checksum then Galletto will help as it sounds as though your flash is corrupted to the point of the ECU no longer booting.

You will probably need to use boot mode to reprogram the stock image. At that point you will most likely still have a checksum error being reported. You can then flash the stock image a second time using Nefmoto and it should clear it.

You need to flash the EPROM with a clip and a programmer.

There is no way to fix this by just flashing another tune/file/binary/whatever you want to call it.

Does anyone have any insight how this may have happened in the first place? I understand the purpose and existence of check sums in the flash, but how did the eeprom corrupt itself?

as someone else wrote before, you may have such a bad tuned or wrong file and the ecu can't boot. i had the same problem when i couldn't find an original for my ecu and tried to flash an original file from a different ecu version. i managed to recover with china galletto and boot mode. There is no need to bench flash the ecu you can do it on the car. I don't think that is something wrong with your eeprom since the nefmoto flash program doesn't mess with it.
Good luck Wink
