Hi, im buying a chip of my mates 97 1.8TQ and moving it to my 1.8T (FWD), we have the same cpu number.

Im wondering how difficult this is, and if anyone has a write up on it?

would it be a straight fit or would i use vag-com (which i have) and how... thanx

 

knock knock..

 

are you switching ecu's with each other?

if so, i think there is a walkthrough on www.goapr.com or www.giacusa.com

its pretty easy, under the wipers.

 

yea its like 5 8mm screws and then the ecu clip and its outa there

 

no no sorry guys, the ecu's remain in tact, its just the chip is being removed from one b5's ecu and placed into the other b5's ecu, (both ecu's same number) however the original ecu is Q and the new ecu is FWD...?

 

sorry my question must be tricky, could someone atleast guide me to where on audiworld it shows how to use vag-com to convert a chip from one type (Q) to another (FWD) type cpu

thanx

 

i dunno i thought a tuner had to change it

 

yeah so did i but ive heard otherwise, so kinda hoping someone would be able shed some light on this

 

sorry i dont know

 

call who makes teh chip and ask
