Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
*apparently* flashing the map dosent have anything to do with the immobiliser, but the software may have, two different things I think?!
Ive sent an email back to the ECU clinic (contacted them earlier today), but i doubt anyone will admit flashing it wrongly to be honest.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Flashed with the correct file yesterday (A300_35FF), and now the car wont start. Fuel pump primes, cranks over, just dosent fire into life.
Either one of two things has happened....1. The immobiliser has somehow come back (Unsure of how it was taken off, hardware OR software, dont know), or 2. Something else is not working somewhere.
I cant flash my original backup back onto it either, I get a security access error (The RSTuner VCI has locked itself again, so is not allowing Read/Write commands to the ECU)
Had to leave the car where I flashed it last night (work) and walk home, lol. Just got back here now in the hope I will get a reply off Henk at some point with some more info!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
I have already had a few replies off them after a few emails were sent, the first being how they acctually remove the immobiliser....I got a completely unrelated reply, obviously trying to avoid the point I was asking about it seems.
The second email was about the 1.4 8v map that was on it, and I asked could it have possibly been flashed with that by accident, the reply I got was 'its a possibility, Il have to check to see if any of the engineers remember doing it on monday'.
Useless.
Ive just sent a lengthy PM to paul@rstuning about immobilisers, weather they are hardware or software on the ECU itself....so we shall see. Thing is, ECU clinic was £150, if I have to spend a similar amount again I may aswell have done aftermarket in the first place

Fark that. The ECU clinic can take the immobiliser off it again for free doing it right this time! (if it is a software imobiliser that is)

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Saying that, if its software, they managed to put the complete wrong one on....the 1.4 crap.
For all we know yet, Matteh's might have some random map on too, his was done at the ECU clinic, with his 6k cold and 6.6k warm limiter....Im sure we will find out today though once hes tried a few things.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Ive had the casing off the ECU....the immobiliser must have been removed by software only. The board is 100% intact, no changes or anything been touched...
So basically now I know that it is the immobiliser that stopping the car from starting. Cant do anything now as I cant flash the original (de-immobilised) map backup onto the ECU, due to the immobiliser being active!
Anyone got an Omex for sale? lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Well I know that the K7M has a 6k cold and 6.5k warm limiter so there is a chance its that for matteh

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
On a phase 1 172 ECU I have been told the only way around the immobiliser is by fitting an emualtor which Paul @ RStuning done on mine and it works no probs. I have also since had my ecu re-flashed with a Group N map aswell with no problem.
Couple of pics where the emulator is soldered to if of any assitance.
