Re: Need some help guys

I hope it goes well . what a day i had trying to get the stock flash back in it . i dont know what vw did for that glow plug reflash but if you have a working pd with a chip do not get it reflashed at dealer thinking you can re installl your performance tune afterwards ....they have done somthing in that tune that makes our end verry difficult

Are you the man at das auto?

Re: Need some help guys

If the ECU didn't take the complete initial flash, it is likely bricked. A dealer won't be able to flash it either. I know that APR has been able to recover some ECUs for customers in the same scenario.


If the dealer can't help, and wants to replace the ECU, contact me and we'll get the ECU down to APR for you, and I'll do my best to ensure there is no charge for the repair. As far as I know, there are no other tuners who have the software written to repair the ECU in this situation.

Props to Ken for stepping up here and trying to help a customer in need.

Re: Need some help guys

Thanks a bunch. Yes they wanted to sell one for 1700. Found a used one and heading back to red deer. Hope this works

Re: Need some help guys

No problem at all.

Just so you are aware a used ECU will not likely work, it will not have the same immobilizer coding. A new ecu can be coded by VW, but that is the $1700 version you were quoted.

If you get us the ECU asap we will overnight it to APR HQ, and get it back to you within a few days. As far as I know this is your only option other than buying the new ecu from VW.

Yes he is. His name is Chris, he's a stand up guy and always on the forums...

Re: Need some help guys

Ya ken I'm going to call the dealer and get that ECM to ya hopefuly in the afternoon. What an event, it started by Chris doing me a favor and it has gone downhill since. Especially on a guys 6 days off. Thanks again for everyone, good chance our rental is going to take us back too fort Mac..
If I knew everything now a month ago I would have just installed the glow plugs myself and everything would be normal.

Re: Need some help guys

The new glow plugs use a different voltage so no you would have had to change the programming either way.

Re: Need some help guys

Well after going to red deer again and getting my original ECM and bringing it down to Concept-1, I feel a bit more relieved. Chatting with Ken there seems like a real nice guy helping me out. Ships out Monday and maybe middle of the week will know if it's ok are not..

Re: Need some help guys

Jason, If you can't make it back to Calgary to pick it up and can wait till friday, i'm sure one of the guys going to the Autounion show next weekend in Reddeer can bring it up for you.....I'm in Calgary for the weekend but shipping back up to Etown on Monday morning or I'd help. Sorry
