    How to prepare and fit a new/spare ECU - D2A TD5?

    Guys,

    I have been doing some work on a mates D2A TD5 whilst he and his wife are overseas. Part of that included a new tune/flash. That had problems rendering the ecu unworkable, and Im working through those. My problem is that a solution might not be available by COB tomorrow, Friday. His wife is back on Sunday and needs the car for a week, before she disappears again. Im hoping the ecu will be fixed/replaced by tomorrow. If not, my temporary solution is to take the ECU out of MY OWN D2A TD5, and put it in her car for a week. I have a nanocom.

    Questions:

    1. What information from my ECU do I need to save for when I put it back in my car (I have several tunes tied to this ecu and wish to retain them).

    2. How do I prepare my ECU for use in my friends car? (Im happy for it to be a stock tune for the week)

    3. How do I then return my ECU to my initial settings for reinstall in my car?

    Thanks in advance (and hoping I dont need your answers).

    As i have said before and the same as other a remap will not do this to a ECU but a voltage problem will loading is the cause ,be--aware of putting your ecu you in as this could re-occur .

    Information what you want to retrieve off your ECU would save your ssecurity setting and your map ,then load the security settings of your friends car ,and there original map all these setting would have been saved by you. Proir to loading the new map on the ecu.
    Then to take your ecu back to your car load up your settings that you saved proir to loading your mates info on ,
    hopefully you understand my discription

    but if i was you i would be checking voltage properly ,check and clean all earth straps check clean all battery connections and batteries ,check the voltage coming out of your plug where you connect your ecu
    call me if you need more help
    cheers Kelvin
