Post the file you read from car
Your prob going to have to bdm it to recover it! Or providing ur read was good try flashing it slow in recovery mode on mpps

I have added the file.

I tried to complete a slow flash after but also didn't work!

U will need to Re-Program it via BDM. Ecu needs to be removed and opened to do this.
Where abouts in England are you?

BDM ( Bench Debugging Mode )
Basically it involves removing the ECU & Reprogramming it on the bench Via the BDM Pads.
Its quite easy to do if you have the knowledge & equipment. If you are close to me then I could try help you with my BDM kit & positioning frame. But you will need to "splice" your ori file into the BDM read file for it to work again.

Thanks for the offer, I'm based in windsor...?

I also have the tuned file from the tuning company... Will it be possible for this to be loaded onto it?

Keep on trying, several times if you have to, sometimes the ecu gives in and actually allows the map to be written.
Good luck! if not though, this guy seems a bargain at £30

Thanks for that advice.

So if I try it a few times I'm not going to do it any more damage?


I'll give the eBay guy a message as well

How important is it to have battery level above. 12 volts?
