So i've just recently started poking around with tuning and anything related to it.

Now my question is the follwing. Can i flash (for example with mpps) premade tune to my car directly or do i need to take my original tune and modfy it? This is assuming the tune is made for my particular engine/car/ecu version. Car in question is MK5 GOLF with 1.9tdi, EDC16 ecu

What about checksums, how does that work?

Sorry for those basic questions :oops:

Hi, have you find information?
I'm noob too so I dont know much.
I think it's safer to modify original tune. I guess you can copy whole map and paste it into another file.
I copied cold soi map and made hot map out of it.

Ebay tuned ecu works on my car so I guess flashing file from another car can work in some case.

Vagedc suite should do checksums fine but confirming it with another application could be safer.

Getting started feels really hard if you don't have friend to ask questions.
