ALFA 159 DPF & EGR Off recommended Hardware

by **patsimo** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 12:42 am

Hello guys,
congratulations on the nice forum for those who created.
I have an Alfa Romeo Sportwagon model of 2006, 1.9 JTDm with 150ps. The ECU type I get from the FIATEcuScan software (without connecting with car - just by selecting the model in PC) is BOSCH EDC16C39 CF4/EOBD Diesel Injection.
I also posted some questions about it in other sections. Now, regarding hardware, is there any specific hardware you would recommend for doing the job for me? I heard about MPPS. Is is any good? Why is that from China it costs at about 20 dollars while in UK I found it even at around 500dollars? Are those MPPS v13 from china working with my car? What do you recommend?
Thanks a lot, regards from Greece

MPPS V13 is fake. MPPS V12 can be used for reflashing your ECU.

Oh my God
thank you very much I was almost ready to order v.13 from China!
if anybody has same car ecu edc16c39 and has to recommend a seller for a cheap China version of mpps v.12 that worked fine, i'd appreciate much.
thanks again dear friend for your reply

Clone - risk.
OBD flshing - risk.
Safe --> BDM

I remaped one with MPPS clone. All good. Read/write without problems.

thank you for sharing your experience, which version of mpps clone? and for same car or other? anyway i ordered a quite cheap galletto clone but not sure yet if i'll use.

Dont use galletto. You can only read it, but when you write you will delete map and than you will get write error. Use mpps v5, it works 100%.

my opinion is equal the ecuedit.

security is bdm (bdm100 is cheaper and good).

mpps work good, but more risk.

if you have mpps and bdm and file in your computer not problem write by mpps, because fail the write, your salvation is bdm.

Thank you very much again for your insight, to all that answered. Is it easy to use BDM 100? In my case I found a trustworthy person that would give me a file to flash. I bet BDM 100 works quite different and this file is useless...
