What tool is needed to virginise ecu iaw 59f.m3 or can someone do it cheap for me in the Bolton area. Thanks
 
Idont think you will get a good reply for a D.i.y soloution
here mate, due to security issues.

have a search on google, if you get stuck on search, send me pm
and iwill find you a link, ;)

Ive searched all over the internet but im baffled. Cheers
 
I am stuck in a car park (i sleep in the car) with 2 ebay ECU's and windows 10, can connect in boot mode but need to know if I am wasting my time.
I read somewhere with a virgin ecu I need the red key??? is this true?

Also does anyone have flash file for 0261 208 029 - Punto 1.2 16v 2004
I have the eeprom bin but could not pull the flash off it..
Just wanted to check the ebay ECU was ok..
Read about Galleto and cable too.

Need to do on the cheap as don't have money in the bank to pay someone and I need the car to get to a job if one comes up..( engineering related )
Do I need to pay for hardware device or software?

umm..
I have the old ecu which failed gradually and a few capacitors had failed..
Anyone have instructions how to pull the eeprom / flash file off the chip using mini connectors and windows..
Attached is the PCB layout..

I don't think there is a cheap way. Without buying things, hardware.
Here are some random files downloaded from internet (not verified, so be careful), most are not exactly your type, but similar ECUs.

Since you have the original ECU with a hardware problem you can copy the software to another ECU so it becomes a clone of the original and the car will start.

You dont need the red key which is for an older car.


As I said in that post I did not really know what I was doing. I just copied what others had done.

To be clear I did not virginise the working ECU. I used the working ECU to make a clone of the original ECU

The original ECU is dead. Nailed to the perch.
A specialist could pull the software off it.
Umm
