Galletto 1260 Not reading ECU data

**TdiTaff** · 30th April, 2010, 10:59 PM

Hi,
I'm a newbie here and joined to post this problem.
I've tried searching various forums for a solution to no avail.

PC: IBM Thinkpad T42P with XPpro
Car: 2005 Mk4 VW Golf 1.9 PD TDi
Galletto 1260 Cables Purchased from 'Cablebrowser' on Ebay from Hong Kong.

Followed setup instructions to the letter; Copied disk to Laptop HDD, Connected cable, red light illuminated and installed driver correctly.
Connected cable, switch on Ignition to position 2, start Galletto software, select Golf 4 1.9PD, with Maker (VW) and Driver (VW 1900 Bosch EDC 15 P 29F400) selected.
Press ECU Data button, "Start Data Recording" is displayed, the screen flickers briefly (as if something is working) and the cursor turns to hourglass (indicating work in progress).
From there nothing seems to happen!
Opening Task Manager shows the Process NEW_SERIALexe switching between 0% and 81% usage about every 1 to 2 seconds.
No progress bar is displayed and percentage progress stays at 0%.
I have waited in this situation many times for as long as 10 minutes with the same outcome.
I have also tried connecting in a different order, starting software and then connecting, multiple modifications of the connecting/startup order but the outcome is still the same, the ECU data is not read.

This leads me to the possibility of a defective cable.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Dear. You cant read an edc16 can based ecu from audi with galetto clone.

You will need some other stuff,working on canbus to read this ecu!

This car isnt even listed in carlist,so why do you try it?

1. you may want to try software downloaded somewhere else. (you can use mine attached. i made it myself, working 100% for me).

2. You may want to try is it working with Galletto 1250 software

3. You may want to try this on different car.

UPDATE:
Removed fuse 15 - same outcome.
Downloaded and installed new software & driver (from a reply in this thread) - Upon Start Data Reading... "Opening Port Impossible" message is displayed.

Any help or other suggestions would be very welcome, thanks.

I think i had to remove fuse 11 or 12, cant remember for shure, but it was the fuse for instrument cluster.

I was able to do a readout with galletto on golf4 pd ARL, but was not able to write with galletto, so i ended up using kwp2000+ which was perfect, it even popped up with a message about which fuse to remove.

If " Error opening port" is displayed, then it means you probably have Galletto 1250, NOT 1260! Otherwise it's a cable defect....
