Immo bypass for VW/Audi/Skoda etc... please help!

[-Hox-]

Hey all,

I've been messing about with old VW's for ages now, and over the last couple of years myself and a friend have taken great enjoyment from shoehorning big engines into MK1 golfs - great fun to drive! Anyway, at the moment we try and source our engines with the ecu, looms, clocks, keys etc so we don't have any immo issues, but all we end up doing is hacking the loom to bits and hiding the clocks and key somewhere... bit of a bodge job really.

To make things a darn sight cheaper for us, I'm keen to learn how to immo off these VW/Audi/Skoda ecu's, so that don't need to buy the clocks and keys etc along with the engines.

Can anyone give me a basic run-down of what's needed, and how it's actually done?! I'm keen to learn, but can't find much about it on the net.

Thanks for any help, it'll be very much appreciated!

1. soldering/desoldering skills
2. eprom reader
3. immo off software
4. diagnostic equipment
5. plenty of ecu,s to break

plenty of info on this site, very helpful people here to. Do some searching.

Got the soldering skills, will get an eprom reader, have some diagnostics, and can get a few ecu's! I did some searching, but wasn't actually too sure what to search for, so the results were crap!

Do you know if the cheap eprom readers on ebay are any good? Also, I've seen some clip like thing that attaches to the chip to save desoldering it... are they worth a punt?!

I've got Vag-Tacho which reads the eprom ok, I haven't tried writing anything to it yet as I don't want to stuff my currently working car! Don't suppose you've tried writing with V-Tacho have you?

Thanks for your help mate, nice one.

There is a reason to why there isn't much information about it online. It's because it's money in it, and most people that know how to do it spent lots of time searching for the solution and dont want to give it away for free.

If you stick to the immo generation 1 or 2 ECUs you can always buy a ready made emulator and solder this into the ECU.

Which engines in particular mate?

The 1.8T's run ME7.5 and the 2.0 TFSi's run MED9.1

Then the 3.2 rung ME7.1.1 if I recall correctly.

Depends if you are sticking with VAG really.

Hello mate, cheers for the reply.

At the moment we're using the 18t engines, but we're looking to get an R32 lump soon for a Corrado we're messing about with.

Yep, everything we do is VAG related, but as the guy above said, because some people make money out of it there's not a great deal of info out there!

Some tools exist that can do the job easily.

At least for 1.8T (ME7.5) or VR6 (ME7.1 or ME7.1.1)

For 2.0T FSI (MED9.1), it's tricky.

Has anybody tried this on a 1.4 pet Skoda Fabia? ECU serial number has led me to this thread....
