Default Mapping problem on vw tdi, help please!!
Ive got an MPPS programme on my laptop, tried remspping a 2007 jetta tdi today, but accidently tried to write the wrong map. Now its comming up with an immobiliser fault and wont let me write any other map- not even the original one.

Any ideas on what to do??

Thanks in advance

Yes, don't play at mapping with Chinese clone tools. Expensive mistake.

ECU needs removing and programming on the bench with a rebuilt file. I do this all the time for people when man in van comes to remap people's cars on the cheap....
