Hey guys I have a Td5 2001 and it's quite slow tbh, I had the opportunite to get a NNN000130 and a friend of mine has a Nanocom and some different maps we can try, what's the process to replace my MSB to this new ecu? I know I need to get my injectors code and assign to the new ECU, is there anything else?
 
Hi, you have to load a Eu2 fuel map into the NNN ECU then make it learn the security code but if it's slow for some mechanical reason simply changing the ECU would not help much, it should run well with the MSB if nothing is wrong, if you have more than 5% bigger than std tyres being automatic it's normal to be a bit slugish unless it's remapped accordingly

We manage to replace the ECU after some struggle lol.

Here are the steps if anyone need:
1- Check your current Injector Codes (mine was not reading from nanocom, every code was the same so I had to open the head cover and check one by one)
2- Write the Injector Codes with Nanocom and Learn the Securiry Code
3- (maybe optional) Disable Immobilizer

Remap to stage 1 10p and the car has much more power to launch from standing still but stop reving at ~3k rpm underload (it's not overboost, we reset the threads in the wastegate and keep closing until hits about 1bar), it feels like it's cutting out the fuel or something... my automatic transimission kind of feels weird too, like not changing gears at the right time.
My buddy thinks is the autogear box which was rebuild about 1 year ago, he thinks they probably mess up something in there

- new fuel & cool temp sensor
- new map sensor
- new maf sensor
- new wastegate modulator

Run a stall test on it:

OMG :eek: .... Seems that this test brought up the inevitable, better this way than in the middle of nowhere or far from home somewhere... IMO that box's clutch pack was on it's way out anyway as it went up to 2800 rpm which means that the engine had enough power... would be interesting to see the fault code now

Idk man... I was driving pretty hard before doing the test, I actually disconneced the AAP sensor and the car was insane, lots of power going strong to 4k rpm
 
If it had a lot of power with AAP disconnected something is wrong as the boost should have been limited to 1 bar that way.

That stall test is from the wsm and it's meant to reveal the problems shown in it based on the rpm results it's not supposed to ruin anything, it was made several times on many vehicles i saw and you are the first with this unfortunate outcome ... what's the fault code stored in the autobox ECU now, eventually other code beside the AAP open circuit in the ECM?

I don't have a scanner atm but I swap back to my old ECU and the M/S lights are gone and I can drive again... ufff
 
Anyway, before my unfortunate M/S lights accident lol, I was doing some tests in the streets and the best result I got was bypass in the vaccum wastegate solenoid + AAP disconnected, I've got 1.2 bars on my turbo gauge (although I'm not sure I trust that clock) but there was plenty of power, not sure about fuel consumption though

That's not the way to properly diagnose this issue, it goes nowhere relevant IMO... the only sensor which's default when it's disconnected is close to optimal performance is the MAF and relevant only for Eu3 engines, AAP or MAP have defauts for limited boost also bypassing the wastegate solenoid is reducing performance unless it's an overboost issue which in your case is not.... record an "inputs fuelling" log to SD card from a drive with all the sensors connected when you have access to that nanocom again and post the result here then i'll tell you more
