Hi all,
I recently bought a 2010 vw scirocco 2.0tdi cr140 and would like to have it remapped but I would also like to have the ability to flash back to original when needed and vice versa.
The one option I have is to buy something like a viezu v-switch or bluefin which will do what I need but I don't like the idea of a generic map, I would prefer a proper custom remap.
So I was wondering whether I could buy an smps tool to save the original ECU file, get the car remapped then save the modified ECU file and flash between them when needed if this is possible?
I have no idea how to find out what ECU I have and have found conflicting information online about flashing bosch edc17 (pretty sure I have that ECU) ecu's and them needing to be removed and safebooted or something because of tuning protection, which I do not want to do, so my question is what is my best option?
Is there any way I can get a custom remap and be able to switch back and forth from original to modified?
Or is something like the viezu v-switch a good option, are their generic maps actually any good?
Hopefully someone on here more knowledgeable on this subject than me can shed some light on this because I can't seem to find the information I need to decide what to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
