I've been testing the latest code this evening and found that the A8 BEMs work differently at SW suffix C than the earlier SW no suffix/A/B versions. It's possible that the no suffix versions don't have history [these ECUs were manufactured roughly 09 2002 - 07 2003]. The A/B suffix versions [09 2003 - 04 2004] apparently have different log format to the Cs [04 2004 - 03 2009].

Currently I have a B suffix version installed in the car and it doesn't work [although something's being read] using the 17.2.2. Beta.

Address 61: Battery Regul. Labels: User\4E0-910-181.lbl
Part No SW: 4E0 910 181 B HW: 4E0 915 181
Component: ENERGIEMANAGER H02 0240
Revision: 00000000 Serial number: 00000000002872
Shop #: WSC 00189 210 83995
VCID: 1F4D841DCE6C1DB9F0-804A

Confusingly, my ECU is marked on the label SW 4E0 910 181 / 02 / 019 but VCDS recognises it as 4E0 910 181B / 02 / 240!!!

Edited note: Found out yesterday that my H02 0190 BEM had been flashed to H02 0240. Hence label mismatch ...

Thumbs up

Ross Tech have adapted quite quickly to the discovery of different versions of the A8 BEM.

I've been testing some new code today for them ...

Yeah, they seem on it as far as moving forward is concerned.

Best to strike while the iron is hot so to speak.

I sent mine but I confess i cant make head nor tail of the data yet so look forward to them sorting it out.

Ross tech have made great progress. I'm testing a beta for them today which should read old [0230,0240] BEM logs as well as newer [510,550] BEM logs.

The good news is that they're also developing a tool to convert the logs [gobbledygook] into a report [English], so that we can see what's goiing on.

Although I'm 8-less, I do have 2 C6's and a 4L Q7 sat on the drive at the moment..... They all rarely turn a wheel so should be in various stages of deep power management, so might be interesting to see what the new code makes of them.....

I guess that's lunchtime sorted then.......
