Sounds a cool conversion.

If you're codes dont match above, post up the codes in your engine controller and we can have a go.

digging up an old thread here but i need some help!

ive just got an AHC ecu and ive tried coding it with vagcom but it will not save when i code it to manual. i can change the from 2wd-4wd and it'll save, but no luck between auto and manual.

Im wondering if i need a login code and where to get one!

current code is 04373 and i want 04213.

Thanks in advance

Hi
If it is a ECU from a A8, my understanding is it wont have the manual coding on it.
I was able to switch coding on my S8 ECU from Auto to Manual with no log-in required, because coding is already on the chip.
There are ways around it without coding, Tozo in the USA did it, let me see if I can find his post.
So you converted your A8 to manual gearbox?

Here is his A8 thread, not sure how much info you can get from it.

The other option is to pay someone to flash it with custom code to ignore the TCU then you can remove and junk that thing.

AHC will be from S8. I tried on mine and it's the same- can change with ESP or without but not to manual. Maybe because TCU is still connected and communicating with ECU. Or maybe if it is early S8 like mine and manual was only introduced later there will be no coding for manual on early S8 examples until they actually started making manual.

Thanks for the info, the ecu is from a 98 s8. I wanted to use the AHC ecu to run my ABZ in an audi coupe conversion I'm doing. Tried getting the original ecu chipped but couldn't be done as was an early 4 speed auto so apparently couldn't be done.

Need to see if I can get a manual file flashed to it perhaps?
