Ecu chipped now car won't start

[spudboy6]

 

As I have 8v the ecu has to be chipped and soldered in

So I went to a computer specialist and they soldered a EPROM socket in for me and I fitted the chip in but now have no spark or fuel. 

Now the solders's couldn't get solder on to 3pins so this is probably my fault but

My question is - is the chip the right way round in the socket as I'm not sure if they soldered the socket in the right way round

And what's the chance of it being blank ?

There is a little triangle cut out piece underneath the chip that is pin 1 if it is not soldered properly the chip wont work or u might have a blank chip alls i can suggest is either u get it resoldered in again or put the old chip back in

[spudboy6]

Have the chips out but can see a triangle just the b!tches in the end of the chip.

When they removed my old chip they broke a leg and has bits of solder on so can't get the original one back in

I've read that with vagcom its fairly straight forward to swap the ecu?

Need it back on the raid ASAP and I'm well put off this chip nuisances now

Thts an early mk3 ecu is your car 1993? if it has a chip in the key u will have to buy another ecu with keys and transponder theres loads of 8v ecus but early ones im not to sure

Mines a 1996 mk3 but its only a 1.8 ADZ

I've read with vagcom ecu's can be swapped over ?

Chip soldering nightmares are not what I need to be reading right now.

Have you not got a tuning specialist near you that could do it easily.

[thai-wronghorse]

Only this morning I've discovered that there is infact a new chip tuning company about 2 miles away so fingers crossed they'll undertake the installation of another companies product.
Failing that I've just made an enquiry with a local TV / HIFI repair specialist that appear to know their electronics pretty damn well.

[Foreveryoungaus16v]

They should do. TSR up the road from me do. Just labour cost to them.

Pulled a code out of it today saying ecu wiring fault so its something to do with the chip Or soldering

So I'm going to try find someone or else or will have to Chang the ecu

Found the procedure on vagcom

This procedure details how to swap engine control modules on VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda vehicles with Immobilizer I.
