Which software version should I use for mmpsThen it makes sense. Yes the egr wasnt removed till 2004. Vectra B only go till 2001 so no update was made for that vehicle.

Are you in the UK then?Finally I managed to completely disable the EGR by analyzing a lot of factory firmwares (thanks to ZakhooiTM). No more activity and no more fault codes. In addition I identified the subroutine and the structure that generates the fault codes, so theoretically it is possible to deactivate other fault codes either.
I also updated the old comparison table: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wvv9kqkgvJtO3bo4QTMeacG7UaEMbuhE/view

Damm lolNo. I'm in Hungary.
So after the ECU flashed, the VIN will be changed as well. Does it means I have to match my immo to the new VIN? or I can Hex edit the VIN(on TECH2's flash card) back to W0L0TGF4825083014 before I flash it?For getting the EGR off with a Tech2 up the year to 2004 in the VIN (W0L0TGF4825083014 = 2002 W0L0TGF4845083014 = 2004)
Then go through the SPS process as normaly, with the Tech2 make sure you select 2004 or higher, else you get the No Engine Management message.
That is really a remarkable work. (respect) I tried to read your blogs but I don't understand Hungaryian. Do you mean simply altering the code at address (0xccf0-0xcd33) would completely get rid of the EGR valve without falut code?Finally I managed to completely disable the EGR by analyzing a lot of factory firmwares (thanks to ZakhooiTM).

Only your immo and your ECU have to be paired. If you haven't changed them then there will be no task about it. I don't know whether TECH2 alter anything during or before the flashing, but if you write the raw binary then it is irrelevant what was in it at that section. The old info will be replaced at every write process. As I said you can even delete the whole section.So after the ECU flashed, the VIN will be changed as well.

Due to I don't have mpps but only TECH2. What I am going to try is directly alter the raw binary from my TECH2's card then flashing it. Or I will try the way ZakhooiTM has suggested.Only your immo and your ECU have to be paired. If you haven't changed them then there will be no task about it.

I think it is quite readable with a translator:That is really a remarkable work. (respect) I tried to read your blogs but I don't understand Hungaryian. Do you mean simply altering the code at address (0xccf0-0xcd33) would completely get rid of the EGR valve without falut code?
Most of the time you can reprogram the VIN with the tech2.Due to I don't have mpps but only TECH2. What I am going to try is directly alter the raw binary from my TECH2's card then flashing it. Or I will try the way ZakhooiTM has suggested.
Hi ZakhooiTm~ Thank you very much for the hint. The Security Code issue is exactly what I don't understand. Isn't the IMMO security code "calculated" as per VIN or it is a "fixed" code by the factory and never changed even VIN is altered?Most of the time you can reprogram the VIN with the tech2.
But it doesnt realy matter anyway, immo doesnt care. That only cares if the secret between the immo box and itself is order and if the immo gives the all clear message
Code and VIN are assigned at the factory, after that you could even change the code to your postal code if you want, you would need to get new transponders though.Hi ZakhooiTm~ Thank you very much for the hint.
