Owners of a Plus 4 with the GDI-engine might have heard of the ECU flash that MMC offer. From all I could find so far, it seems that there are two update versions available: 1. "Enhancement" flash 2. "Clubsport" flash The latter you can only get if you have the Aero Racing Clubposrt Exhaust System ( cross-referenced thread here). One thing about this that bothers me is that I can't really tell which version of the flash I have; is anyone here knowledgeable about how to check the ECU version, for example by using an OBD-tool?

Check the exhaust system if it's standard you have the enhancement flash I would have thought.

Yes, I think so too - but I want 100% proof of this (and - should I be getting it - for the Clubsport update as well).

On the CS flash there is a label on the ECU that confirms the ECU has had the flash. I'll try and post a pic later. Here's the pic, it's not a new label just changes to the existing label. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2023/07/08/DSC03718rs.md.jpeg) Cheers John Edit, add pic.

The AR exhaust system ends in a twin tailpipe. There are some pics of the manifold & cat on the Techniques website. https://www.techniques.uk.com/shop/exhaust-systems

Hallo Robert,
meine ECU war zum „flash“ im Werk. Äußerlich ist der Flash nicht zu erkennen. Selbst auf der Rechnung ist der falsch vermerkt.
Vorgehensweise war: ECU ins Werk schicken, die ECU bekam den Flash und ich die Rechnung. Vereinbart war der „enhanced“ Flash. Auf der Rechnung stand „ClubSport“. Ich habe dann im Werk angerufen und die ECU wurde nochmal zur Prüfung „angestöpselt“. Enhanced.
Rechnung per Kreditkarte bezahlt und die Steuereinheit hing dann über einen Monat in Deutschland bei DHL in der Verzollung.
Theoretisch kannst Du Flash ja oder nein über den OBD Stecker über das Drehmoment prüfen. Original hast Du einen MASSIVEN Abfall zwischen 2500Umin und 3500Umin. Wenn der Weg ist, hat die ECU ein Update bekommen.
Gruß aus Mainz

NS: eventuell hast Du noch meine Email?
