Wow this is doing my head in
.
I found SSS Progman v32 with a set of data files mid 2008 i.e. about 8 months after my car was built. Should be good for information.
1) It has a completed MSV80.ATS file. My production code is VW52 and there are two specific lines for it
;Fahrzeugzuordnung (Auftrags-Steuerdatei) vom 11.07.2008 08:55
;TAIS-Abfragedatum (ab) 24.07.2008
FZG;LA;SA;ZB_NR;SE_VS
VW52;;;7592816;SE
VW52;;;7594564;SE
Great. Some brand new to me ZB numbers.
2) If I look up those numbers it pulls in a bunch of other production codes in the ATS file but all (I think all - I've not checked every one) E9x 323i with the 140kW N52B25U1 engine. So we're in the ball park at least but why are there two entries?
2) The ZB that's on the sticker on the DME and in the plant/factory data read via INPA (7580866) is referenced in the same file as being for a WB12 which is a E92 323i Coupe.

;TAIS-Abfragedatum (ab) 24.07.2008
FZG;LA;SA;ZB_NR;SE_VS
WB12;;;7580866;SE
WB12;;;7587236;XX
WB12;;;7592816;SE
WB12;;;7594564;SE
WB12 refers to a number of others above including the same two ZB numbers given for the VW52. It also has the 7587236 which is listed as the upgrade in the latest data. Anyone know what the XX vs SE means in the "SE_VS" column?
3) There is still no entry for 7580866 in the MVS80.DAT file nor 7587236 so I can't program these specific ZB numbers.
4) There are for the 7592816/7594564 entries listed against the VW52.
Should I take a punt and try one and hope for the best. I was really hoping for something more definitive though like the original ZB or at least the upgrade it points to. What should I do to ensure I don't hit any upgrade limits?
Any further ideas? Maybe find older version again? v28 should be about the oldest I can go so I can't be that far off. I'd be surprised if versions were removed within 6 months. I still think there must be another source of data or linking of versions somewhere that I'm not seeing.
Confused....
