Good morning.
Here's the translation:
"This is about the following vehicle:"
Ford Galaxy, engine code AHU, TDI diesel, registration letter "AHU", manufactured in 1998.
The old MSG has a fault in the altitude sensor (which cannot be fixed by replacing it or using a voltage divider) and needs to be replaced. I obtained one from a Galaxy manufactured in 1996, and I want to adapt it to my 1551 for use with the WFS:
Address: 25
Function 10.
Channel 00: Delete learning values --> Yes.
Function 06: Exit and turn off the ignition.
The vehicle starts briefly but immediately shuts off again, even after repeated attempts.
If I reinstall the defective MSG (Modular Service Interface), it will also be locked. However, this procedure of pairing the WFS (Wireless Front System) works perfectly there; the engine starts and stays running.
I tried to delete the learning values in the MSG, but when I confirm it, I get the message: "Function not possible..."
Where could the problem be?
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Is the part number of the "new" engine control unit (ECU) identical to the old one?
Best regards, Rainer.

Hi.
It has a different index; instead of "HC" like the old one, it uses "P".
"I took this out of a wrecked 1996 Galaxy with an AHU engine, which the scrap dealer said was still running. I can take it back if it doesn't fit, but unfortunately, he doesn't have any other options."

"How can I find out the version number? My English isn't very good."
I only know that the WFS control unit is a separate component located under the MSG (presumably an abbreviation for another part).
Would this number be helpful to them?
I cannot provide any data for Linz; I am currently using an older version from 1551. Sommer: A4 B5 Avant 2,5 TDI Quattro Facelift (AKN silber)

We only bought the car two weeks ago, and it came with nothing but two keys; the previous owner didn't include anything else. Sommer: A4 B5 Avant 2,5 TDI Quattro Facelift (AKN silber)

Yes, the number might be helpful if needed  .
