ECU version?

[lavglass]

Hi every body,
I wonder the version of the ECU of my MCS. She was built on the 14th week of April.
I think it's the 32 version but I am not shure. What are the big difference between ver 32 and 33 ??
Thank you..

Missed the thread. I think version 33 came out in April followed by the up-dates 33.1 and 33.2 in May respectively June. I reckon you have version 32.2 on yours. Version 33 should take away the 1st gear stumble and surging of the motor ("yo-yo effect") some (maybe many) MCS's seem to suffer from, but opinions are divided if it really helped (most reports say it didn't give any improvement). Recently version CD34 came out, which however only contained changes for the Diesel engine. If you're not suffering the 1st gear stumble or surging problem, I wouldn't bother as you're just fine with 32.2

Over in the States, we only have about 4 weeks in April.

Whoa! A lot of folks say their MCS's never had a stumble until they loaded 33.2. If you're OK with 32 or earlier, stay there! It seems that 33.2 fixed the cold start problem, but introduced the stumble.

I believe there's a way we can test our software version, I will investigate my notes and get back to you....

I'm too interested if we can check what version of the software we have w/out having to goto the dealer... if you find out Paul that would be GREAT!

My dealer has V 35 as last SW version; Is this also the same version as with MY 2004 Mini's ??

TIA

Version 36 is now available! Just got my MCS back with the new burn from NJ. Appears to have resolved the STUMBLE! Will report more after I run it through it's paces Monday! Bart

[EBMCS03]

still needs to be sent to NJ for V.36 that fixes the stumble? Hurry hurry MINI NA... I want them at the dealers...

At my dealer (in the Netherlands), the Diagnose Computer is updated automatically during the night with the latest SW releases.

V 35 is still the latest and it seems that - for the moment - there is no later SW available.

I've heard different stories about the new software version regarding the yo-yo. Apparently this next version (36?) will not address the yo-yo. Rumor has it that a yo-yo fix will be out in December. Does anyone have more info?

cheers.

Paul, did you manage to find your notes on how to determine the installed software version ? I would like to find out before I do battle with my dealer again.

Thanks.

Thinking a loud, I bought a Cooper S with the idea of getting away from the daily chores of code and constant fixes and what happens you get a car that needs software fixes !

And they call this progress.

Paul, did you ever find out if there is a way we can check our ECU version ? Does anybody else know ?
