6WB problem

hi all

friend of mine got 6wb (second hand); his car was badly coded to start with. I fixed (so I think) most of errors ie VO still said 6wa. He has famous RED DOT in cluster. which i am struggling to get rid off.

I checked fahrgestell_nr_rda in KOMBI and it has his cars vin inside; picture in below.



I did however run vin report from esys and I got below which i think is the reason why red dot is there in first place; see below



I would believe that reason for three VINs in that is; swapped engine; swapped EDC and obviously cluster. appreciate your help

It's most likely the eeprom vin not matching. For 6wb I need a certain eeprom reader. I used r270 for 6wa but don't think it'll work for 6wb but that most likely the problem.

Do not need 6WB in VO to work properly.

You need to flash cluster after vin change.
