That makes sense. It's pretty much as Martin says, although twin spark is not enabled.

I think the S series may be more flexible in that it wont require the missing tooth at 60deg

From Roverdoses link to P8 instructions:

Special Considerations for Audi 5 Cylinder
The engine must have 5 coils and a 60 - 2 crank wheel at 60 degrees.
Set to 10 cylinders in general engine settings. Set unequal firing and
1 coil per plug OFF in unequal firing angles. Set sequential injection
OFF in injector phasing. You do not need a cam sensor.
Wire coils as below
O/P 1 2 3 4 5
Wire Injectors as below
Cyl 1 5 2 3 4
Cyl 1 5 2 3 4
O/P 1 2 5 6 6

All wired in now Martin..... Tried to connect with ecu to see if coils firing but yet aain i have probs.
I think its more a pc problem,Was coming up saying port in use and then i changed it to port 3 then it said connecting and ecu no power or not turned on. Fuel pump runs so ecu powering up.
Im on vista so not sur if any settings need changed.

id check with allan on the injector wiring as that is P8 info, but the idea must be the same.

check the fi-fo buffer settings are set low in Advanced com port settings in control panel. Force the USB com port to be the same as the one in DTASwin. ie both Com1 etc..

I managed to have a word with alan earlier.
Answer is to wire up coils to outputs in order that pistons hit top.
Which i think works out at 12453 but i will check later.
Injectors dont matter as they are batch firing.

Martin
When i go into device manager and click on... ports(COM & LPT) it shows
prolific USB-to-serial comm port(COM9)

After clicking that it comes up with
General
device type Ports (COM & LPT)

manufacturer prolific

location Port_#0001.Hub_#0006

Then i click on port settings then advanced...........

i can pull fifo buffers right down

It shows COM number....COM9 in bottom left.

If i use the dropdown box i can change to COM1.

Then i go into DTAswin and select com 1 from serial port options and try to connect and it always comes up saying FAILED com port already in use.

Im sure there is some settings im not doing right ?

Oh and if i choose COM3 in serial port options in dtaswin it comes up saying failed ecu not connected or turned on........all other ports say already in use.

after youve changed the com9 to com1 it should come up with a message saying that you cant do it because something else is on com1, but do it anyway and click ok, but then you must refresh, ie scan for hardware changes (selected from the top menu) and make sure that the "prolific usb serial port" has actually changed to com1 in device manager.

Try this,
