RFD delete without RFD map.
« on: October 22, 2015, 06:00:10 pm »
Hi There,

I have just purchased a 2005 mk5 gti and already i have a problem with the flaps in the intake manifold.

Now i was wondering has anyone or dose anyone know how the car will run if i was to fit the flap delete kit but not get it mapped for a month or so.

Sorry for the newbe talk this is my first vw go easy on me lol.

Cheers Guys

Josh.

Engine should run but be rough when cold...
Without traction power is nothing!

It will run perfectly fine. Cold start idle is a little rough/spluttery for up to 10 seconds but after that it's fine. Get it done!

^^^ also interested in people's opinion for K03, thinking of doing a valve clean somewhen and wondered whilst in there whether to do the RFD..

Lot of people will say it's pointless. I fitted it while i had the inlet off. Definitely seems to help, much more eager and makes some lovely noises now
