Experience of APR Maps

vRS Carl:
Cheers Tony.

Just a point though my car is a Skoda vRS but hopefully the pressure sensor will be the same part.

How much are they by the way and could i replace it myself?

Carl :happy2:

tony_danza:
^^ Edited my post above to include a symptom. It was also intermittant.

The sensor will be the same, I'm 99% sure. Price and fitting I haven't a clue - all I know was it was recall notice 24m5, so maybe somone could look the details up on that and find it??

Janner_Sy:
if its the low pressure fuel sender it will be a pain in the ass but do-able yourself carl.   mine got replaced under warrantee when it went tits up requesting crazy fuel pressures or lack of at times, causing limp mode alot. 

I had a mobile RAC VAG technician fit it at my work address, however he said he would never ever do it outside of a grage again, as everything from throttle body pipes, alternator, and lots lots more had to come out to get access to it as it sits right below the bottom left of the inlet manifold. he was doing it for a few hours.

I've had APR software on all of my recent cars which finished on their Stage 2 with APR HPFP and RSC exhaust.

As others have said including Pabs and Tony I would definately concur with their thought's as the issue is more thna likely to be a hardware issue. The TFSI can be a funny beast and various problems and issues have been found out over the years when trying to extract optimum performance.
Revo I'm sure have pretty well perfected their style of code and APR have recently revised their code. I found that the APR delivery was very OE and smooth but they are quite aggressive initially which is when typically seen on APR and GIAC software. Some of this can be put down to conditions on the day or the RR used. Their V2 software has smoothed out some of this as John_O can confirm.

I sold my Edition 30 which was stunning but needed more and more investment to make perfect such as big brakes, a diff and clutch and a larger FMIC.....there goes another £4-5k...oouch!! I had the car a year but it had to go with mortgage, kids and other financial pressures I was getting fed up lashing out thousands but I was pleased with APR 's product but in reality I don't think there are huge differences between APR and Revo except the map switching.

I'm now driving a E46 BMW which has a lovely chassis and engine and is filing the gap until what I really want which is an RS4 or 996 C2 .
