Spoken to superchips today, they have told me to revert the car to standard, leave it until Monday and see if clutch still slips. Either way to go back to them on Monday, problem is I'm noticing that it's now slipping in 5th and 6th ... am absolutely pi**ed off. It's the fact that I really enjoyed the car until the remap, like I said, 2nd gear acceleration IS slower than stock, boost doesn't peak until 6000rpm ???? I used to get managment light on at 6500rpm with old map ???? DTC central with multiple misfires, misfrire cylinder 2 & 3, and now clutch slip in 5th & 6th. Had 3 separate maps with superchips already and now on a custom map. They have told me of the ongoing and recent development on the ED30 manual and that the DSG and manual are now on par, and also that their demonstrater ED30 was pushing the limits more than their "customers maps" with no clutch trouble. They stated that there may be a problem with my clutch and that they are not aware of any customers encountering clutch issues.
The alternator pulley clutch is squeaking so it is going back to VW for a new alternator, booked it in for next Thursday and stated that the clutch is slipping in 5th and 6th, service representative (friend of mine) stated that they have only changed 1 clutch in a GTi in the last 4 years ?? And mine is slipping at 13.5k miles :scared:
I loved the car to bits when I bought in 6 months ... it's just starting to get on my wick a little now.
Am going out now to return to stock ... :sad: :sad: :sad:
