Matt, i thought your emission light went off since you put the stage 2 back on?
MAT ED30:

Well guys ... sorry about the poor quality but this is what is happening :-
Been in close consultation with Superchips, they sent me out a custom map that resolved my "second gear" issue and reduced 30Nm of torque in 5th and 6th gears . Acceleration in second was brutal, but unfortunately the top end torque felt to have been considerably reduced. I was greatful that they had been able to restore some usuable torque to 2nd gear but was now at the detriment of 5th and 6th. The clutch slip seemed to have gone away ... but then this morning at 0700 after a night shift, clutch slip reared it's ugly head again. So .. got back on the telephone to Superchips regarding some advice. My ED30 is going in for an alternator replacement tomorrow (another matter altogether !!!) and I have told the dealer that the clutch is slipping. Only problem is that it doesn't occur when running a stock map - so they'll never be able to detect it DOH !! Hence the above video, sorry about the clarity filmed after an Eureka moment on the way back from Tesco's lol ! Superchips told me to contact them tomorrow after having had advice from the dealer. They stated that they have remapped quite a few ED30's and never experienced this problem. They also said that their demonstrator ED30 ran much more aggressive settings that those that they would supply to their customers, they had the car for quite some time and clocked up a lot of mileage in it - they stated the clutch never once evven tried to slip :sad:
Just don't know what to do am really getting annoyed ... I mean the map is either all at the top or all at the bottom and now this clutch issue, just wished I'd never tasted the forbidden fruit of a remap and remained in ignorance of the potential of remapping a BYD TFSI.
I wonder what the dealer will say, if they agree to change, which I strongly doubt they will not, would they fit an uprate paddle clutch if I paid difference ??? How harsh would a paddle cluth be - will I need legs like He-Man ?
:confused: :confused: :confused:
