Superchips told me that my car had already been mapped

<< < (5/6) > >>

vRStu:
Have you thought about contacting the previous owner?

vRStu:
Surely the previous owners details are on the V5 though??

I can’t I’m afraid as there are no tags in the file to tell me.  Yes I would say it is asking for far too much boost which it can never achieve so would suggest taking the car to VW to have them re-flash the car to factory original.

i have phoned vw in gorgie edinburgh and they say they wont touch the car as its been modified is this right or are they just being awkward ?

Just book it in for a diagnostic check at the dealers and a reflash, you dont need to tell them the map problems. think it is about 70 squid.  :smiley:

problem solved once i told superchips i was going to sell the bluefin on if i couldnt get the map on they said they could help me and they sent me a standard map then sent me the superchips map the car is not as torquey as it was before but that was obviously down to the car putting out too much boost so at least now i know whats on the car
