<< < (14/18) > >>

Hurdy:
Not what I thought it may be then.

6,300 rpm and my DSG would be gearing up :surprised:

Seems an unusual point in the rpm to dump excessive fuel!

I'll definitely be keeping up with your updates now John as it has peaked my interest.

john_o:
to be fair its 6100-6300 range.
Im not sure its excessive fuel per se, more a faulty sensor/regulator triggering a condition that the ECU doesnt like and decides to increase the fuel.
The problem from my perspective is whats a cause and whats an effect! but then I dont really have to, Ill let awesome do that.

john_o:
while we are waiting for a fix, I treat as I would my own so today the 'awesome' car got a bath....

Guys,

Hmmmmm, seems I may have the same problem with a SC remap.

UPDATE : Its fixed   :rolleye:

After a lot of diagnostic work and logging by Awesome, the route cause has been traced back to the map  :surprised:
(despite APR convinced it wasnt)

a single data value was incorrect on one of the data lookup tables.  I dont envy the sheer amount of RR time this has taken to pinpoint !
This error has been introduced in a recent map 'cleanup' according to APR (why Gaz's ED30 never did it!) revision to the map.
It also explains why the HPFP fixed the issue (unknown to me they also loaded the HPFP map), as that map doesnt have the error either.

I'm made up to have a solution, but in some ways disappointed it wasnt something else. For me its not just fixing the issue, its how its fixed and the implications from that. (e.g. how did happen, whats QC is in place to prevent it happening again etc)
I can only trust(!) that following this, APR perform a full post incident analysis (as im forced to do at my own place of work).
I am however surprised that this gets into a production file in the first place.  :sad:

What I cannot fault is the way Awesome have dealt with this from day 1, John has forever kept me informed (without prompting) and relayed info, Jim (and the team) has personally ensured that I have got a result here using the facts and hard work, where he was placed in a very difficult position between my questions, the fault and APR (Im not someone to be fobbed off without facts  :grin:). Nothing less than I expected but in this day and age sorely lacking from many.

So there you go, an honest response (* as given to me) as to what was wrong, take from it what you will.
For me, this only re-enforces tenfold my belief in Awesome and why I chose them. Top work guys  :happy2:
It also does so with APR software to some extent (not for the fault but their honesty and fixing it), but I'd be lying if I wasnt surprised at the outcome.

Yes, I would buy APR again : definitely  :happy2:

The only outstanding question is how many cars got this map? and why only me has had the issue? everyone else driving like miss daisy lol

Gareth unfortunately it isnt going to help you   :sad:
( * well unless theres some data 'sharing' gone on, which for one minute I'm not suggesting!)

Roll on Santa Pod , WhiteGTI GAME ON  :happy2:

* post remap dyno plot to follow
