Hello, 1st post. Had my Ed30 for 2 weeks. Always planning to get a re-map, but the current Revo offer brought that forward... Had Revo Stage 1 done at VAG Technik in Henley on Weds. Very good initially, but quickly developed a misfire on full throttle across the rev range, with exhaust warning light flashing. A quick scan of this & other forums and I feared the worst...
Back to VAG Technik first thing on Thurs and a test drive confirmed the misfire but no fault codes showing. Sean at VAG Technik suspected fuel pump issue and offered to take the car in next week for a new fuel filter & fuel pump follower at no cost. I mention this because his approach was brilliant throughout and he clearly wanted to get the car running right, even though the problem could have been unrelated to the re-map. Full marks and highly recommended as a result.
I agreed and Sean put the car back to the stock map in the meantime. But on the drive home, it was still misfiring on the stock map. Straight back to VAG Technik and Sean dropped everything to check for fault codes again. This time it showed a dud coil pack on cylinder 3. New coil pack fitted within an hour and problem solved. Simple.
So, conclusions:
1- VAG Technik in Henley are highly recommended
2- There can be a simple explanation for misfire problems after re-map ...
3- ... But these don't necessarily show up initially on diagnostics
And a question:
- Any recommendations for tyres for a Stage 1 remap (car came with Avon ZZ3s, which I'll be changing). While wheel spinning in 3rd is quite entertaining, I'd like a bit more grip.
