Not convinced my Ed30 GIAC Map is as it should be

[Janner_Sy]

S3 defo.  What did they offer you. If you need extensive repairs to the ed30 it might make sense to swap

[heavyd]

Was offered £9900, paid £15,500 i think it was a year ago. All depends on repair bill to be honest. If it doesn't cost too much, I'll get it fixed and sell it on private. Got me heart set on an s3 now

[chris s]

Heavyd have you problem to pdt a bout you timing pull? I seem to remember you saying you have had good experiences there

[heavyd]

It's a stock map that on at the minute Chris. I was at pdt to find out about the blue and black the car keeps randomly chucking out. He did cylinder leak test, and a few other checks for me and they were all ok. Went to another couple of garages and they couldn't find why, so taking it into Pulman Durham on Monday to see if they can find out what the problem is. If all else fails, bring on the s3
We buy any car offered £7995

I had simlar issues with a ko3 tfsi a few weeks back, it turned out to be the PVC leaking under load, puffs of smoke and continued knock control.

[chris s]

intersting to hear your PVC findings.... I was considering this as my next point to consider

[heavyd]

I fitted a bsh pcv revamp kit last week to rule that out, and it made no difference

WTF is up with your car Dom.  Maybe its not the turbo then!!  Surely a turbo on its way out wouldnt cause timing pull.  is it possible to test the knock sensors,

Thats what I would like to know, its booked in at the stealers on monday. Nearly traded it in for an S3 today, but the offered me less than I was expecting for mine
Rob you have mail

thanksDom i will compare them to my logs when i get in.
whats the spec on the s3?
i was considering an S3 or an Audi TTS but im wondering if there is a problem wth this engine?
and dont want to go down the same path again , i have had 3 years of hell so far.
how long has your car actually been having this timing pull for?

[heavyd]

I've had increased timing pull since I had the REvo DSG map installed.....
I would get it taken off for a while to see if it makes any difference, but its like throwing £350 away if it isnt that causing it

but cant they take it off and flash the dsg back to standard then reflash it foc ? like normal maps?
and if it is causing the issues maybe get a refund?

now this is what i would be interested in having tested , they could have the bolts over torqued or undertorqued and picking up engine noises or vibrations.

how easy are they to get to?

[chris s]

Well in my continued attempts to get the performance from my revo stage 1 ed30 i have now swapped back to the older type dv  and a newer type pcv  and there no improvements. So now these have been changed along with the plugs and coil packs i am stuck what do next other than invest in some serious data logging

[PDT]

Log ignition angle and Maf, boost requested and actual, ign timing pull, n75, actual and requested load, fuel rail pressure, lambda, throttle angle and pedal angle.

If you have Revo, all these should have been logged and checked as part of the installation cost.

Fook me Dom, you have had the ultimate nightmare with that car.. I thought you were all sorted at last???   I just think it's allergic to mods mate..  

Regarding timing pull, would a uprated FMIC not help? Although i'm sure you've already thought of that..   I had to drop my settings down quite a bit during the summer when mine was Stage 2+, or I would get timing pull..

If you are set on getting rid and getting a S3. I would take all your bits off (transfer most to S3) and sell privately. A CW, DSG Ed30 with good spec isn't going to hang around the classifieds for long I shouldn't think.. Plus you'll get a dam sight more than 10k for it too..

[heavyd]

I'm trying to get car sorted first before I can sell it though Ben! Had a new turbo fitted at dealers last week, on a stock map it still pulls 5.3 cf timing, with an overboost making 2230bar of boost! Stage 2 overboosts at 3020mb! So going to try and sort boost issues out before I try to sort out the timing.
Good luck getting yours sorted Chris!
