WOW
Thanks illyun for sharing the information freely without bias.
Keith/JKM your attention to detail, persistence and attitude shine out as how it should be done
, I just wish you were nearer
The implications and theoretical widespread nature of this issue are
1. Why has it never been reported or seen before ? given the number of sensors that have probably been replaced on 'odd' cars?
2. I assume this means that ANY car getting a remap has to be assumed to be running a potential problem (if due to be remapped).
Therefore fuel trim adjustment / AFR has to be checked , and if its way off (-15% trim , x:1 ratio etc) then the sensor part number reviewed?
Most remap companies DONT do a rolling road so would never spot the condition, and i guess if the car isnt driven hard enough it wont show a problem either!
Even VCDS will show ok fuel pressures!
Im assuming the car now never shows the 'above 130 bar spikes' it used to?
Be interesting to see how VW respond.
[MODS : can move this to a discussion thread to keep illyuns original post clutter free ???]
