When ECU tuning / remapping goes wrong....

[vRSAlex]

Great info for members as always Dave 

Bad ecu work is very common, but accidental slips can still happen to the best.

running a 2.0 TSI myself, so the physical side doesnt apply, but worred about the software side of things a little tbh

I wasnt aware of my issues until i datalogged it    Between me finding out the issue and getting a complete new map did not take long at all.     Wish id have left it another day as i would have saved alot of money

The jabba map looked good I wonder what their hybrid effort wouldve been like

The Jabbasport map was very good.  I think their hybrid could and most probably would have been very good.  But when it comes to R&D, APR were the better choice.  They ahve much more resources and manpower available to do this, and it'll still take a while to perfect.  For a smaller company to develop its a big ask.

I havent heard of any tuners maps causing an issue on any tfsi or tsi engine failure of recent. My map when datalogged on the rolling road was spot on and well within safe parameters.
With any company you hear horror stories and positive feedback. All I would say is that if it happens to you. Always give the tuner chance to rectify the problem and get it documented before name calling. If it goes to a small claims court it gives you more of a case to present.

Aww fanx Dave 

Pretty much as I thought and good to see.  Those little shear bolts are tricky suckers aren't they and the breaking of the sealant is a licence to lose a digit if ever I saw one!! 

[R-tech-Nick]

I am glad I dont tune these ecus..lol  seems like to much hard work for me...  I will stick with the 1.8T & 2.0TFSI for the next 10-12years..  



Awesome video Dave   Its nice to see it being done correct with care and attention not being rushed to get the job in / out and paid £££.

I just wonder how many times you burnt or cut your fingers..

We started this at 9am and finished at 4pm, most of the time spent trying to get the boot pad working again so we could communicate without having to use the leg of the chip. Burnt and cut fingers are just part of the fun
