Disaster :@ UPDATE

[RedRobin]

A TFSI is not a alien engine is almost the same as others, your talking like its some complicated machine its not, I said they work on loads of VW's and audis so it is in good hands there, What can go wrong if they will make sure the car is running and wll not charge me more then quoted as they have pointed out the problem to me

....Is this the same garage that did the work for you in the first place but didn't advise you about the importance of the remap?

Or did they advise you but you ignored the advice (as you ignored people's advice here about needing to drive it like a granny) and now find yourself with this problem?

The fuel would have been fine with the S3 injectors there is enough room for the ecu to correct the lambda by means of MULT fuel trims,  as long as the 02 sensor is working the fuel will be fine as its only a 13-16% gain on peak flow.

I would have said the issue was from tool much inital peak boost and heat build up.

I would have said the issue was from tool much inital peak boost and heat build up.

....And is that issue not promoted by injudicious use of the right foot?

[Sammy]

No I doubt it is because of the way I drove, just a problem that occurred from no where, What do u think nick? Hat are likely causes turbo? Fuel pump?

[james]

i do have a spare fuel pump.  i remember what my car was like when i put the k04 on,  engine did get mega hot just driving around, think this was due to the duty request.     

take your cat off and  see if the turbo is full of oil.

[Sammy]

So do you mean all my car needs is to get remapped properly to suit the turbo and injectors? You didn't get any misfires did u?

[james]

yea i did misfire, that is why i was shocked when u said u trashed it.    I could hardly move lol.   but i did have a stage 1 remap?

[Sammy]

Seriously you had misfire? That's interesting so maybe because mine is mapped to stage 2 it's causing smoke too? How did you manage to get it to r tech with a misfire on it?

[james]

well it went to amd first, as i could not drive all the way to nick as it run like a dog.

[Sammy]

What did AMD do to sort it out? Did your misfiring stop after their map? I still have a 3 week wait till am in r tech so I need a solution for this fast as r tech will not map my car how it is

[james]

well it depends on the level of misfire mate,  try to new plugs and coil packs.    if you have been trashing, i can bet you killed them also lol.


amd mapped my car first but that is a different story.

[Sammy]

Sort of a update:

Since the morning we have been diagnosing the car in different ways, We pulled out the plugs and they seemed better then the last time they were pulled out. So this time i put on some spare coilpacks on and the misfire has gone now but just like before i dont know if it will start again in a hour, I am taking it very easy for now though, and the smoke may be purely due to not being mapped yet as i can tell fuel has gone down the drain, So all the smoke could be unburnt fuel
half tank to quarter tank 30 miles driving like a granny  

[h4rdy]

So maybe after all this it may have been a coilpack?

Sounds like the garage definately knows what its doing

Even I would have changed a coilpack before a spark plug

Did they even scan it with VCDS? That would have told them what cylinder the misfire was on?

You have been given good advice on where to go from the likes of Alex, PDT, R-Tech its now your choice.

But why would you listen to me as you have not bothered with anybody else with 4k plus posts!

Good luck as you will need it!

Do your insurance know about these mods? Judging by your aversion to spending money, I'm guessing no?

I wouldn't touch your car with a sh*tty stick if I was R-Tek, they'd just be asking for a world of pain when it blows up due to lack of maintainence and you try blaming anyone who ever looked at it.
