APR RSC Exhaust system - problem!

[blackthorn]

Hi guys,

Bought myself an edition 30 last week but whe i got it the engine light was on but i was told it was to do with the exhaust system, so i got it on vag com yesterday and it came up saying the cat but since its the 200 cell turbo back RSC system im thinking it could be the lambda sensor? has anyone had any problems with lambda's running this system? i.e does it need a spacer? heres my engine spec:

352bhp
360lb/ft torque
APR FMIC
APR RSC turbo back echaust
Autotech HPFP
Uprated intank pump
Evolution bov
Dblias intake
GIAC remap
Uprated paddle clutch
VWR diff
VWR engine mounts anti lift kit
VWR engine mounts


cheers,

Andy

What was the exact code?

[blackthorn]

will get my mate that done it for me to send me the codes!

[vRSAlex]

I would have thought the code was an efficiency too low code that would usually be written out in the remap.  I guess the map is a  stage 2+?

Is that cohiba's old car?

It's probably a P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1). OP can you confirm?

[blackthorn]

This is the fault code guys

Being GIAC I don't think it's been mapped out lad,

[craigy123]

Is that cohiba's old car?

Yup 

[blackthorn]

How much do u think it would cost to get it mapped out Craig?

[graeme]

If its apr then you would have 2 go to an apr supplier to get it done , at the moment as far as i am aware the only places are down in England at the moment , I know eco tune are becoming apr dealers soon in scotland so you could probably get them 2 do it shortly and should not cost you anything as u have an apr map ... might be best to contact eco tune 

[blackthorn]

I'm in the middle of contacting eco just now but having looking at my recipts the car was mapped at Autograph cars - "Autograph custom turbo charged ECU remap" how ever i will sound like a noob here as ive never owned a turbo car before, what is GIAC?

[Janner_Sy]

GIAC are a tuning company who offer remaps.  

You need to find a GIAC dealer and have them re-apply a stage 2+ remap with the LAMBDA sensor removed.

Alternately, you could go for another companies remap, if you fancy something fresh.  You'll very likely get a decent discount as well for swapping from a competitors map.

giac are not custom to the car

Star to GIAC ( so you might have to unfortunately speak to him) I may be wrong but pretty sure GIAC maps are all generic and not specific to a car or supporting mods. Get along to Falkland, speak to Kev and go stage 2+. I changed from GIACto revo and the difference was a lot.
