Idle speed and coldstart issues on Edition 30..Terraclean to resolve..

Now you know why I don't like Supper&chips maps Steve.

Now you know why I don't like Supper&chips maps Steve.

 

I questioned them and asked what file do I have on my device and was abit shocked.
I then had to proove that I did indeed pay for an upgrade as he didn't believe me that I had when I told him I should have it.

Fortunately I found a bank statement in case they Said I never payed, but fortunately they agreed'd to resend the stage 2 file.
The mistake was made when I asked them to amend my map with an issue in MAY 2011 ,which I've since replaced various items to cure the problem, so I thought I was running a stage 2 turned down map, but instead they had just given me back a stage 1 file unbeknown to me

I can confirm after logging, I'm suffering with no misfires when underway with my current misfire issue, so nothing's gonna go bang for the time being. I can live with the odd misfire at idle as it has improved since put these cans of Wynns through the engine, and I'm sure this odd misfire is down to Carbon build up.
I've heard JKM recommend something to clean injectors out with (SNP) ?? Which might be worth filling the fuel tank with to see if that helps.Apparently it's not uncommon for these engines to have the odd misfire, so I will just keep an eye on it for the time being, as with me still being off work with my back injury, I can do without the expense right now.

If the cold start running issue gets worse then need to get it sorted ASAP.

At least you don't have these lights on



Kinda knew it might do it again hence I was doing some full boost testing earlier. Time to get AKS Alex to change another part on the R!

Well found out the answer as to why my thoughts of 220.8 on the MAF were low, and that was because of an "amendment" to my remap back in may 2011, when I asked Superchips to "tweak" my remap, what they had actually done was put my car back to Stage 1 without telling me..

So means my car on current config with my Twintake installed exactly 1 year ago, means that my car has never had stage 2 !, in other words I've been running stage 1 for a very long time!

It now has stage 2 and now goes even better especially higher up the revs now.
Still have an injector on number 4 cyl that's misfiring a handful of times on tickover though,but not a biggy.
I also at the same time changed my spark plugs to a spare set of NGK iridiums I had to rule out a dodgy plug.

Gonna keep an eye out for a spare injector in the mean time.

Well...let the good times roll now, right?

Get rid of sh*tty supper chips... You will not regret it.

I can confirm stage 2 now on the car is very good rich.. MAF now says 305bhp.. Not worth spending £500 on another type of software for the same end result 

As Superchips always say " it's not the software, it's a fault elsewhere". Well I can safely say they got that right 

Helps if it was on the car in the 1st place

... or 300 at R-Tech.

I very much doubt Nicks map would be the same result either  - its the area under the curve thats important

Little Update.

After giving it some thought as to what to do next to cure my Lazy Number 4 injector, I've decided to book the car in have a Terraclean done to her.
The misfire I have is only really apparent on Cold starts for the 1st minute and also after long periods of idling.
After seeing this on Discovery with Ed China giving it the thumbs up, and looking at cost over replacing injector and cost of few hours labour at jkm(my nearest TFSI specialist) it's worth giving this a whirl.
Turns out I have a local dealer of this on my doorstep in Hamble (1.5 miles from me)
Incase anyone hasn't seen about Terraclean..

Car is being done Tomorrow now at home around 1pm, so watch this space for results which being one of the 1st may be quite interesting.

I cant access the link (as i'm at work  )

Does this clean the inlet side of the engine as well or is it just a fuel system clean (like a posh redex / Forte)?

Does it a lot better by the looks of it 

Does the lot from fuel rail to exhaust cat..

I'd advise a watch of the video when you get home gray... Looks like a great answer to our cars Achilles heal.

If it's injected with the fuel then it can't clean the inlet side of the engine.

Thanks,

Yeah I will have to watch the video. Read some reviews and folk seem to rate it. 

Just out of interest have you tried a throttle body adaptation to cure your misfires?

Yes, and its not that or I'd have multiple cyl misfires which I don't 

[Saintsteve]

If it's injected with the fuel then it can't clean the inlet side of the engine.

If it cures my injector issue which means if its a fuel substitute ,then happy days. It promises low HC and better engine performance and economy , then £90 well spent
