I am 100% sure my r-tech map was limited until the oil was hot.

i think my Leon Cupra R (CDLA Engine) has this as standard


for first 3-4 minutes it wont boost at all even a slight amount and then it wakes up

All our high power maps for 1.8t and tfsi limit the power when engine temp/ oil if cold.  Car feels flat as a fart for first 6-7mins of driving from cold.

I've been told you should wait for the oil temp to reach 76 before going over 3000rpm - this normally takes 9-10 minutes as I always do it - is this not correct??
If it isn't, please give me the correct info.
To be honest I don't care whether a valet gives my car full beans as long as the oil temp is up there.
I can't understand how valet mode would work, unless it didn't allow you to rev over the 3K threshold??  :confused:

I would imagine a reduction in fuel and boost until oil temperature equals a certain value.

That's pretty smart :) A mate took me out in his Clio Sport and pointed out that it does similar...just as we failed to overtake an artic on a dual carriageway  :jumping:

I was told it was load rather than revs that damage a cold engine, so a light throttle and 3000rpm should be fine, WOT up to 3000revs is what does the damage for example

 :grin:

When I had APR on my car it certainly wasn't limited in anyway shape or form in terms of boost. You could boot it from cold if you wished. :confused:

I'm not saying anyone is lying here as i'm sure some geek could do it. But how do you impress a customer, especially when they do trial maps, after his/her car has been flashed. I've never heard anyone say "had my map flashed today and after I had took it on a 10 minute warm up I gave it  :driver: and it was mega :happy2:"
