Custom "retard" mapping?
« on: June 02, 2013, 09:47:22 am »
Does anyone know if its possible to map the car (revo/apr or other) so that it is impossible to drive the car hard when the oil isn't fully warmed up?

Reason is my fiancé is a bit of a girl racer and I'm pretty sure she gives the car full bore down a local dual carriage way on the way to work when she (occasionally and now rarely) borrows my car!

Cheers

Stick it in valet mode before you give the keys over?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Not sure if it's true or not  :smiley:

I'd simply tell your fiancee to drive it properly until the engine is up to temperature or not drive it at all!  :confused: :confused:

We include this on our BMW maps (135i - 335i - 335d) maps as standard, Most Bosch ECU's do have the capability of boost vs oil temp so cant see any reason why ME9 cant utilise this option.

A Valet is a guy that drives the car from the front entrance of posh places to the parking lot and returns it when you are ready to leave, as many of us wouldn't like that they give it the full beans to and from, the car can be limited in performance to app. 80km/h  :happy2:
