oil cooler replaced car came back no map?
« on: August 20, 2013, 07:13:13 pm »
Hi guys wonder if any one has any ideas what happened
Took my car to garage to have oil cooler replaced and when I collected car was driving like no remap or worse than standard car !!
The car has a r tech remap , itg intake and precat delete and was running perfect before went to garage today!!
Spoken to garage and they said they would have a look tom just wondered if anyone had any ideas because changing oil cooler should be easy job and not affect r tech remap or anything

Thanks in advance alex

If it was a VW garage then it's possible they updated your ecu software without informing you and wiped your map.
Without traction power is nothing!

That won't affect an R-Tech map.

It sounds like VW have updated the ECU  :sad1:

By way of update , car sorted , mechanic said was computer error and code cleared , think he talking rubbish in front of his boss , I think was a pipe left of as no boost his boss agreed
Anyway all good now , thanks for replies
