Aha, great mind think alike. I've texted Ant already as I'm going round his house tonight to sort out a few VCDS things for him.

Cheers for that tho!  :happy2:

Yes and no Marko. I have all my previous maps (files on laptop) but they are coded to the ECU of your car. It has it's own code (like a VIN) so they can't be used on any other car.

The point of having one of these:
- ability to load map on/off your car when you want
- STS (Self Tuning System) can hold 3 maps - standard, Eco, Performance, Race. Whatever you want/buy.
-also does basic 4 digit fault codes. Worked well on my BMW as I didn't buy the equivalent of VCDS for the 3 series.

Having an STS gives the owner 25% off a remap from Shark Performance IIRC.

Do you still need to visit a shark retailer to buy maps...reason i ask is there are none in Ireland full stop yet so it would require me travelling to uk..

You'll be glad to hear you don't need to leave your house. I think the purpose of the STS (and other similar tuning modules is that you can buy the thing online (£150 from Shark). You then plug it into your car and read the car's standard map.

Email this to Shark with your requirements (I got my EGR and catalysts mapped out on my 320d).

They will email you back the map files, all you gotta do is upload them to the STS Unit then onto you car. :-)

Summary of car up to end of March:

- 4 winter tyres (very good Hankook I*cepts) on 16" wheels. Need to switch to summers and buy new wheels (17/18").  :sad1:
- Lacquer peel getting fairly bad on the roof and bonnet. Bonnet awash with stone chips. Quoted £900 to paint wings, bonnet, bumper and roof.  :sad1:
- Turbo very close to giving up the ghost. most of the time it's intermittent (boost) sometimes works fine. No whine/noise at all!  :confused:
   Quoted £780+vat plus labour, oil and oil feed pipe.  :sad1:
- Clutch is completely out by the time you reach the biting point. Highest the clutch will go. There is no slipping but I've driven the car 7000 miles and still not used to it. New clutch?  :sad1:
- Grating noise from front suspension
- Headlights seem to last 3-4 months. Replaced for the 2nd time already!  :sad1:
- I've just sold all my cool toys (still to sell an RCD510)  :sad1:




Anyway... not that I need an excuse but I have decided to call it a day and part ways from VW...   :sad1:
