In a dealer - the old ECU flash / remap worry...
« on: September 06, 2011, 03:24:57 pm »

Car is in for repair. 

Can they wipe my APR st2+ mapping by reading or updating the ECU?  :scared:

Is there a current ECU update on the 2.0T FSI? There hasn't been one for quite a while.

Iv been told im due for a software update + coilpacks. And it will wipe my Stage 1. My plan, to buy a downpipe and intake, get the software update and drive straight to get stage 2. Save me £72 loading stage 1 back on  :signLOL:

Most reputable remap companies will reflash for free if the dealer overwrites it
