I need some urgent advise :sad:
Just an hour ago I had a warninglight "Tyre-presure"...so I was in the direct neighbourhoud of a VW garage and brought it in.
Tyres were checked malfunctions where read out and everything allright so they reset the warninglight (I guess via the glove-compartment)..
Now here it comes I drove towards home and would swear before a judge that I have powerloss... :shocked:
I went in immediately and asked if they noticed I have had an ABT remap....their answer was we did not touch the motormanagement and by the way since your ABT is official it is registrated with all the VW garages....so not possible
Can somebody who is familiar with this....ease me down and tell me it is just my imagination playing havocs..... :sad: :sad:
-
I think that probably most of you cannot be bothered to inform themselves with this.... :wink:
Anyway good news for the "Legal/Official Remappers"....whenever they take their cars in a VW garage they are safe ...because your car is registered as a remapped car and protected from overwriting. You only mention your registration number and Bob is your uncle...
Got this confirmed today by 2 dealers...
The car drives good again...I think due to the warm weather (both car and me) and some bad events at work etc etc..... :sick:
I must admit I want a holiday....I am pretty wound up lately... :evil:

Relax my Dutch friend. Holland is in the final.
Your car is fast enough to make a speedy getaway to and from Germany. :laugh:

Speaking of yesterday evening.....My GOD what did that whistle take long......I was having my cushion for a snack.... :laugh:
I am relaxed now :lipsrsealed:....but wait another 15 minutes and I will be gone again....for the first time in my life I want those Germans to win... :evil:
Anyway my car on the way back was able to toy with a white Sirocco so all is well in the camp again.... :cool:
I am investigating a drop in filter panel...I most certainly will get it...... even if it is 1 BHP it is welcome......I admit this is addictive... :embarassed: :smiley:

I will probably eat my sofa. I really want Germany to win as I def feel they have played really great football so far. I think the Spaniards are an arrogant bunch and deserve a good licking. SEAT don''t compare with VW do they?

Right you that is our affiliation over and done with :wink: how could you possibly want those awful Germans to win. Spain play far nicer footie and although their cars cannot compare I think the Germans are more arrogant.

Now stop having a tantrum or I won't let you spank me! :grin:
The Germans are the underdogs in this game and they deserve my support. :rolleyes:
I will admit the Spaniards are the better side and play beautiful football. :lipsrsealed:

Here we go, here we go, here we go
Rule Espana, I have a bet on Spain winning the World Cup on Sunday, and I really think that they can and will do it.
If Spain don't do it I will spank you til tears weep from your lil peepers.

I think you two need a "reflash" :grin:, never mind the GTI
-
I think we need to hire the men in black to take care of the lot of you.....
A pity the Germans lost now we miss the opertunity to beat them and become Weltmeister now we also got ourselves a much stronger opponent... :sad:
I did not find the German chaps arrogant at all....anyway they won't do any harm to me in Germany since I am driving their car.... :cool:

Seeing as you asked the only way to "accidentally" remove a remap is if a firmware upgrade is added to the ECU during a service. Thats the only one I know of but thats not say there are more.
The Spanish going to ruin you Dutch lot btw :D
-
Thanks for both answers.... :laugh:
BTW
The (ABT) VW-remappers do not have that problem :cool:
-
Well, you shouldnt have that problem if you tell them your car is remapped and you dont want a firmware upgrade. My car wont go within 2000 yards of a VW dealer so I also dont have this problem ;)
-
...yeah just tell them...shure...and pigs will fly... :angry:
You are the lucky one if you have the luxury to avoid (VW) garages :wink:
-
...yeah just tell them...shure...and pigs will fly... :angry:
Oh yeah, I totally agree, hence using the word shouldn't. Thats the problem with new cars, you need to have a bit of service history from the dealer which I never really understand. The service and level or work I get from my independent VAG garage is x100 better than what VW ever gave me, not to mention he is considerably cheaper.

Almost thought I went into a different forum----?match.com
I do find most indies got miles better 'engineer' than those factory trained technician! However, if you don't stamp your book with main deaper stamps, no one wants to buy your car!
This is why I probably go for the Bluefin--I wouldn't need to worry about the stealer reflahing my remap!
-
Just get them to write it down on the service sheet when you take it in for service. If its written down and some muppet still re flashes it you can get VW to foot the bill for getting it re remapped (:D).
