Anyone got one good/bad etc there a bit of info on ukmkivs but thought I ask on here , as seems a little cheap
-
i did it on a tdi110 non pd. it was very quick. i then fitted a recon head (it needed doing anyway, nothing to do with the map) also fitted a pd130 turbo with custom turbo pipes turborevs smic, fr&r tuning large downpipe and decat and now it absolutly flies. no problems atall. search blacksmoke review on the ukmkiv site u said about. only good things said
-
That's what I was thinking , think might do the girlfriends car , she saying it's slower than normal , no faults and egr and manifold cleaned , think she just use to it , just means I be doing the clutch sooner than later
-
possibly just used to it. that or the floor mats gone under the pedal. its easy enough to do. what cars it going on?
-
110 Pd , but trying to get a couple of guys at work to get they Audi and passat too ,
Where did you get ur lead from ? I ve heard uk buyer on eBay is best ?
-
i couldnt honestly tell you. its just a galleto 1225 off ebay. it was from a uk seller though. it came with the software needed. i got stuck a couple off times but andy from blacksmoke was very helpful via emails
-
Yer on the site it's 1260/1250 , on ukmkivs is said eBay uk sellers and make sure it got an uptodate disc,
-
well if you get the lead and you find it doesnt come with software, let me know and ill send you one i used
-
I got a lead and the software comes nearly everytime I think
My version was in spanish but pretty easy to follow blacksmokes instructions.
-
Managed to brick my ECU cause I rushed it
Got andy to send me out a loan one - arrived a day later. He even put my MAP on it for me. Top bloke
I'll let you know how I get on once fitted
-
oh not good! how did u manage that? hope you sort it
-
Whoops.......
-
I think my flashing program crashed and it all went pete tong!
Well the ECU andrew sent worked fine, plug and play - and play i did!
So I've just gotta send him my bricked one - undoubtably he's got some way of reflashing it probably direct to the chip I guess
Then we have an arrangement so that I keep the one he sent out and he keeps mine as a loaning model.
Top service!

Yep that's what happened to me. Luckily Nick from R-Tech popped down to sort it out at the time :smiley:
You need another piece of kit which powers up the ECU directly and literally forces the map back on :nerd:
-
Well its all sorted
Posting my bricked ECU for repairs now..
Thanks goodness for the customer support eh :)
-
glad its all sorted for you. andy does provide very good customer service. very helpful!
-

-
