No Tuning For 2010 GTIs? *REVO now loaded :-)*

[KennyGTI]

Was hoping to go and get my Golf remapped tomorrow by REVO but it appears the 2010 models and onwards have an anti software tuning device on their ECUs  Only way round it is to remove the ECU!  Why did I not just order my GTIs 6 months prior!

So from what production month is this?

Blimey this is intresting stuff?? What about the GTD? mine was made in nov09!!

NNNOOOOO this cant be true

  Who did you hear that off? 
 Sounds like bullsh!t if u ask me, However I stand here ready to be corrected. There will be someway round it if it is true. Just give the tuners a month or so to catch up

[SteveP]

It's not true.

The 2010 ECU's can't be tuned via the OBD-II port.

For these cars the ECU has to be removed and re-flashed on the bench.

I know it can be done, just need to remove the ECU which involes removing the anti tamper screws. As i stated in the first post. Its a hassle and not very convenient to remove the ECU.

I spoke to REVO and  Awesome GTI and both said the same. Need to wait a few months by the looks of it.

Think yours will be OK mate, maybe just. Best call however is doing the remap and ask them. They need to get your ECU number to check.

What do you mean exactly by 2010 models? All VWs built from May 1, 2009 (and therefore ALL Mk6 GTIs) are officially classed as 2010 models.

[KennyGTI]

No, not all Mk6's as some already have remaps on them without any problems. I think its more Golfs built in 2010. From looking through different forums some are saying VW introduced this on their cars built from November 2009 onwards. But your best checking with your tuners.
