i'm assuming you do drive it with a modicum of mechanical sympathy given this is an engine your never here that many horror stories over

mines cracked 9k today, Stage 1 went on at 1k and Stage 2 at 2k and had zero mechanical issues, i'm on some aggressive settings and no clutch issues either, the only gripe is the door seals, admittedly i dont drive the door handles off it all the time

i'm always upfront with dealers about cars being modified and if they were uneasy i never use them, my dealer who supplied the car is mod friendly and has a keen interest in the car

when talking to the service manager last week he did say life would be easier if the car appeared with a stock engine file but they were not worried about the mechanical modifications, so today i popped into Revo who have flashed the stock file for a couple of weeks given VW's recent antics

my view is paying someone for the time to take the map off before you venture to VW with suspected gremlins is money well spent

Mines just hit 4k was mapped at 1k car is really looked after being serviced every 2k which is twice a year, always warmed up before being driven swiftly and cooled down after, I think I should of got a faster car in first place really and save all the hassle of running a modified car

Are your door seals creaking or is it wind noise? If they're creaking then it'll be the felt seal along the top, put some half decent wax on the body where they meet and it'll solve it, don't put that gummi pflege stuff on the rubbers! It's rubbish and makes it worse!

Why have you had it flashed with a stock file? Do you have issues?  Do you not have the SPS unit, to take it to stock?

[wigit]

there are no issues with the car Oli, i just wanted VW stock on it for its first service so it did not draw attention to itself before the intake and new file go on

[-Oli-]

Does the SPS not take it to stock then? I thought it did?

the revo stock file, they have flashed the oem VW file on so no code on the ecu, overkill probably

[-Oli-]

Oh OK, you had me worried then as mine is off for 2nd service shortly (first service was done early at 6k/6months prior to me buying it) and I will just put back to stock using SPS.

Sorry for going OT
