    Remapping via OBD is possible on new A3s - MY11 1.8TFSI

    basically as i understand it, its the same ECU and some have the security present and others not, if it is present the ECU has to be removed and opened, my worry with this is that i am pretty sure they use ant-tamper screws, paper seals, etc etc so can tell if the ECU has been opened. Also i...

    Remapping via OBD is possible on new A3s - MY11 1.8TFSI

    In fairness this is nothing new, you still need to remove the ECU first to bypass the code, from then on you can use the OBD port to change files. I am pretty sure Superchips offer this, i.e. they remove the ECU, do the needed changes, replace it, then the OBD can be used. I don;t like the idea...

    AMD Stage 2 TDI - Completed

    tbh mate it sounds like they do now know what is going on, i feel your pain, it's a nightmare when the people who are doing the work are not able to sort it or even offer a reason for the problems !. I guess they have done this conversion before ?, if so sounds like there might be something...

    Anti tune measures in MY10 Audi's??

    this applies to all companies, i am not sure if they share the method of decrpytion but everyone will have to solve it to map the new Bosch ECU. From what i hear Superchips crack it themselves, however, not sure if this means waiting/paying a tech from the net to do it, or maybe one person sells...

    Anti tune measures in MY10 Audi's??

    The situation is that Bosch who make the ECU's every few years change the encryption algorithms in the ECU to stop tuners changing the maps, its standard practice every so often, the tuners then have the break the encryption to be able to tune. Once they have done it it's ok for a while, this is...

    FAO REVO RE: Buying SPS / Remap / Anti Theft

    I tend to agree, my bigger worry is them coming into my house looking for the keys, by setting a house alarm etc and moving the keys upstairs i feel i have done enough, if they decide to come upstairs looking for them with the alarm blasting and me in the house, sh1t they can have them !!, they...

    FAO REVO RE: Buying SPS / Remap / Anti Theft

    Hi mate, nightmare to hear about the car being taken, more of i worry i guess is that they came into the house when you were there !!, regarding the SPS question, surely this is no better than hiding the key ?, to prevent them taking it you would need to hide the key and the SPS, seems like...

    DSG Gear Stick Top

    Has anyone changed the gear stick top on their DSG ?, i have a 2010 Sline and it has a gear stick top that would not look out of place in a 1970's Jag, the button on the side is so big it redicuous ! lol. Does the DSG S3 have the same one ?, My old Golf GTI DSG had a really nice small gear top...

    S3 Stronic Query

    hmmm, not sure many people would agree that a normal auto is better than a DSG, but hey each to their own, some people like Katy Price, each to their own mate ! lol As for Ferrari, well it was not long ago that the press were insisting that the only way to go was manual as the automated manual...

    S3 Stronic Query

    I don't really think its just the fast changes that make it better than a normal auto, the lack of the torque converter is a massive plus, non of that slurry pull aways etc. To me it feels like a manual box but without the clutch pedal, where as a conventional torque converter auto, feels, well...

    S3 Stronic Query

    DSG is fantastic, much prefer to a manual, sure it needs to be driven slightly differently, and this slight hesitation people are talking about is there, but i think its best of both worlds, on the paddles, better than a manual, and in D better than a Auto !:rockwoot:
