Yeti-RS

see the pic here, thats the ECU open........ cant be read. so NOBODY can remap it

the exploit was quite simple. the code was stored on one part of the board and then passed to the main chip everytime you switched the car on. there was a solder point on the board which you could hook up a machine to and it would read the code as it passed to the ECU.......... it was essentially a design flaw. this design flaw has been removed, so no its not looking good :(

the future aint bright if i heard right, they are looking into making complete APR ECU's to swap with the stock one as its impossible to pass the encryption. why oh why did i buy a new VRS, should of bought a 2nd hand Golf R, there was a sweet one there on saturday and i came to the conclusion that its possibly the best car in the world.

saw your car sitting there in the snow on saturday, snapped steering rack and no end of transmission problems right?

exactly what i meant. Evan is vice president of APR and thats what he explained to me!

mine hasnt used a drop in 1500 miles, stop start city traffic and long distance at 70mph+

On Saturday i drove down my 2013 Fabia VRS to APR in milton keynes. Anyway long story short, my car has the MED 17.5 which has been kicking around for a while now. It is a varation they have never seen before, the loophole that tuners have been exploiting to access the ECU has been closed...... 1024bit encryption which if ur a geek you would know that this isnt something you can just crack. They are going to have to buy a whole ECU from VW and try to hack it, could take hours could take months :( Evan knew about VW closing the loophole in future models, its so bad that they are considering making whole new ECU's for the new MK7 golfs and future gti's which will obviously have locked ECU's. so if you have a 2013 model VRS, double check with the tuner before making the journey. Obviously they will find a way eventually, but at the moment theres nothing :(

thats one of those cheap chinese ones, about £180 online. Thinking about one myself..

not as much torque as a stock mk6 gti, plus the gearbox isnt as nice as the 6 speed DSG in the gti either.......... but for 14k loaded with extras i cant complain.

amazing, please share more details!

I drive alot with this gearbox and carry heavy loads. I get the same violent judder as well, i have concluded it happens after getting hot, once you turn the engine off for a few minutes and take off again the judder disappears. I assume this is because of the dry clutches, its quite common for them to do that when they get hot.

I suggest trying the 2.0t A5, it will be quicker than your octavia because of the VVT. The bigger Audis share the same engine as your VRS but with variable valve timing added, which gives the engine a significant boost in torque over the regular 2.0t in vws and skodas. they come with 350nm of torque stock and remap to 475nm+. So the midrange in the 2.0t A5 should be exactly what you want

Yes, your car is the best once again!

Where did you hear this, i have information showing the opposite.
