Afternoon

Does anyone know if the Fabia vrs has the same standard map as a golf 1.9 Tdi 130 as its the same engine? Going to have to take the remap off mine as not having very much interest in selling it and just wondering what options i have and if a VW dealership could do it?

Thanks

Maps are all different, the best way to get a map off is to go back to whoever put the map on. Before mapping they usually take a file copy of the map already on the car should you want to remove it or have issues.

so does the fabia Vrs not have a standard map?

yea the one that came on the car........

find it hard to believe every fabia vrs has a different map. Will see what the dealer says when i call them tomorrow.

Yes, but its not the same as a golf one, also the map is tied to the ECU, and you cannot simply apply any map. Normally remaps are done by reading the current standard map including the ECU data, editing it and reflashing it back to the car. You cannot easily take a map, even from another standard car and flash it.

The problem i have is that i dont know who remapped the car as it was done when i bought it. Will a Skoda dealer not be able to flash it back to a standard map?

We can't flash a lot of the Fabia stuff, the ecu programs are on CDs still and might not cover the vRS.

Not good :'(

There are thousands of ecu programs so we couldnt have them all, we only have them if they have produced an update.

Most tuners will be able to reflash it back to standard for you. I'm unsure of your location but we can do it for you if you'd like.

Would depend I guess if they can read it I guess with regards to scramblers etc depending on when and where it was done.

take it to skoda...

ask them to update to the latest software... may blag it for not much pennys

The only time a problem would arise is if there's a physical chip had been fitted with an encryption board but that went out of fashion around 2001/2002.

Hi

I'm from Chester in Cheshire? You anywhere near?

We're in Mansfield so it would be a drive over the tops for you

Yeah bit of a drive that's. Thanks at least I know it's possible to put back to standard.

just tell any prospective buyer its standard...

yes but then when they have a drive of it and put there foot down. Its quite easy to notice.

not if you havent driven one before

Spot on

I couldn't tell that my ibiza was mapped when i bought it. Seems a lot of hassle taking a map off, when you could just tell the potential buyer it has a 'healthy engine' so to speak!

i bought a standard one from skoda in 07

turns out it had pd160 intake

green cotton filter

and remap
