Has anyone remapped a brand new car?

Featured Replies

Last time I asked about this it isn't possible on a diesel as the codes in the mapping changes from car to car, whereas the petrol one doesn't, so can be remapped.

Best thing for the Yeti is to have the Haldex 4 updated controller to change the amount of split between the front and rear.

Doesn't help and Octy though :rofl:

Yes you are nearly correct but we had 2 1.8 octy petrol which we had to open up and unlock the ecu but mostly diesels that need unlocking.

Sorry, my post was referring to the DSG gearbox, not the engine.

If we do a online ecu update it will wipe the map and lock the ecu again, and the only way to remap is to open the ecu up and unlock it again in order to install the map once again.Thats what we were told by revo when we started on the new gen ecu fitted to the fl octys and fabia.

That doesnt sound good. Might not bother re-mapping it if its this much hassle. Pity Skoda doesnt offer a factory approved re-map like Audi and BMW do. I know they are more expensive but at least it avoids any issues and the chance of it being wiped by an update.

Shark has a device IIRC called an STS which allows you to switch between standard map and power map.

I was told by them that this is not available for my car at the moment.
