How did you get on with the roll back Mark, and the 9978 file ?

Roll back went without a hitch, now on 9970 software. Didn't have the car long enough to compare much, post injection has stopped completely unless a regen is active. I'm happy and got an oil change planned for Saturday along with gearbox oil and wipers while I'm in there. Its worth it to avoid the oil dilution alone to me! 

Thats good news, I am sure you will notice a difference, interesting you are now back to 9970.  Did the tuner pull that info off a database, or the label on your ECU ?

I have noticed the post injection issue myself, when driving around normally with no passive regen happening I am often getting Post Injection.  Only seems to stop on a good long run when I am getting passive regen occurring.  Oil change is a good idea for sure....  Thanks for the update

The 9970 was confirmed by the guys on the Facebook group and is one of the later non fix files. I used to get post injection on all 3 boxes when monitoring via vag dpf. Now 0, so that's an improvement. The FB group has loads of verified people. So I'd just get it done ASAP. 

 

Genuine service parts aren't expensive via TPS so I'll probably just do 2 oil changes a year regardless. 

 

Cheers,

The Admin on the FB page seemed adamant that there was no pre-fix file available for my car on the 9978 file.....would rather do my own checks before challenging again as I know the guys on there are very well versed on the subject.  Going to make contact with a couple of the well known tuners up here for their advice.   Yep, oil changes are cheap in the grand scheme of things, sounds like you are on the right track for reliable motoring now...!

Just to clarify my 2 files that I've been running.

I've been recommended Devil Developments in Littlehampton which aren't too far away. After speaking with their tuner I think I will most likelt go with those. They said the map will overwrite any EA189 changes anyway and increase power to around 180bhp.

 

If I go ahead with it I'll leave a review as I can't find much in the way of feedback on their VAG diesel mapping. Thanks for all the advice so far. 

 

Did you go to Devil Developments. They're local to me so interested in any feedback

No, they were oblivious to the rollback issue and seemed happy a remap would remove all the symptoms. This is against all other advice I have found online. So I wanted the rollback more than anything else. In the end I went somewhere else.
