Fault code after remap

[gazmanvrs]

Hi all,

Had my vrs remapped couple of weeks back now. Having a bit of investigation after funny read outs on the Dyno. ( personal think the guy mugged me off)

Anyways getting a fault code up since I've had the remap. Is this common after a remap or is something wrong.? Or a Red herring so to speak.

who did you get it remapped by?

[gazmanvrs]

A local garage by me is a custom code retailer.

Pretty common with remaps from that provider. To the right of that picture you've taken it will show a 4 digit software version number, if you compare that number to the one printed on your ECU case under the bonnet, you'll find that they don't match.

Your ECU may be something like 038906019LA in large letter, and 5405 (guess) in small letters. Compare those numbers to the ones you see in VCDS and you'll see that they don't match. To fix the error code, the car needs to be flashed with the correct version of software.

Sorry to say it, but don't say we didn't warn you...

That is truly shocking!

That is shocking.

Doesn't said company import the altered maps into the original file?

[gazmanvrs]

FFS.

Some people saying its common after remaps. Others saying don't say I didn't warn you??? This shocking???? WTF.

Forget it

That fault code is only common when the wrong version of software has been uploaded to the car.

I was merely commenting on the fact that your car has been flashed with software that doesn't match your ecu. As shark explained, this is what is causing your fault code.

Hardly an A1 service from the tuner involved is it.... :no:

Don't be like that mate, we've all just

been trying to help.

Our opinions are just that, opinions.

Listen to the nice man from Shark as what he's saying is fact.

He plays with ecus all day long.

Whatever has been done to yours can be reversed, just go

somewhere reputable to get it sorted.

Custom Code lock the ECU, only CC can read it until it's put back to standard.

Oh well that's fkd that then. Doh!

Nothing's unreadable. Returning that car to standard and remapping it would be no problem.

[gazmanvrs]

I'm annoyed. Because I feel like something isn't right.

Shark-90. Thanks for your information. Numbers don't tally up.

Will be firing some fu£ks into CC.

Thing is my car goes like 💩. Just that aftermath. Having it Dyno tested and fault codes.

It appears I underestimated the shark wizzard!
