If/when this occurs I will reconsider remaps, pending finding the right insurer. I believe CMD Flashtec have something in the pipeline using an android device and a small OBDII connector, however there is no firm release date for this. The thought of having a mechanical failure and having to faff about taking my car on a tow truck to a tuners first to remove the remap before taking the car to the dealership did not fill me with much excitement.Ī remap you could conduct yourself would solve some of the above issues, however as far as I know this is not yet in existence for the S3 8V. This is of course at cost, in the region of 50-60 quid a go. However the nearest reputable remap firm to me is a 130 mile round trip, which would have to be conducted twice, once to have the remap removed and again to have the remap reapplied. ![]() Of course, if you remove the remap prior to attending the dealership and the ECU map counter is accurate then all should be ok. Once a TD1 code is flagged for the ECU it is likely that VW/Aufi HQ would refuse any warranty work related to anything related to the ECU, i.e engine, drive train etc. Once a TD1 code is flagged it can not be removed by the dealership. A suspicious tech could also work out a remap if they look at the output figures for the engine. A "TD1" warranty code can be flagged if there is a mismatch of the ECU code checksum with the OEM one. I started putting my sensible head on and looking into any issues that may arise.Įach time you attend the dealership for servicing or warranty work it will be connected up to OTIS (VAS in old money) which in turn is linked to VW's servers in Germany. However then the reality dawned, and the excitement dissipated somewhat. Great I thought, I will get my car remapped. In the last month or so several smaller remapping companies in the UK have started to offer remaps for the S3, thanks I believe to CMD Flashtec tools cracking ECU protection in September. This thread is intended for those looking into tuning options for the S3, I am in no way linked to or endorsing any particular company or tuning method, just writing down some observations and thoughts.įor the last few months I have been tracking the progress (or lack of) remaps for the S3 8v (SIMOS12 ECU). ![]()
