Warranty after reflashing.......

[blutopless2]

I had a jetta with an APR tune. Had the tune done at about 12 months old. Had the DSG replaced under warranty without question before 3 years old. No mention of the tune was made. I didn't even set it back to factory before taking it to them.

Gee I hope their servicing and diagnostics is better than their ability to find an APR tune under a warranty claim.

i'm more worried they (vw) flash our cars with the "wrong ecu flash"!!
i had to convince the vw head techo that my rs (facelift version) has the same engine tsi as the mk6 gti, and not the tfsi of the mk5 gti.
they're both different engines, requiring different software mappings.

That doesn't surprise me, before I got the skoda I had a evo 10 had some problems and the techo's told me it was my ecu that had failed yet my car still started and rain it just didn't idle properly and would stall randomly turned out was loose belts and new ecu and a few timing belts later all fixed.

Just had a VW sales type tell me the exact same thing regarding my Tig's EA888 engine & the GTI'a EA888 engine...

Worrying...

How did the jetta run with the tune? I also hope skoda are as lax then as VW with not finding the tunes

I reckon they'll find that almost impossible to do. The VW machine can't do an update unless there's one available and it goes off the ECU part number and software coding.

There's often multiple software codings floating around for each ECU. For example, I have seen 3 for the MK5 125kw diesel.

oh that's good news indeed.
glad to hear that the machine will prevent the loading of incorrect software maps, based on the ecu number

Fantastic... APR tune lifted from 147kW to 180kW. So much nicer to drive once the gearbox was replaced.

Have you done anything else to the jetta
