    Superchips Remap 1.4 TSI ACT

    Sorry guys, my bad. Whilst the predecessor of the current 1.4 TSI (with or without ACT) was a problematic lump (the old twin charge unit)- the newer generation of 1.2 and 1.4 engines have proved to be one of the most reliable of those currently on offer by the VW Group.

    Bluefin

    The manufacturer doesn't use flash counter values to verify ECU manipulation and haven't done for some time. Every remap, regardless of what the company tells you - is detectable at some level.

    [Sticky?] Name and shame your dealers

    I spent the best part of a decade working for seat, I'm now a master tech at skoda and the customer handling attitude is completely different and a hundred times better. Seat uk don't seem to share the same ethos as skoda uk, they're all about the customers where seat seemed to be all about...

    First waranty service

    air con service is recommended every 2 years. variable displacement air con compressors such as that fitted to the mk3 leon run all the time to prevent the problems of the past occurring. you'll find that until you reach the 4th service very little will actually be changed on a service.

    Testing injector deviation and fuel pump?

    testing at idle is fine. The main thing a balance test will show is how even the compression is across the cylinders.

    Remap on 184 FR due service.

    The dealers probably won't care either way but they might inadvertently expose it to seat uk if they send the diag protocol online.

    Remap on 184 FR due service.

    Nothing to do with flash counters anymore, tuners have had the ability to reset them for a long time. It's a string of code that is altered when the files are adjusted and it cannot be returned to its original state. When a scan is carried out this coding is checked and if it doesn't match the...

    Security Questions.. Preventing Car Theft - Ibiza FR 2016

    It's because of EOBD compliance that the diagnostic port must be within a certain distance from the steering wheel and require no tools to gain access. New immo components from the factory for 2015+ cars are all part coded to the vehicle but there's nothing to say this coding can't be extracted...

    Maybe a more regulated approach to the sale of the equipment being used to steal cars would be a better bet. The alarm and immobiliser systems are after all - Thatcham approved.
