14 days money back guaranty if your still not 100%
ECO or performance maps.
etc
etc ..


So now the good bit... Were running the offer for £280 all in ..The only car's that are more are one'w with twin ECU's... You know who you are ...!

Ok there are cheaper re-maps out there... Buy cheap shoe's get sore feet !:biglaugh:

The web site will be updated very soon if your car is not listed please ask drop an e mail (info@motechperformance.co.uk (info@motechperformance.co.uk)) ..

this offer is for Vwaudi forum only.. We can offer a mobile service but yet again please ask.

Thanks Mike..

Hi, do you know anything about boost creep on the 1.9TDI PD turbos? I hear there can be issues under heavy load / high gear high speed due to either the small turbo not being able to cope with the higher exhaust gases or the higher boost limit is exceeded for longer than recommended. Could you shed any light on this at all as one of the forums reputable tuners? my exsiting map (not a motech) is possibly being returned to standard due to an overboost issue and as a result may be looking for an alternative tuner.

[motechmike]

Its either has a vnt issue where the demand cannot be met? Or it has been tuned to a certain amount of boost that the turbo cannot physically meet at a given point. If the software is done correctly then you should not see any errors unless you have a sticking vnt mechanism.
Neg or pos deviation errors can be caused by a sticking vnt, boost leak or being poorly mapped. The boost creep line is something a dodgy tuning company may use to dodge the blame I suspect!!:zx11:
Its hard to tell with out seeing the file in the car.. But the ECU cant put it self back to stock..

I had my car remapped in Lancashire and I have to say it's the best money I spent. I'd been thinking about it for ages then decided to go for it.

I keep the oil and filter changed regularly and ensure top fuels with some Forte and Millers (not at same time :p) to keep things clean. Since the map I've had zero exhaust smoke, smoother linear acceleration, more torque in the mid range and some nice poke to overtake. MPG increase from 38 - 42 local and 51 - 56 on longer runs. No brainer!

Mine was a 165bhp map with a modest increase in torque. I believe that if you drive sensibly there are no ill affects to the clutch.

Any over boost problems will be a sticking VNT as Mike suggested or a dodgy map.

Cheers Mike, some interesting info there. I'm waing for my vag.com to arrive now so I can do the correct checks for the VNT actuator etc to see if that's a cause. I would have thought it was ok, based on driving style, the car gets to higher revs, which I'm lead to believe keeps the soot from sticking to the vanes. It also holds vacuum in the hose leading to the actuator an dmoves freely when revved. Haven't checked it when driving though, just revved from idle. The car has also been to a higher speed when stock, only noticed issues after map but could be coincidence. I've changed most of the vacuum hoses, the top intercooler pipe (starting to perrish with a split, but not right through). Also replaced intercooler pipe that goes into EGR valve as some play in the lugs, and replaced EGR valve as very leaky and was pretty gritty inside. Still overboost though. :confused: Is the hose to the EGR actuator supposed to hold vacuum at all times or just to close the flap inside the valve?

I did return to the tuner and they couldn't spot anything in the map. The boost limit was then raised to 1.6 bar. Requested is set at 1.4bar. Do these figures seem ok and does 180BHP and 450NM seem acceptable in terms of tolerance? My car put out 148BHP before the map, having had a 2.0T exhaust added. In terms of going back to stock ECU, I'm concidering this as an option with the existing tuner and then looking to source an alternative if the problem goes away when back to stock. I have also wondered if the exhaust is an issue it's self, too much back pressure or something, although I assume not as it's the same design as the Milltek option for my car, just mild steal and smaller tips.
I must say that I am in no way slagging my exsisting tuner off yet, as it hasn't been confirmed the map is the issue.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Where are you based too?

450Nm on a 1.9pd...? :naughty: Yowser. Is that on a stock clutch setup?

(I tried a remap recently and loved the extra pull through the gears, but 370Nm @ 2000rpm on full boost and full throttle set up a nasty flywheel judder... so I had it mapped back to standard while I have a re-think. And before anyone suggests that's not a nice way to treat the car, I'll just point out that it's a fairly common motorway driving scenario ;))

Clutch was replaced 5k miles before the map, so 'I think' all is well there. I was told there was a lot more power in the car, but the clutch wouldn't like anymore than that. How does the flywheel judder feel? I'll keep an eye on that.

It may well be getting set back to standard too, whilst I have a re-think.

Hopefully Mike will be able to answer my questions. He sounds like he has a great experience with this, which is reassuring. Motech sound like a good company to use, so I may be looking this way in the near future.

You'd know by now if it was a problem, I think. I didn't notice on my first test drive because I was too busy grinning at the wall of torque right up past 3000rpm. But when I reverted to my calmer, saner 'change early and make use of all that low-down torque' style of driving, I found that booting it at around 2000rpm generated a nasty judder that shook the whole car and caused the gear stick to wobble around like crazy :aargh4:

Not good.

I've heard people say you shouldn't drive like this - but the point is that 2000rpm corresponds to about 45mph in 4th and 60ish in 5th in my car, and I drive a diesel so I don't have to stir the gears if I need to (say) change lanes and get a move on. In other words, exactly the kind of day-in, day-out scenario that resulted in severe transmission shakes with my remap.

I've since done a bit of research and established that it's a far from uncommon problem, though not one that affects all remapped cars by any means. That's why I was curious, because 450Nm sounds to me like a huge torque gain for an otherwise unmodified pd. Is that measured, or quoted?

Either way, if your car doesn't feel like it wants to shake itself into a collection of component parts when you floor the throttle at lowish to middling revs, you'll be fine :biglaugh:

[Marc1]

Cheers for the info SebRogers. I've not noticed this shudder and as you say, as severe as it that, I would notice by now. The increase was measured on a dyno. I had a B7 2.0T twin exhaust put on first, then dynoed - it put out 148BHP on the first run before the map with 335NM torque. Like I say, cltch is new though.

However I'm now having overbost issues under heavy load, so seeing if Mike can help out with advise, I'll then get the current map removed if it proves to be the cause. Just don't know yet!

[whiteakita]

i have a remapped a4 tdi 130pd and i have a judder under 2000rpm without flooring the car, even when i accellerate normally i get a judder all the way upto 2000rpm then it goes , is that flywheel judder ?
if so i will have to keep the revs above 2000rpm.
