Remap removal

**MC09PJC** · 01-07-2015,02:57 PM

Hi... Does anyone know if a main dealer can revert a remapped ecu back to original settings so I can sell it on and the new owner not have any issues with TD1's and warranty claims...

Thinking of going back to Ultra S Tronic soon...

My understanding is even if you flash the original map back the flag will will be there.
New ecu is the only way to remove it I think

Whoever remapped it will have the original map, they should restore it FOC

Yes I could get the guy to reflash the original map back on but that would still show up as been flashed in the first place...
What oem ecu back to pre remap

If you take it to an Audi dealer to remove a remap and the car doesn’t currently have a TD1 code, it will once you get it back. The factory spec flash and/or new ECU will cost plenty, but they will supply the code for free... whether you like it or not.

From what I have read, even if you were able to have the car applied tag removed by a third party at a later stage it would still be flagged up and associated with the car on Audi’s system.

The moment somebody chooses to remap a car, they choose to remove a fair chunk of the warranty (if not all of it).

It's a one way, no going back decision.

Sorry to sound unsympathetic and harsh, but if anyone has concerns over warranty or how the lack of it may affect resale or trade in, then they shouldn't be remapping their car.

Even if you flash standard code back on, it is possible to detect that it has been done. Flash count in part of the ecu that is not writable for example. Hash of the original code and timestamp stored in write once area.

There are a million and one ways for changes to software to be detected.

Returning the car to a standard map is not a guarantee that this will be hidden from Audi.

So what you want is to have the fun of driving a remapped car, but if anything goes wrong you want Audi to pick up the bill even though you have been pushing the engine beyond their designed limits.
