my so called remap :)

[krisbutler02]

hi my car was remapped by you in 2005 and have a custom stage 2 remap 198.9 bhp @ the wheels

one problem now is that vagcom is saying that its only requesting 0.8-0.9 bar boost so the remap is not working properly any more is there a cause for this my boost gauge says 11- 12 psi , and holds that

vagcom also says that i need a coolant sensor and a lambda probe would these make it not ask for more boost

most people say 20 psi is normal for this power and that 12 psi is way way 2 low

my registration is X575 NGF

[truCido]

before Jabba jump in and say anything....chances are its a problem with a sensor, N75, MAF, pipe leaking boost, pipe popped off or something like that...

The remap wouldn't just suddenly change its settings to lower your boost it would be a problem with your car

[krisbutler02]

all pipes are good ,the ecu is only requesting 0.8-0.9 boost so the n75 isnt at fault ive just taken it to badger5 and he said its not remaped to 200 bhp atall but i have printout :( i just want my power back lol

ohh and i have reicipt for remap if u need it jabba

[truCido]

fair enough obviously trust Bill to know what he's on about.

I take it from the way you've worded things it used to boost correctly?

[Damoegan]

Even if there is a dodgy maf, n75, slit pipe ore something the ecu should still be requesting a specific boost, might not reach it though.

[krisbutler02]

yeah well its requesting it and getting what it requests fine so no leaks etc

[Damoegan]

Well if its hitting requested well I'd either say the requested is too low of there is a problem with the timing.

[krisbutler02]

yeah thats what im saying surely the map isnt working right as its requesting low

[Damoegan]

Yep, but lets at least give Jabba a chance to reply and/or resolve the problem before we start saying bad things mate.

[krisbutler02]

sounds like a plan

ive heard mainly good things about jabba ,it could just be a sensor putting ecu into a kind of safe mode or summut

just not limp mode

[Damoegan]

Have you had it vag-com'ed mate to see if there is ant fault codes?

[krisbutler02]

yeah read 1st post :)

[Damoegan]

Sorry dude, its all these flu tablets I've been taken.

[krisbutler02]

haha no probs :)

[GazM]

I'd say you need to fix the faults that are being reported first. If they're putting the car into limp mode then there might be nothing wrong with the remap. The ECU won't request full boost if it thinks there's a problem that might cause harm under full boost.

[ibiza_95]

if the coolant sensors raj'd and the engine thinks its cold all the time, then if the boost is limited for the cold conditions youll have restricted boost because of this.
I know this is common on the QPEng setup if the sensors buggered anyway not sure how much other maps depend on the coolant temp

[krisbutler02]

going to get a new onefor the weekend

[ryan_s3]

have you rang jabba?

[krisbutler02]

ive emaild them but they dont answer :(

[alexj124]

always best to phone them email is never a good way to get in touch with companies as you dont know how busy they are.

[jabbasport]

Hi Kris,
Apologies for no reply to your e-mail things have been busy at the moment.

Our remap wouldn't just turn off, there'll be a problem and the ecu doesn't want to request full boost.

Did bill try read the file out then to confirm whether the car had been mapped or not? I dont know if he can look at maps personally...

The best thing to do is to either bring the car to us, or address the faults that are logged in your ecu as they're probably contributing to your low boost situation.

Thanks
Kev

My car was not boosting as it used to (stage 2 map tdi 150) and had no faults. Its only the cold weather that showed me that the heater on hot cooled the car down and the guage moved off 90 backwards to 75!. Changed the thermostat and now I have full performance again. You may be wondering why I posted this but it shows that I could not get full boost as the engine was too cold, even when the guage says its at working temp!

got a new temperature sender coming tommorow then i just need a lambda sensor aswell but was told the lambda wont affect running on boost

Easy spot, did YOU have the car mapped, or was it a previous owner?

[krisbutler02]

previous owner but i have recipts and printouts

I did'nt read out the file, just logged request vs actual, which I can post up to see.
some middling timing pull (6's & 7's) for the 1900mb boost it was asking for, & read a max og 150g/s which was'nt bad for the low boost seen. Fault code reset, and TBA done and it went better.

Car has some underlying faults which need to be fixed first. lambda and water temp sensor, which the customer knows about.

regards
bill

[JamJay]

So any joy with the temp sensor?

Sorry, just reading this with interest and to broaden my knowledge :)

[krisbutler02]

fitted the new temp sensor today sorted the guage problem but still the same with the boost spiking to 18-19 psi then holding at 12 psi

but by 6000 rpm the boost has dropped to 8 psi

[jabbasport]

Did you fix the lambda sensor too?

[krisbutler02]

not yet but i will be as soon as the local moter factor gets it in for me which should be tommorow
ive fitted aload of new silicon vac hoses and clipped them all up

[jabbasport]

Good stuff, it'll be interesting to hear how things are one you've installed your new Lambda sensor :)

[krisbutler02]

but apparently the pre cat lambda sensor doesnt have anything to do with boost ? am i right

if this doesnt sort the problem whats next on the list of to do's?

[jabbasport]

Pre-Cat is a wideband sensor and regulates fueling, i'd imagine the engine wouldn't want to run full boost if it wasn't confident its fuelling was correct.

[krisbutler02]

ok nice one ill get that fitted asap and get back to you

[ibizacupra]

but by 6000 rpm the boost has dropped to 8 psi

k03 has nothing left in it at high revs.. sub 10psi @ high revs is not unsual.

[krisbutler02]

well just connected it up to vagcom cleared the coolant code , then cleared the lambda and now both are staying away

before fitting the coolant sensor the lambda code would come back instantly obviously i need to drive it for a while to be sure ill check boost later

waiting for a parcel at the mo (nomad gauge piller pod) :)

if it still does the same ill get a little vid to show you

[krisbutler02]

took te car for a blast and vag comed it as soon as i got home and got this


16518 - p0134 - 35- (lambda) sensor b1 s1 : no Activity

17524 p1116 - 35 - Sharware version

not sure what the 2nd one is but im guessing the lambda is still borked lol

[nick-barnes07]

you sure someone aint took the ecu out and sold it, just because you have a receipt doesnt mean its remap'd, sounds to me like someone has

[nick-barnes07]

it isnt hard for someone to chnage a ecu over, can be done using vagcom

[krisbutler02]

i dont know , i just seen a reiept and was told it was mapped

[krisbutler02]

it was a custom map 2 so would this work in other cars

[Bogwoppit]

According to your VAGCOM scan your lambda sensor still isn't working. Did you use a genuine part or a buy a aftermarket one and wire it into your original plug? If so I would either take the lambda sensor back or check the connections.

[krisbutler02]

new lambda is on its way

[nick-barnes07]

it was a custom map 2 so would this work in other cars

yeah, it sounds like its not mapped, i couldn't see a sensor not making it boost right, the ecu would still be asking for the right boost on vag com, but not getting it, yours is asking for what its getting, the car cant be remmaped, ecu's are easy to change over, sounds to me like the person you bought it of has had your pant's down, lol, joking! sounds like they have swapped the ecu over with another one that isn't mapped, and put the standard one in yours,

[nick-barnes07]

give tps in tewkesbury a phone call if u need any genuine parts cheap, at trade, and set up an account with them, might be worth popping in as they only tend to deal with the trade, but if u go in they will sort you out, top bunch of lads at tps, has the car got a sports cat in it as well, as that will keep flagging the lamnda sensor up,

[krisbutler02]

yeah its got a sports cat but that should make the post cat fail if atall surely?

[stevegti6]

had big problems with my sports cat down pipe thing from blueflame on my old ibiza cupra
step 1
ONLY BUY GENUINE PARTS IE SEAT OR TPS OR STEP 2
LISTEN TO BILL AT BADGER 5 THE MAN KNOWS HIS STUFF

:thumbup:
thanks steve

[krisbutler02]

well fitted new lambda sensor , i now have no vag com errors but the boost is still doin the same , any more ideas
