How can I tell if my car's been remapped...?
- Thread starter The Seer
- Start date
Intending to that at some point. Just wondered if it was possible through a device connected to the diagnostics port?

it's not 100% effective way of finding out and others but boot it down a slip road through gears 3 - 6 and have a look whats coming out the back!!! on mine Pre-map the smoke was barely noticable and after theres a bit of black soot kicked out especially in 5th! (it's also Revo map too not a dodgy one so the black smoke will be there if it's been done )
Wouldnt you just beable to tell if its mapped from attactching a boost gauge? If its running more psi than standard then its been mapped.....?
That would give you an indication yes, if the gauge is fairly accurate.
In my opinion, the easiest way would be to log channels 8 and 11, from this you'll be able to tell.
There's a bit of smoke anyway, probably a bit more than you'd expect to see I guess. It's definately noticeable in fifth and sixth at motorway speeds.
is that how you get requested and actual boost figures?
could you explain how to do logs please? its about time i used vag com properly.
Yes, this will give actual versus specified figures.

also have a look int this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=104
that reminds me why ive never done it its not very clear to me just a load of numbrers and mental instructions.
Once you get you head round what the numbers are for, it'll make sense mate, just invest a bit of time to learn and understand
