Engine management light flash at redline after APR 3.4 map

[DVS1]

Hi

I had the 3.4 remap put on my 2009 seat cupra (25k miles) last week, I took the car to red light this morning to test the motor sport rev limit feature and the engine management check light flashed twice then twice again a few seconds later after which it didn't flash anymore.

I repeated the redline test again on my way home and the same issue occurred. The car seems to drive fine without any noticeable lost of power, nor has it gone in to limp mode.

Has anybody else experienced this issue, does anybody have any clue what might have caused it.

Sure i read somewhere the EML is used as a shift light

Wish it was but it kept flashing after the revs dropped to well under 4-5k

Who did the map for you?, If you pop back im sure they would run a fault code check but could be plugs or a coil pack

 

[DVS1]

Turns out its a misfire due to one of the coil packs. As coil packs seem to be an issue with our model, is there any ungraded options. Ie r8 or rs4 coil pack which is a popular mod on the TFSI audi tt

 

[MJ]

There is a company that makes uprated coil packs. I'm sure PSI TUNING sell them.

 

[DVS1]

Can anybody tell me if you can fit the R8 coil pack to the Cupra?

 

[betty_swollox]

have u been on that site that MJ suggested??

 

[LeonCR]

Stick with OEM dude, not seem any real benefit to using others

The R8 coilpacks offer nothing other than being Red.

You can get plasma coils but they are stupidly expensive

I disagree, it gives you an extra 30bhp cos they're red...

...even tho u won't see them due to engine cover lol

What if i put turbo stickers on mine though

OOOOOOOOOOH thats a good 15bhp there


The APR go faster stripes added at least 30 bhp too

 

[AndrewJB]

40bhp as there one of a kind
