No Boost After Remap

[jc88]

Hi i got my car remapped from p-torque and when i start it for the first time i get no boost, therefore no power. Im going to call p-torque tommorow to see what the problem could be but was wondering if anyone has any ideas. Basically when i first start the car up it doesnt boost at all. Then when i stop and restart its fine again. Its a cupra T remmaped to around 220bhp, but doesnt feel even 180bhp when it does this
thanks James

its goin into limp mode where it restricts boost mate.mine always does it when its cold then goes when its up to temp.feels like you r drivin a std 1.8!!!!!im not bothered bout it coz i dont floor it when its cold!!

 

[jc88]

yeh but im waiting untill its hot etc and i still get no boost untill i start it up again so i dont know if the chip may have triggered something, im a bit annoyed as i live along was away from p-torque and its only happened after the chip

Could be a numer of things, did they not check it when it was done?

apparently its going into limp mode, which no one has cured so i hope my cars not buggered now, yeh i went for a spin it was fine for the first day no probs, then today its been playing up alot

Well i asume, something must have gone wrong with the car, a fault must hass occured. had similer problem with my remapped by p torque, turned out to be fault boost valve and coil pack.
p torque maps are great, just had line up with CTR, but thats another story.

Best to have it scanned on vag for faults? are you using the standard dv or upgraded plus what other mods are installed.

 

[jc88]

no other mods and just a standard dv, some posts ive read have scared the **** out of me about this limp mode thing. Talking about new cars and how theres no cure!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont know whether it may be the engine adapting to the remap, i took it out tonight and there was no limp prob on the first start, so with any luck? how much was it to repair yours. Also yours didnt do the restrcited revving did it, because mine hasnt done that which can only be a good sign i assume

They'll be a reason why its going into limp mode, its not normal to have to live with it (I've never been in limp mode ever)

As someone said, get it on vag com and check the fault out

 

[chriswilks]

my car has done it since the my remap(sore subject at the mo!!)and no faults show up.was down at awsome yesterday and it was fine.
my car will only do it when its cold then once you restart it ie you drive to the shop car warms up stop the car,get back in restart its like normal.

do recommned you have an upgraded dv, as th standard one fail on a remap, (ive blew a few, till i got a forge).
You may want to do a trottle body reset and reset the cu by disconnecting the battery (do a search )

Yes it was checked, but the car is only doing it on cold starts

It appears that a few of the Leons have this issue after being mapped, (whichever map is on the car) and only happens on cold start.

We are looking into why, but its certainly nothing to worry about. Revo looked into this a while back, not sure if they ever resolved it

the cold start on LCR? yes - they did fix it in the code

Wouldn't you want to try and sort this problem out before putting the same map on cars and having the same problems?

Do the cars have something in common? Is it all Leons, LC, LCR, Diesels?

No, just 1 particular software version and there is roughly 16.

Its impossible to tell which software version the car has until its here with us.

It wont hit limp mode when driven hard, it is literally occasional on the first start, even some of the same software version dont suffer the problem. Obviously we have tuned alot of these for members, and this is the first thats had this issue

i changed the spark plugs but this did not help at all. The guy at p-torque is investigating the problem and is getting back to me. sounds like someone at rica may have found a cure for the problem
