yeh, non of the bluefin maps i have had have been rough, and in that year there's been at least 2 new maps so things have changed a bit
john_o:
gareth, when its happened again was it the exact same cylinder misfires? and is it specific rpm or just a range ?
garethmk1:
Yeah 2 & 3 - I understand why 3 is mst likely to misfire as it has the longest inlet tract, but 2 is cosiderably shorter. It happens anywhere after 6500rpm to limiter.
Suppose I'll have to try the revised map.

^^^ Like Shaun said Gareth if it's at all possible I would get down to see them in person.
When I was down there with Greenouse on Friday another guy came into see them who had a issue loading his map via the bluefin handset (wasn't a Golf) but their customer service was excellent and he left 30 mins later with the map loaded and a free dyno run completed to confirm everything was running fine.
Likewise for both me a Nathan on Friday they took time to check on our cars on the dyno and showed/explained details of all the ignition timing and fueling reading.
They then also completed some VAG COM logging on test drives to ensure everything else was running correctly.
They also said they wanted to do some further development on the modified map they also want to offer where the throttle response in 1st and 2nd Gears is adjusted to make the map a bit more drivable for the heavy right footed owners :driver:
(We will be doing a little write-up of our DSG vs. Manual comparison session in the next couple of days)
garethmk1:
Yes I did think about that - I've spoken to them 4-5 times now and they have yet to offer - I think they are going to try to exhaust all possibilities before offering. I think that could possibly cure the problem - there is nothing like live data logging. Interesting you say about 1st and 2nd, I don't seem to get any traction issues in those gears at least in the dry (wet is a different story !), the torque delivered in 3rd,4th,5th and 6th seems to appear at about 2500 - 3000 rpm, however in 2nd gear that torque is absent until 5000rpm, wonder if the map I'm running could be this "improved traction" map. I suppose I'll think I'll have to at least give this new map awaiting download a go and take it from there. It's just that Milton Keynes from South Wales is quite some way, especially if they are unable to rectify the problem and or need more time to investigate, potentially time without my car etc etc.
