If the excess fuel situation still exists then there is clearly a fundamental underlying problem that really needs sorting before altering the map? :wink:

agreed!!!
and would have liked to have done that, but the having an ECU to swap would be the first mission, then the labour charge for swapping and diagnostics would cost me at least a few hundred and since the car is still under warranty am pretty reluctant to spend money on it.
getting the remap made sense in a way although it didnt diagnose the full problem, it was at least 2 hours of free diagnostics that ruled out alot of problems that the car could have had which in turn made the remap much cheaper since i got all that labor for free!
also the way i see it if this could be the start of a problem that would need fixing it would become obvious enough for VW to fix the car under warranty

although I almost dont want to put the car on the rollers becuase if its still only putting out 220bhp ill be so pissed off lol
