Title: In a dealer - the old ECU flash / remap worry...
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on September 06, 2011, 03:24:57 pm

Car is in for repair. 

Can they wipe my APR st2+ mapping by reading or updating the ECU?  :scared:

Is there a current ECU update on the 2.0T FSI? There hasn't been one for quite a while.

Im not sure, I dont know if I will have had any of the previous ones.  Seat only did 1st Service, Aweomse gti and VagCo have done the rest with me changing oil atthe 5k mark in the middle...

Iv been told im due for a software update + coilpacks. And it will wipe my Stage 1. My plan, to buy a downpipe and intake, get the software update and drive straight to get stage 2. Save me £72 loading stage 1 back on  :signLOL:

Most reputable remap companies will reflash for free if the dealer overwrites it
