Sometimes, its just the little things that count.

From reading items on this forum, there is a suggestion that the APR flash etc., can be 'hidden' from the dealers. I find this to be rather hard to work out, as surely there would be a recording program within the ECU that would indicate to any boffin who has the right equipment if the vehicle is running over standard boost, or richer fuel mixtures, or really anything that isnt standard??

Mutare 23, the APR tune i bought around 9 months ago for my '10 Tiggy gave me the ability to switch back to the stock mode at any time using nothing but the cruise control toggles, then lock the ECU in that stock mode so that is the only thing 'visible' when the ECU is accessed by VW diagnostics is the stock fuel/boost/etc maps. Once the ECU is locked, a PIN is needed to 'unlock' for access to the performance tune.

Thanks for this. I am aware of the ability to be able to switch programs and the security code (PIN), it just seems strange to me that the main computer that will be doing the diagnostic work, wouldnt be able to detect over boost, changed fuel use etc. My understanding was that the ECU had a diagnostic support system. Will be more than pleased if nothing of an APR can be flashed, but I reckon computer boffins would be able to locate it.

Thanks again
Cheers

Afraid no time is any different despite what you have been told, some are better than others, but no one is undetectable if the effort is taken to find out. Viezu claim all this undetectability, but as it varies massively from marque to marque, and nothing is undiscoverable to the right prying, best to just say if you are tuned,and the dealer has need to look, they will find out. Reality is they usually don't bother.

Thanks for this. I kind of thought that the dealers wouldnt look too hard unless there was a reason for doing the same. I intend to keep my Tiggy looking very stock, with no indicators of the APR when I have it . Hopefully that will result in no attention from dealers, blue lights or anybody else for that matter.

You don't have a Viezu dealer in Syd/ACT as yet, but for the record, some of the major difference I felt in the Viezu tuned Tig was the DSG alterations making it more smooth and responsive, something only Viezu can do from an engine ECU only reprogram at present. Assuming you have DSG of course!

Yes Greg, a DSG
