Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Ummm , sorry but thats a no , Ive had a few people complaining about APR's Polo software . No software is perfect no matter what you believe !Originally posted by Guy_H View PostBug_racer supports the rebellion of the euro revolutionComment

They complained because they had to buy GIAC to fix the problems.
I had a problem with my APR flash but distributor/manufacturer never fixed it.Last edited by Flaps; 23-09-2008, 11:14 AM.Comment

One more sledge and I close ... OK? (My judgement call ... not yours.)

Flaps - send me an email please & let me know the details & steps taken to rectify it by your APR dealer & I'll look at it - Like I said - 150+ Polo's (all have the same version software) and all is good.
Need details like what your car was doing etc etc & when you had it checked out by your APR dealer.
Saying that, we have seen a couple of VW hardware related issues that can easily be sorted out - but its no use blaming software (any body's) for that.Comment

OK ... if anyone has further (constructive) views to air on the original topic ... APR ECU V2.0 ... let's hear them ... and can I just say ... if new(er) releases of major software players in this field are available or discussions are to be held ... there's nothing to stop you starting your own thread rather than hijacking the APR one to take
... OK?
Otherwise ... let's keep it

Just a quick question for you guy, what was the purpose of the V.2.0 release, Is it a power update, or something which is meant to be implemented over existing software to address some kind of issue or simply to make a change?
I know its still early days with this, and another thing is it a true 2.0 or is something close to say a 1.4 or 1.5?
I'm just interested really.80,000km 1997 MK3 VR6 manual for sale - www.vwwatercooled.org.au/forums/f23/80-000km-1997-manual-vr6-nsw-sydney-67658.htmlComment

Its a true Version 2 - it was built to try to make better use of a larger exhaust & intake with some calibration changes. The changes made little if any difference to the power output, but the owners of the cars with the Beta Versions liked the power curve for the street - so now its a production version.
If you were running WOT on a track all the time, maybe V 1.0 would be better (better power spread), but for around the street, the extra low down punch of V 2.0 seems to be popular

Been running Oettinger V2[didn't they drop these on London during WW2?]for nearly a week now.Mid range is very strong,pickup in 5th at around 3000 is excellent.
2nd gear roundabouts are easy 3rd now.Fuel consumption is no worse,did 6.8l/100 on the way back from Wakefield,cruising at genuine 110kph.Same as V1.
Still good power at 6-6500 at the track,no real drop off after 5000rpm.
I am also running a full exhaust and Seat intake.
All good.
Cheers

Guy,
Are there similar V2 changes for the K04 & Stage III versions of the ECU?
The improved mid-range performance sounds appealing but I'm not keen on losing the top-end - however if I was to combine the V2 change with one of the turbo upgrades then I assume there would be a *big* mid-range gain and the larger turbo would offset the software-based compromise at the top end?Comment

Hey James,
You are welcome to give it a try - the dyno shows its shifted the power back a slice compared to V 1.0 - so far nobody seems to have noticed that on the road & certainly Len gave it a good blast at Wakefield & I didn't hear any negatives from the power spread.
The K04 has a completely different tune, so its a bit hard to compare the files - the fuelling in the K04 is way different to the k03 + it can handle & sustain some more boost!
Stage 3 is another animal all together - it has all the tables re written for the 5 bar Bosch motorsport boost sensor
