Just been remapped :D

What he said!

It's not a physical modification - i.e. new chip. It's a re-program of your existing chip. In the event of a write off accident the investigators will check visable modifications to the car - alloys, bodykit, big exhausts etc. They will not be delving into the ecu settings.

Thanks for the updates , in that case I will certainly be filling my boots as well

My preimum on my TT increased by about 15% - that was with 25% increase in power, plus other mods, so it wasnt a huge increase.

TBH I'd speak to your insurers, because if they want they can see if a car is remapped and is it worth the risk of losing £10k because you didnt want to pay the extra £70 for the insurance?

I spoke to my revo installer and he says its untraceable,
even so it would only take a couple of mins to flash the ecu to standard.

also if for some reason Audi flashed the ecu and your map was gone they would reinstall free of charge.

Strictly speaking, Shao is right - it is easy to detect, but only as long as you have the right equipment.

The fact is that most dealers will not have this equipment and certainly no insurer will.

However, if they suspect something, they can easily send it away to a specialist, who will easily be able to spot rogue code!

Cheers,

Chances of this happening to your lil old A2 i find to be slim how ever your sport billy boy racer cars yes i would see the point but chances of them doing all the hard work to find out are very slim.

Anyway if your car is involved in something that the insurance would want to investigate it would be the thirds parties fault anyway not the A2 driver as we are the best drivers

 

[Havank]

And as most drivers bought the car second hand

what stops you from saying.


Remaped??????

Didn't know that

end of story
