Never seen that sort of codes before and in general if they can happen, they won't be caused by a faulty knock sensor or a faulty MAF... some people here can read in between the lines, so be my guests ...


This is really scary.

Do you know who put the map on and when ? If so, did it run OK at first ?

The map was put on @ Quattronics - by Kev from Revo.

I've always said that it's not felt right - from about 1.5-2 weeks after the map was flashed in .


I'v tried the Revo map in all modes,95/98/100 ron and their version of the 'stock' map - which is alot less than the real stock map :roll: , but it's all the same :(

Is it possible that there are a number of versions of the software and they flashed your car with the wrong one ?

I dunno, it's a question that has already been posed to Revo along with the map + the vag com fault colde and the values of readings taken whilst running live

knock sensors maxed out is really bad news. I wouldn't even drive the car.

The car was only driven for testing once we realised that the det was so severe. It has the stock audi map in the ecu again now and all is well and fine in the knock stakes (just alittle flat in the frist couple of gears) :D

that is good then. Do you want to try a map that doesn't max out the knock sensors?

I was not having a go, I was simply saying that you need to know what you are doing with these cars and assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that as you have not done the tuning yourself and indeed have a problem you cannot resolve you perhaps are a little underqualified to be listening for and 100% identifing pinking. I am an engineer and I would not be comfortable "listening" myself...

On a lighter note there is another post on this forum about tuning options, some guy has had problems with a Revo map, it may be related.

Hope you get a good result in the end and no offence meant.
