What is the easiest way to tell if your car has been re-mapped...

[Lig]

Hi all,

Just as the title.... what would be the easiest (maybe cheapest) way to tell if a car has had a remap?

Is there anyway of looking on the ECU for this? OR would it have to have a rolling road test??

Cheers,

There’ll be other ways I’m sure like a read of the ECU but for £60 - £100 a dyno test might be a good option

Easiest way to read ecu, but dyno also a choice

Thanks both....

So Tadass910 how would I tell from reading the ECU and how do you do this? Would that 'Carista' be able to tell me somehow??

I dont want to know what has been done i.e power, but just if anything has been 'touched' at all...

Best way to visit ecu remap dealer, I don’t think that Carista can see if your ecu was remaped, also you can try see how car goes from 0-100 and compare to stock car

Have a drag race with a stock RS6.

plug in VCDS (or similar) and see what boost it produces

I’m pretty sure if you plug VCDS in you can go to info and it will show flash attempts and the date
