(comments welcome either way)...
Hi!
I checked my "may'be" faulty MAP today, took the ECU apart and concluded that is wasnt other chip or any welds at all. So must be purely OBD.
So my plan is to take the car to Seat to put back an original map.
Is that possible at all? I assume I just can say I want the latest updates...
Onto my second Cupra now, I must be mad :D
Bough this after the Cupra
Was a gorgeous car, but I needed some fun again and for the mpg it did I could have had something much faster. So up for sale it went, was looking for a swap for either a LCR or another Cupra. A month down the line...
