@@Chris-hw4mq I have purchased a golf mk6 gti from a company in Birmingham (not main dealership) but still a name that’s known and they didn’t tell me the car had a stage 1 remap and the remap was so bad it would cut the power while driving on motorways or accelerating which was very dangerous and this company refused to pay to get the remap sorted. I ended up returning the car. The car then ended up at a main Vw dealer and I am pretty sure they sold it on like that

@@macca2760 a Audi main dealer sold me a s3 that had never had a haldex service and when I took it to get one done at a different main dealer they didn’t put enough oil in and completely damaged the haldex and blamed the other main dealer for not doing a haldex service.

The DQ 381 gearbox is known for issues even when stock.

[@AI-Records24]

That’s not how it works, despite how will explained it. A box map wouldn’t have saved it is what I’m saying. Failsafes are built into the gearbox and it’s actually best to leave them on rather than remove them. This was caused by overheating. Only way to stop that is to strengthen the box.

So the clutch went due to the car being mapped. Was it a bad map or does the gearbox have to be mapped as well as the engine ?

[@maddisonwhitfield6157]

S3 stock clutches are made of chocolate. Exact same as the Golf R’s. Even a very safe stage 1 will make the clutch go due to the torque limits of the stock clutch

[@Kissmyapex]

@@maddisonwhitfield6157correct but that’s on a manual car

[@jamesg2569]

manuals have dodgy clutches, DSG clutch should be able to handle a stage 1 map as the box limits the torque through it UNLESS you get that mapped out on the box.

I am not a trader Calvin, however I have noted when buying a car from a main dealer say VW or Audi when you do a HPI check it will often come back with finance owing due to the Dealership taking out a short term loan to pay for it as stock., there is a name for it I am sure.
