How to install RSTuner???
- Thread starter Zygalski
- Start date
Golf GT TDI, IS220d
I downloaded the driver, extracted the files to the desktop, then got windows to install it.
Nothing happens though (the green LED on the VCI interface flickers briefly) and I don't have a clue how to install the ECU calibrations onto it.
I am hoping all will make sense when I plug it into the vehicle & something should spring to life on my laptop, but at the moment there's no windows dialogue box appearing.

hope this helps;
First log in to the website and download the RS Tuner v1.7.7 software from this link;
http://www.fastchip.nl/content/view/17/27/
then download and install the VCI driver from this link;
http://www.fastchip.nl/content/view/16/27/
then follow the vid. ;

and take a look at this guide too;

haven't got mine yet but looks pretty easy though.

If i were you id backup your ecu & cal. then go for a good drive to recharge the battery and once youve done that reprogramme the ecu and cal
Ok I think I've done it!
The "Read ECU" part took about 30 minutes.
I wrote down the following info after connecting the ECU to my laptop:
Manufacturer: 001 (siemens sirius 34)
Part No: 8200476538
Program No: 00E5
Hardware Version: 8200476538
Software Version: 8100
Calibration Version: 7803
Diagnose Version: 09
Vin: VF1CB220F33885398
So the 2 vital pieces of info are the Software version & the CB22 from the Vin.
I then went onto fastchip.nl
There, I looked at the available ECU calibrations in the downloads section.
The correct one for my '05 plate 182 is Clio 2 F4R 2.0 [CB20/CB21/CB22/CB6K]
I then had to choose an ECU write file.
8200_7804 was the correct .cal file (RON98 CB22 aug 2008)
so I chose the
8200_7804 .rst file from Standard engine software [write ECU] section to replace the old ECU file 8100_7803 which I copied on to my laptop before.
Writing the new ECU took about 30 minutes.
On completion I heard a nasty buzzing noise from the engine bay (bonnet was open with shiny new battery charger connected) but I think it was just the immobiliser cutting-in.
Unplugged everything.
Turned the engine off, turned it on & hey presto - I hadn't buggered it!
Took it for a test drive & this is what I noticed after she had warmed up:
1) rev limiter seems unchanged (still kicks-in at about 7250 rpm or so) and it seems slightly easier to get the rapid choo-choo-choo effect perhaps because accelleration is slightly improved?
2) torque may be increased but nothing dramatic
3) torque steer is perhaps a little more obvious (maybe because I was booting it?)
4) it now absolutely flies up to 120 mph
All in all I'm quite impressed. 1 1/2 hours well spent.
An eye-watering blast up & down the A264.
Now someone is going to tell me that it was all in my imagination & the new ECU file is no different to the old one!

I have just done this & it took about 2 minutes to write the .cal file to the ECU.
Took the car for another spin & WOW!
Torque is now noticeably improved & she flies up to 100 mph.
Some guy in a tarted-up Mazda 3 sport was tailgaiting me so, being the gent I am, when the traffic cleared I pulled over into the inside lane & blasted away from him.
t**t still stayed in the outside lane though...
Cheers, Henk!
I think the placebo problem before was because I haven't really had the opportunity to rag it before so I didn't know what to expect.

The mid-range torque 3000-5000 rpm seems to have increased noticeably. It really pulls along.
Unfortunately I needed to do a before & after on the same RR to get an accurate comparison.
The car is blisteringly quick & I've owned an s14 200sx & astra gte 16v amongst others.
The 182 seems markedly quicker tbh.

No, but better safe than sorry.
What do you mean by "a while" ? I will get mine soon too so I want to know how long and how fast should I drive my car in order to get its ECU understand the new configuration?
Thx.

Have you RR'd yours before the remap?
I'd like to see a before & after report from the same facility.
Mine does feel quite a bit more "driveable" at lower speeds because of the gain in torque.
Nope I haven't. I am still waiting for mine to come. Henk has sent the product probably with normal post so that means 1 to 2 weeks. And I learned today that the cargos over 100 Euros are subject to customs. Not all but most.
So I think I have to wait for a little more while.

I thought you were meant to disconnect a car battery from the car before attaching a charger to it. Is this perfectly safe?
Do you literally just clamp the charger onto the battery in situ?
Yes.
It just keeps the charge topped-up through the remap session which took about 90 mins total.
