Questions about RS tuner

Still got an intermittent throttle pedal issue which I need to sort, it goes away if I unplug and plug back in the pedal so it must be a connection thing but I can find it.

There's a common issue with the contact tracks on the pedal sensor isn't there?

Tried removal and cleaning with isopropyl alcohol?

Do you mean inside the pedal itself rather than the plugs?

I never bothered to do mine, got a couple of error codes but it still worked fine.

Few people on here have dug deeper tho, so worth searching around.

Is the map you get free with the chip when you buy it new the 98 Ron one ?

On the website it says that a stage 1 map is included, don't know if it's the 98 one tho

 

[DomP182]

It would be yes

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah i think he only does one generic map and that's the 98Ron.

 

[Ross_clio172]

Ok thanks for the quick reply guys cheers

I also got send this after I ordered the chip thing is a do quite often do short journeys were the engine won’t get to full temp do you think it might be a problem ?

 

[Cliomaxx69]

I mean you're supposed to avoid all these things with or without a map

 

[JamesBryan]

Short trips are generally not ideal for any engine really.

 

[Ross_clio172]

So it’s more of a general thing then rather than saying it’s going to definitely do damage ?

 

[Cliomaxx69]

It will but long term

 

[JamesBryan]

Long term it won't do it much good.

Everything won't have time to expand, like piston rings.

Depends what you Class as short journeys as well really

 

[Krarl]

Aye, 10 miles is a really short journey for me

So how much did you pay for the 98 ron map @DomP182 ?

Can't remember now but what ever the current Fastchip price is.

I've driven 6 miles to work everyday for the past 4 years with no issues.

I've driven 6 miles to work everyday for the past 4 years with no issues.

The oil will be warm enough by then.

If i drive to work it's 2.5 miles and it's just about 75 degrees by the time i get there.
