So, I am back after a long hiatus. Previously, I had issues with my engine not delivering power intermittently. This happened after I had my K04 installed and the DM K04 tune flashed. Basically, it had a a very annoying intermittent power issue and the whole car was fine mechanically, but a bad electrical ground was the culprit. That is now fixed finally! No mechanic or specialty VW or Audi shop knew how to fix it, but admitted that the problem was there after test drives.
During my diagnosis, I switched to Unitronic’s K04 tune but never really knew what it actually performed like. Now that the car is fixed, I feel that the DM tune was a lot more powerful and pulled harder to redline too.
Now, I am running 91 octane on Unitronic’s 93 octane tune, so I am not sure how big of a difference that’s causing in the actual power this tune makes. It’s 30C/86F here this week.
I am thinking about flashing back to the DM tune but what’s the last word on it? I think someone here mentioned that they had to rebuild their engine after about 125K miles.
So, what’s the last word on it? Does it blow up my engine sooner?
I may have the lowest mileage MkV around at 42,000 miles. It’s a summer car only now.
