I'm sure you're right Chris, but can't stop thinking about it when she's not on the parking lot next to me.

It's my understanding that this update is to change the tolerances that the ECU records in order to avoid a 'false positive'.

Methinks that widening the tolerances won't do anything to cure the underlying problem, but will merely mean that the inlet manifold and valve-gear can get even more crudded up before the warning light illuminates and the THP goes into limp-home mode.

What's the betting that the ECU has been recalibrated with a view to delaying the inevitable until after the warranty's up?

Call me cynical, but my money's on that one.

[skylaq]

From what I could pull out from my dealer, she's allready gone through that first limp-home mode.

is there a chance that this can happen again? but this time seriously damage her if they do wide the tolerance as gar074 points out here?

Lol! Did you toaster blow up the day the warranty ended?

No, but everything else seems to! (The worst by far are Apple - everything seems to go t*ts-up just after the AppleCare expires. Bastards!)

Fair point.
However, the service people told me that its the illumination that triggers the power loss (Limp mode) So if it doesnt illuminate then the power wont be lost. I would hope that by altering the tolerances- within parameters of the engine- then maybe the peak would never hit the higher tolerance resulting in no loss of power- so no home in limp mode.
