I just dropped my car off for its 5k mile service and it had a computer recall that they updated.

My invoice states:

OY Recall
ECM Software level update


No big deal, just wanted to let others know in case their service department misses it.

Did the ECU update make it any faster?

 

[mistyz23]

*sigh* If only...


:-[

Do you know if it had anything to do with launch control? I posted something in another thread about how my launch control isn't working... I'm sad... I think I need to take it to the dealership.

 

[mistyz23]

They didn't say what it was exactly for other than a general software update. They are really hard to get straight answers out of, so I just left it at that. You should probably just take it in. :-\

Something to do with a bug in the software that made the car stutter at lower rpms when launching hard. Thats what the tech told me. Im getting it done this week.

 

[mistyz23]

I think I will call them up tomorrow and ask what the 'update' really did. I'll post it up.

 

[scottnashley]

LOL someone went threw this thread and gave everyone a negitive karma damn him/her

 

[mistyz23]

Damn it! Bastards. ;D

 

[kryptonkid07]

That sucks... Some how I got a -6. I'm a nice guy. I haven't said anything mean... maybe sarcastic, but not mean.

 

[Thalo]

Wow... how did my Karma get to -22? Is someone systematically smiting me once a day or whenever the karma thingy resets? Just a warning to others, I can give anyone a -30 karma in one sitting!

 

[scottnashley]

Ahh dont look at me i didnt do it hah ,man someone give me a +1 so im not so sad about the negative O0

 

[Thalo]

Haha! I just saw that UnitedgrayGTI's karma was a -94, so I thought what the hey, let's make it an even 100.

 

[scottnashley]

omg LOL

This Karma system is ridiculous if you ask me, somehow I have ended up on the negative side of the spectrum.

This Karma system is ridiculous if you ask me, somehow I have ended up on the negative side of the spectrum.

that's because you only had one karma point and it was neg.
ff

I just picked up my Fast from getting the oil changed and I asked the service manager about this and he didnt know anything about it. Do you guys have a link to the TSB about this? I cant find it anywhere on the net. I would like to get this done just in case it develops to something else...

 

[scottnashley]

Go to the service department with your vin and tell them to print out the recall for you. Mine did and it was for stuttering at take off. I can press no gas now and the thing is so smooth on takeoffs i recommend it. Not all gtis need it so have your vin ready.

 

[yee]

mines like butter. the engine is just so smooth, my friends dont believe its a turbo 4, they think its a n/a 6.

 

[scottnashley]

Mine was insane hesitation at take off i thought it was the way the car was or i was just use to a sports clutch in my RWD 240sx. I guess it wasnt me it was the car. but now the car seems to not boost ( as said in another thread) its going in next week. ehh
