Where instead of working from the original map on your laptop, you down load the map from the ECU where it can then be currupted if you're using a different version of Kmanager to the one the map was originally written in. So when you upload it again, alot of the values have been changed, leaving the car stranded as 9/10 times it won't start.
I think that pretty much sums it up

which is why when you get your car tuned, you should always ask for the file.
Coz you have no way of knowing which version of kmanager was the tuner using.
You might be left crying if he doesnt keep copies of all the tunes he's making, and you want to alter your map coz you have new goodies to play with.

I have all my original maps as it happens. From a basic Cold air map to one which includes a bored throttle body, then one for a race mani and one for N2 cams too.
What happened was that I found that a newer version of K-Manager didn't like a map I was trying to use which was made in a far older version of K-Pro. It wasn't me downloading the map from the ECU, as I've virtually never done that (it can cause corruption).

Thank God that Paul at TDI North emailed me the map!
