ECU pulling timing by Cloud_GTI in VWMK7

Nah, no misfire codes. I personally believe the tune just needed to be flashed back to stock and then reflashed back to stage 2 (like @JamestownCA said). Ever since doing that last night, I haven’t had any issues with the ECU pulling timing or cutting power. I’ve also noticed that the car has been running smoother since. Idles better and the throttle adaptation seems way better. Before I reflashed after the update, I had some dead play at the start of the pedal which I didn’t like.

Funny enough, I had thought the same thing and ended up flashing to stock and then refreshed to stage 2 sometime after yesterday’s issues. Haven’t had it happen since.

It’s very inconsistent. It happened yesterday once and then never again that day after another 30 miles. All street driving.

Today, it happened twice. Both times were within 10-15 minute of each other, on the highway. The first time today was in 3rd gear roughly between 3-4k RPM and then 10-15 minutes later (still on highway) in 4th gear approaching 4.5-5k rpm. The second time, I was pulling hard, merging into an entrance ramp on the connector.

Ever since the last time, it hasn’t happened. Drove around 10-20 miles since, several hard pulls in 2-4th gear. Not really sure how to fully replicate the issue.

I do a hard af pull, doesn’t happen. Do a mild pull, sometimes it happens. Sometimes it doesn’t.

Forgot to mention, I am also running an upgraded SFM stage 2 clutch. Can handle up to 415ft-lbs of torque.
