First 8 mins of this video is all about the tool and prep and why I chose EQT maps and COBB based system. Around 8:15 I start of the process of flashing the car. Then a test drive!
Great video
Thank you for the detailed install
Great video. It is very useful!!! Thank you
Appreciate the in depth video
Great video!! I ordered mine EQT Stage 2 TCU and ECU and it gets here next week! I can’t wait!
just got one
Does anyone know if stage 2 EQT transmission tune gives golf r dsg farts? I’m running stage 1 both ecu/tic golf r and no farts. Just curious
I get my EQT e30 stage 2 tune today for my gti, I can not wait 🤫
Diablo Tune! 😈
Great job. Waiting for that TCU tune video!
Tomorrow likely! Already recorded and tested it. It’s awesome!! Maybe even better than the ECU tune if I had to pick only one.

To anyone watching this, DO NOT DO THE DSG RELEARN UNLESS YOU'RE HAVING ISSUES.
I did the DSG relearn right after installing the DSG tune, and now my gearbox is making grinding and clicking noises every time my car downshifts. I hit up EQT, and they said that I should not have done the DSG relearn, and it should only be done if there is a problem after installing the DSG tune, which they also said very seldom occurs.
They said the best I can do is bring it to the shop, get my DSG fluid changed out, and pray that the transmission fixes itself.
Did the recommendations change? I didn't just do it to do it, it used to be part of the procedure. And to be done when the DSG is at optimal operating temp, which can take a long drive with lots of gear changes to achieve in cold temps.
@@netcruzer It could have recently changed with new updates. On their FAQ they do state in writing not to do the relearn unless you're experiencing issues.
Hey man, what happened with your car?
Dude ur lucky that U HV open roads to test that one man, !!!!!!, 98 percent of the world that own GTI 's can't do what U just did,
hello there，I K a piggyback tune doesn't affect warranty，would this tune affect warranty？I have heard that even you flash it back to stock，the dealer still sees it. Wts ur experience？
Also ，did you get the Eqt staged tune ，or E-tune
i've done a stealth TCU tune on my mk7.5 R so far, but waiting for the warranty to run out before I do the engine tune
Do you have to use a maintainer to put the tune on
Did you change your plugs shortly after the tune?
Is This process is the same for the mk7 gti as well?
Are you still running this tune? If so any problems?
Hey man! Thanks for the in-depth video. How did you back up your tunes before flashing them? I also want to be cautious before trying to flash in case I have to reset my Accessport and risk losing the tunes. Thanks!
You ever find out bro?
How’s it been about 6 months later of it being tuned?
I installed this with burbles and have no burbles for some reason and it’s pissing me off any help?
😁👍More power more power! You use your gopro with the voice options every time I tried that when I was fishing using it it always shut off and stuff and did not work just from me always talking as I fished it somehow would get confused and stop recording and stuff?
I do use the voice control when driving it’s pretty good usually.
About 30 mine for the ECU install?
Great video! The Cobb doesn’t need to be plugged in afterwords, right?
Right you don’t have to keep it plugged it. After a flash it’s just for more gauges and monitoring if you want.
How many amps does your battery tender provide? Would a 4-5amp battery tender be good enough or is it recommended to have a 10amp one? Thanks and great video!
I don’t know. 10A sounds like a lot, you just need a maintainer not a full charger. And I risked doing this without it. If the car had been parked for days prior I would put on a fender/charger.
Is it works for manual mk7 ?
I like the R logo floor mats. Where did you get them? Great vid by the way!
From the VW dealer.
You want some I have them and I’m not using them
@@x7wolverines7x dude you still have them?
SO I have a 2021 Jetta GLI DSG and i was wondering do i need to get the +400$ DSG tune stuff if im only doing stage 1? and is it okay to do this stuff at all because i already have a cold air intake and an exhaust?
You need to tune your car if you have a cold air intake and you need the dsg tune too.
Hi do you happen to still have the Cobb dsg maps on your computer or have you only kept the specific for your dsg type?
I am after the older dsg files for a 6speed dsg current Cobb files doesn’t not work with my dsg.
I have a DQ381 7 speed DSG. Cobb AP doesn’t work with DSG unless you pay for transmission flashing ability. I don’t have anything for the 6 speed as far as I know.
Quick question, I have a 12amp battery charger but my cobb says required a 20amp battery charger should I stick with it or should I get a higher amp charger?
12 amp is fine, I don’t know why they ask for such a high amp rating. I use a smart battery charger I have no idea how many amps it provides, likely not many it charges batteries overnight.
Great video! I have a ‘19 GTI DSG and am shopping for tunes. Can you elaborate more on how you chose EQT? I’m interested because of the Cobb unit and all that entails, however, several company do that, so why EQT? Please and thank you!
When I was researching I saw EQT was making most powerful and safest ‘base’ staged tunes. The EQT tuner Ed Susman has posts all over on forums and FB groups answering questions and helping out others. Plus EQT was giving free tunes last month with AP purchase, including their brand new 2.0 tune. Before 2.0 tune came out, I found no bad news about EQT tunes. This new 2.0 is amazingly good, but has the Cobb LC bug plus they are super busy from the sale backlog of orders so I’m still waiting on 2.01. Anyway, I’m very happy with EQT so far. I am Canadian and it was hard to not choose Canadian like Stratified Tuning, but in the end I chose EQT.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS Thank you for the speedy reply. I really appreciate your honest opinion and presentation. I’m definitely more interested in EQT because of your video. My GTI is only a month old and has less than 200 miles on it. I’ll keep an eye on EQT and take advantage of their next sale. Thanks again! Keep up the great work!!
Michael Valdez a sale is currently on now where you get their tune with AP for $75 instead of $175. The last ‘free tunes’ sale was special only for Corona and I doubt he’ll ever do that again. They got swamped and still have not fulfilled all orders.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS THANKS! I’ll look into it now!!
Thank you for doing this. Also, nooooooooooooooooo. I guess I'm gonna sit on the EQT site until another sale comes up. But, do I want to risk my GTI's warranty? Hmmm...Did you have JB4 on this before the EQT Cobb? What are your thoughts feelings on going JB4 until my warranty doesn't matter? Or APR+ tune?
I had Neuspeed Power Module piggyback before EQT. That was like a JB1. I ran that for almost 5 years across two MK7 cars (GTI, now an R), so I was ready to take the plunge into a real ECU tune. Yes you might have more of a power train warranty fight if something fails, but after owning an EA888.3 engine across two cars I felt confident in flash tuning it. I’m doing full flash tune on an R because I can actually put the power down and it has stronger internals. On GTI it would wheel and axle hop from piggyback tune so I felt a full tune was a waste. My GTI was non powerpack non e-diff so yours will be better.
@@netcruzer Right on, I need to do a ton more research. I'm glad to hear the EA888.3 performs so well and is largely reliable. I'm getting wheel hop from stock (only using launch control). I def need better tires, that'll help a significant amount.
Hi man did you gap your spark plugs before tuning the car ?
No. Everything is stock for spark. You can go 1 step colder plugs, but for stage1 it’s not mandatory, and that’s not same as gapping them.
How do I flash my 2019 golf r back to oem before flashing stage 2 tune ? I bought my car with a custom tune and idk how to use the AP to reflash car back to stock
You don’t need to remove a tune first if it’s from a Cobb AP. Just install the new stage 2 tune with the AP. To totally remove a tune you uninstall the accessport, when then restores OEM ECU and unmarries the AP for resale. But you don’t need to do that.
If I have coded the engine stop/start to be permanently disabled and to have the exhaust valves open at all times using an obd11 device, would that be an issue when flashing to cobb ots stage 1?
No it will be fine. I have dozens of code tweaks on my car. That canbus code is different from ECU coding.
@@netcruzer Thanks heaps. Been trying to find info about this for ages with no luck, guess that's probably why lol
What ding went off near the end while driving it?
Likely speed warning alerts I have setup
Lol golf goes full Christmas tree
Haha yup but then it does a DTC code clear afterwards. DING!
How did you get the eqt tune and Cobb to come together
Their website..
Did your package come with an EQT decal? Or did u order it separately?
Came with it
Has your vehicle been flagged by VW for TD1 while doing these ECM Flashes with the Cobb Access Port? Looking to purchase in future.
No they have not. Don’t go back to the dealer after flash tuning.
Who would you go to then for a warrantied issue, or a recall?
16:34 so I noticed your windshield wipers came on when you accelerated. I have a 2019 Mk7.5 GTI, and had a serious issue with this. I took it in for the dealership and they switched out the wiper sensor, free of charge. Fixed the problem. Is this a problem for you?
Also, thanks for sharing. Great video on the process👍🏼
No it’s not been a problem for me. Possibly some bug hit the rain sensor, that happens to me sometimes. Not on every hard accel.
@@netcruzer that’s good. And sweet build. I’ve done most of the same mods you’ve done so far, except the tune. That’s coming next year and yes, Cobb AP with Stage1 EQT is what I’ll be going with. I’m sitting on Michelin PS 4S (or the all seasons cause you’re in snow too) and they are incredible, I’d highly recommend them for your R.
How do you know if you are already tuned? How do you flash back to stock so I don’t ruin my ECU if I am already tuned
same question here, did you find anything?
@@connorgleason7260 nope, idk if your dsg or not but if your in drive and it say D1-6 or 7 if you're 7.5 then your tcu is tuned or if you can rev past 4k in neutral. i think i was tuned when i bought my car but then i got a EQT stage 2 tune and i just flashed over it and hoped nothing happened to it
is there a reason you didnt tune ECU and transmission together?
I think I explain why. DSG needs to get up to temp before you flash it. Watch my tune info for ECU and TCU
What are your long term thoughts on this EQT tune? Did you also do the DSG tune and if so how did you like that? I'm leaning towards EQT right now but a little weary of tunes that cost $150. They might have to price these like that since you're buying the COBB access port which is like $725 but still, makes me nervous.
Incredible Tune, love it. Yes did ECU and DSG tune. When configuring do not choose any of the COBB options for LC, etc.. those are buggy. Go with all EQT for best results IMO.
FYI I have a drag racing video and a track video using this tune on www.youtube.com/@netcruzercars
@@netcruzer I'll check those out and good to know about the DSG tune. I've heard people talk quite a bit about ECU tunes by EQT but not much on TCU tunes by EQT.
everyone says theyre the best tcu aswell @@rambow70
did you use a battery charger, if so which one?
I did not. But I have a CTEK smart battery maintainer slow charger anything like that is ideal.
@@netcruzer do you have to use one
Did the eqt come installed on the cobb access port already or u had to copy it from the email?
Depends on how you purchase it. If all from EQT your tune should come on the AP.
@@netcruzer im in between eqt and ie stage 2 , hardware already on !! What do u think?
Thinking of getting this... how has it been since?
Awesome. LOVE it. Now on v2.51 Stage 1 it’s same power but smoother and cooler running now.
@@netcruzer just ordered the stage 1 ecu and dsg EQT tunes with the access port for my 2017 s3. I've owned my s3 for 4 years now everything stock besides an air intake. Warranty is done now so figured why not.. I hope it's worth it
Hi I was on the Cobb site and the numbers they posted weren't close the the numbers you quoted , Cobb's on line assistant told me I should expect 19 HP and 29 Torque ? Any ideas why the difference. Thanks
That’s Cobb conservative stage1 tune numbers likely. I have an EQT tune for Cobb. Totally different and way better. Smoother and more power with Equilibrium Tuning staged tunes.
@@netcruzer Thanks I will check their site
When is the EQT 7 speed DSG tune coming
In a month or two but honestly the Cobb 7 speed tune you get access too is awesome. Video dropping about that today.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS can you add stuff later like right now I have stock exhaust but I’ll get a exhaust Later so can u add burbles later? How much does that cost.
Noah Damoose burbles work well ok stock exhaust I’d suggest ordering burbles in sport now even stock. You can get a tune changed for a small fee $25 to $75 I think as long as it’s the same stage you had originally ordered. It’s all on their website in services I think.
DSG TUNE VIDEO: ua-cam.com/video/Uae6q5J3ZwU/v-deo.html
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS already watched it Hahahah
have you had any issues with the burbles not having an upgraded downpipe? did eqt warn you about this at all? I have heard this can eventually clog up your cat but I am trying to steer away from having to run a stage 2 tune to get pops and bangs. I have seen other people running burbles with a stock downpipe so im sure it is ok as long as you dont drive all day in sport mode.
No issues yet but I only have about 5K Kms driven in EQT and I’m only in sport mode for brief hooning and for burbles. If you used it all the time I think you would get premature cat clogging, but limited use it’s likely OK.
A year later how are you liking the tune?
Love it. Everything is still great with it 👍
Why use Cobb instead of going to APR?
I tried to explain that at the beginning. 1 - Cobb AccessPort does more and I have control to flash whatever I want by Cobb or a better Tuner’s tune. 2 - Cobb and the tunes are resellable. You can get almost all your money back if needed with an uninstall. 3 - The Accessport is a digital gauge and logging device, it does more than just flash tunes.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS ok I’m sorry that was my fault. I just watched the video. I posted that before i watched it. I have a APR right down the road from me and thats where I’ve always taken my Volkswagens
APR is shit
D&C Automotive Bathurst thank you for your opinion. And thank you so much for all the technical info backing up your opinion
