    Trouble Code P133500 Unitronic

    Hello,

    Im Matias from Argentina. I recently got Unitronic Stage 1 ECU to my VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2017 2.0TSI EA888 GEN3. It was installed by the dealership owned by Diego Roitman in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
    While i was driving, EPC light turned on. I got 2 error codes: U112300 and P133500. Unitronic here in Argentina told me not to worry, aparently the gearbox, when measuring torque, went beyond the limit and a sensor caused the EPC warning light to turn on. However, I do not remain calm as I was told that with Stage 1 (only ECU) my Beetle was going to work perfectly and without problems. I would like you to give me support because here in Argentina they do not help much. I cant accelerate because exact same thing happens again.
    Never got a faulty code or anything like that before ECU tuning Unitronic Stage 1. Its a 2017. Unitronic local dealership dont help, they just told me not to worry because its just a rpm sensor that overpasses the limit (but i cant accelerate and use my car normally!!) Please i really need help. Error Code is P133500. Epc light turns on and i have to pull off the driveway and turn off the car. I repeat, nothing ever happened to my car before ECU repro, car is brand new and i really take care of my car.

    It’s not right you shouldn’t be getting fault lights after a tune.

    If the tuner can’t /won’t fix it then ask for a full refund and flash back to stock and go with another tuner.

    Hola Matias. My mum is from Buenos Aires and I had a friend called Matias when I was younger.

    I would speak directly to Unitronic head office in America if your local dealer isnt being helpful. See what the head office says first (they might be able to provide a revised tune) otherwise, like others have said, ask for a refund and go with a different tuner. A stage 1 tune should not be triggering transmission torque sensor faults, so unless something is wrong with the car, then something isnt quite right with the tune.
