Just had my s3 remapped at awesome. One word WOW!! Managed to blow off a boost pipe whilst leaving!!
I have not said "if there is no fault codes, there is not a problem"LOL at 'we check for fault codes' and if there isnt any there isnt a problem.
Shoddy service from Awesome there, they should have done the job properly or not at all...It's a stage 2 map, and stage 2 means custom mapping to suit the cars hardware. Not flash and forget...
LOL at 'we check for fault codes' and if there isnt any there isnt a problem.
its not just the bang for buck factor though is it, whilst you do get better and more thorough service from true tuners elsewhere, the big 'VAG specialists' still think this is credible:I hope Awesome may understand that customers are expecting more for their money these days
it means absolutely jack **** on 10+ year old cars, absolutely nothing at all!APR have carried out 30,000 remaps on 1.8T engines since 2000 world wide.
I think it may be time for us to ask the guys at APR come across and post for a more in-depth idea of what their mapping is all about. With APR, Panic about Exhaust gas Temps and duty cycles is not required! All stock safety parameters are kept in position which allow the ECU to 'self protect' the engine should anything happen untoward that pushes any of these figures outside of their safe levels.
This is the reason I'm deciding between R-Tech and Badger5, Awesome are always quick to jump on the keyboard.
thats a ****ing big tuna!

Mark I sense that was I smidgen aggressive, I'm a member on other forums as well namely UK-Mkivs so I've seen it before on other threads. To do with mapping / servicing / delivery etc. etc.
All I'm saying you don't see the company's I mentioned having to defend there customer service..... (Even though the customers is happy in this case) I think it would be very easy to forget that customers are your foundation and if I was told after a stage map that 'there wasn't time for a dyno run' I wouldn't be signing your praises.
the reason i have come on here and do occasionally is customers like to see a response, we are sometimes stretched and are not able to fulfil all our customers needs on forums as we like to put back into the scene and support forums with cash for advertising.
I have seen so many threads where people say that oh i notice that xyz tuner is coming on and responding, well this just goes to show that we do...you ask why, well its simple AWESOME does care, everybody who works here has a passion for Vag and when we get people disappointed yes it hurts us.
I will bow out now but please like i said lets not make this a bad thread as it started positive from a very excited Awesome/APR customer.
my number is 0161 7760777 should anybody like to carry this on personally.
Its a hot day lets all enjoy it.
Ps we do listen we do love our customers and yes sometimes we get a bit defensive but who wouldnt.....only them that do not CARE
Regards Mark
Kwistof I cant believe your from South East Kent and your saying its not a nice day i would have thought kent would be basking in Hot sunshine
Mind you I suppose we should spend twenty minutes strapping it on the rollers then getting the car up to temp and logging Egt's boost actual and specified fuelling actual and specified, oh full engine check over for boost hoses, DV check, and throw in a turbo inspection for good measure, thus resulting in maybe a few hours of inspection work to check everything and get this right.
