I've used them for years and they are very well known amongst the VW 'scene' but probably not as well known among the Audi drivers...
I thought I would just write about the work they have done to my S3 over the last two days. Basically my front wipers had totally seized and the car had a major over revving problem. So much so that when you let off the go pedal or depress the clutch it over revs by up to 1500rpm. Don't be confused between this and holding the revs, this actually over revved. I've heard this is a mapping problem but Tim wasn't so sure and wanted to have a proper look...
He took my wiper assembly off the car and stripped it down, as suspected it had totally seized and was all rusted up. So instead of replacing he just cleaned the existing unit completely, reassembled and hey presto, turbo wipers again!!
He then had the car on the road with the laptop to look into the over rev, according to the laptop, the car says 'idle' as soon as the clutch is depressed so it was something different, safe to say I have no idea what he did, but it invloved a lot of trying this and trying that until the problem was solved. This is the kind of knowledge only a true expert would know.
He then went on to fit my Forge TIP, fix my Bose stereo as only a couple of speakers were working and the disc changer didn't work either, bond the trim back onto the bottom of the driver's door where it had started to fall off....
and the best part.....
Custom made my a vent mounted boost gauge!! He has taken the existing air vent and carefully cut a circle out of the vents, plastic welded a black plastic ring into the space and mounted my gauge!!
Next on the list is my quote for a GT28RS, fully fitted, so FMIC, downpipe, high flow cats...the lot...I'll let you know what the drive in drive out price is.
As I have said, I have used the Phirm for years and cannot fault their work. They have worked on all my cars from 1970'2 beetles to Golk GTis, Polos, Audis etc. what they don't know aint worth knowing, as they say!
If anyone needs a reliable, honest and hard working VAG servicing/tuning/part fitting/anything doing(!) workshop in the south east then I cannot recommend them enough, my S3 is like a different car now and turned around in 2 days!
Tim works 6 days a week 15 hours a day and loves his VWs as much as any enthusiast!
Give them a bell!
