Sadly, having looked (and asked) high and low about a remap, the two companies (out of the ten or so I e-mailed) that did reply to me both stated that my Automatic gearbox is simply not strong enough to support any power gains. (Vagcheck are due a mention here, very prompt reply).
Determined to find out why this is the case ,I recently found out that the Auto Gearboxes on most of the A3's up until 2002 were made by Renault, and are cr*p. - Taken from the words of a local Audi Mechanic.
I just thought i would share my frustration, and I suppose to warn other people in the future if they are considering buying an Auto A3 of this age.
The car still shifts, but I was really looking forward to some extra oommph!
Thanks for listening...
