Some good news and some bad news

[Boro&Beth]

Our S3 went into RK Engineering today for an oil&filter and a new thermostat. This has fixed the dodgy temperature reading we'd been getting since getting the car a couple of weeks back.

Simon did the work and took it for a quick test drive after checking for fault codes (none found)

We had planned a remap at some point but Si told us the bad news when he got back.

"The car won't be any quicker after a remap"

That was the bad news.

The good news was, the car already has a remap

So, thats saved us around £300+ to spend on improved handling which will probably go on suspension as we found 2 broken rear Eibachs while we were there lol.

So, all in all a good day.

Also, a mate of ours has just recently got a similar S3 which looks like it might be remapped too as we couldnt separate them in performance earlier tonight.

Moral of the story, before booking a remap, check if you already have one, im guessing its pretty common to have them without knowing.

Massive thanks to Simon down at RK Engineering. If anyone in the SW needs a VAG specialist, he came recommended and hasnt disappointed :icon_thumright:

Good news.

Where are RK? I've checked their website and there is no physical address on it? Got a mate looking for a decent place in the SW to service his G/F's TT.

It's good news you haven't got to fork out for a remap, though I think I'd be a bit gutted booking in for a remap to be told it's already been done...'no more power'

Yeh, we didnt know how to feel at first about being told we couldnt make it faster with a remap. Shame but im sure we can find some other goodies to compensate for our loss

Think i'd be gutted to find out that my s3 was already mapped.

Happy days, however you must be feeling the car is still slow if you were after a remap??

How about a stage 2

 

[Boro&Beth]

Never really thought it was slow but who wouldnt want more power for not alot of cash. Shame it's not gonna be a cheap option for that extra bhp, so will probably concentrate on handling now.

I had Simon at RK do my remap aswell as fit my milltek cat-back and my forge DV valve.
