    HELP!!!!!

    The difference with REVO or AmD remap is that the dealer has an original file on the laptop and wouldn't have to download from the internet as with APR. Hence why we couldn't do this reflash "mobile". In the past I HAVE driven to a customers house to reload an original file when the car has had...

    HELP!!!!!

    We use a local tow man for local tow but for this I would use www.shiply.com and get a quote as they are usually cheapest option?

    HELP!!!!!

    In my opinion removing the ecu would make it even more obvious to a dealer that the car had been modified?

    HELP!!!!!

    Hi DolbyS3, Firstly sorry that it seems your turbo has failed on your S3. We don't know for definite what has failed as we haven't seen the vehicle yet. You have spoken to my colleague and we said we can have the vehicle back here to check the vehicle and reflash back to stock if it needs to...

    S1 Launch Tomorrow

    I would have gone for the Polo as well but it will be 6 month further down the line and I was impatient. Been driving this Vauxhall Astra VXR for tooooo long!!

    S1 Launch Tomorrow

    You can get yourself on the list with a £1K deposit and then options/ ordering possible from the first week of March. The dealer also sent me a list of options which was the same as posted earlier in this thread. I dealt with SG Smiths in Beckenham and spoke to Elliott who seemed quite switched...

    Hi Put myself on the list for one of these, 6th on the UK list. Each dealers only getting 3 this year apparently. Literally the day before I said "I won't buy a new car again and whatever I buy will be diesel"! Oh well! Everyone at work says get a bright colour but I prefer black?

    Best place for remapping yorkshire area [bad experiance with amd essex]

    Hi, Sorry I can't exactly remember the car. Did we map this car last year sometime? Sorry that we couldn't get you back in when you were down here for Players but I would deal with this and I was away hence why we couldn't look at the car that day. Its strange that the overboost issue went...

    AMD tomorrow!-) stage 1 or 2??

    And not just to sell sets of forged rods? We've never had a rod through a customers block.

    AMD tomorrow!-) stage 1 or 2??

    "So", We have a boost pressure tester which have a number of fittings to cater for most engine applications. We boost pressure tested the vehicle to check for boost leaks.

    AMD tomorrow!-) stage 1 or 2??

    I have just been forwarded this thread. My honest answer is that I cannot clearly remember this car but do remember it had an "ebayhose" which had been hacked to fit. It was also too soft for purpose. Boost was not matching and we advised new hose and drive carefully until a new hose is fitted...

    Any opinions of AMD in Essex for remapping my S3?

    Thank you for appreciating I am "a big deal"! You can twist my words any way that you want but I am still happy that the vast majority of our new customers are from referrals from existing customers. This is about the only way I can gauge my business alongside turnover and profitability. I...

    Any opinions of AMD in Essex for remapping my S3?

    You'd be quite right if we didn't run it on the road before and after to check? As we do then thats irrelevant. It is fine to map a car to Stage 2 without a front mount exactly the same as its fine to do that with standard rods. As with all things, everyones got an opinion and that is mine...

    Any opinions of AMD in Essex for remapping my S3?

    I am sure you find it "a giggle". We map approx. 90 cars per month and I am sure that we have issues with cars. I haven't looked at these threads but as I deal with customer complaints and don't have to deal with many then I conclude we are satisfying 99% of our customers. If we do have a...

    Any opinions of AMD in Essex for remapping my S3?

    It may be an interesting read. As always theres 2 sides to every story. This company started remapping other cars than 106's a couple of years ago. They say they use the same maps as us when people call them. We mapped this car with Stage 1 and the customer was happy. We mapped to Stage 2...

    Any opinions of AMD in Essex for remapping my S3?

    I assume the Ibiza you are talking about is Nicks who works here? He bought the car with REVO on it and decided to, stupidly, adjust the actuator to get more boost. Not a mapping issue just a young lad who decides more boost is the answer to all his lifes problems! Not the first time, and won't...

    Any opinions of AMD in Essex for remapping my S3?

    I see the logs every day and I'm more than happy. Glad that you are happy with your car. If you search through any forum you won't find me posting on there saying how "so and so's" map didn't get any power, was smokey, ran too rich, ran too lean, etc. I could do because every week we get at...
