My head says leave them to it-but thats just not possible when a company I am very proud of has been accused of too many things it just isnt guilty of. We are an honest company and we 100% employ honest people.
Credit to everyone here on the forum. When I saw the first post (warned by a forum member) I thought here we go again! However, you guys have had an easy oppurtunity to jump on us and you haven't so thanks.
The only knowledge I have of what actually happened to the car is a threatening email accusing one of my technicians of swapping engine internals. The car was with us the last time for a couple of hours and it takes at least 8-10 hours to remove an engine and rebuild and refit it. I'm sure I would have noticed it. The consequencs of this accusation is the loss of someones job and possible criminal charges. Its just ridiculous.
However, TimmyS3 had always been a reasonable chap and I'm convinced he has just been badly advised. I have seen piston damage on cars just like this with no damage to valves. We had development pistons from Wossner without the right valve cutouts and raced with them for 2 seasons. Ive got the pistons in my workshop. The valves were all perfect. We sell 1.8T engines from stock and have vast knowledge built from the exchange units we recieve.
We weren't given the opportunity to even see the car before accusations were raised and it was impossible to continue. I have now learnt that the car has been sold so it is still impossible to continue. If we were give the opportunity to give a proper assessment maybe we could have helped.
There have been posts aroud about some issues with our BT's. We did have some issues with the mapping on the earlier cars. We now use Revo who have developed fantastic software for our kits with great results. With over 140 1.8T kits now sold I really think we would have had a lot more issues if there was an inherrant problem.
Thanks for your time guys. Hope you can carry on enjoying the forum now.
TimmyS3-I'm always available to talk you. You even have my personal mobile number. I've tried you several times but you dont pick up. Hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised with the response you get. Just please stop accusing my guys of foul play.
Best Regards
