Afternoon All,
Managed to get my Ed30 booked into R-tech for a Stage 1 remap on 16 February, which I'm just a little bit excited about.
As it'll be a 250-mile round trip, I want to ensure the car flies through the R-tech health check. A few questions, which I'd appreciate any feedback on, please:
What gremlins have people experienced/heard about during the R-tech health check that has meant the car not progressing on to the dyno? Anything my trusty mechanic can do to ensure everything's in tip top condition.
The car was serviced in August 2017, which included oil (Millers Nanodrive) and filter, and I've probably done 2,500 miles since. Any arguments for getting new oil and filter done again before the remap?
In August I had the GFB DV+ fitted along with the latest revision PCV, cam follower and the pre-cat removed. I had a new thermostat and housing fitted in November, and then in December RacingLine springs and shocks went on. To help the car achieve the best possible figures on a pretty limited budget; is there anything else I could fit myself? The only two bits I can think of are: ITG Pro Panel Filter and R8 Coil Pack Set.
Incidentally, I'm planning to have two new (part worn) tyres fitted, and will fill up with Shell V-Power. Any arguments to fill up with Tesco Momentum instead?
Thanks in advance, and any insight and advice hugely appreciated.
