Been thinking about getting a stage one remap, armed with this info I'll make sure who ever I choose open up the ECU correctly.

Thanks Dave  :happy2:

Looks like this thread has ended up on loads of forums now. On VAGOC they seem to think it was Shark that did this and happened on a couple of occasions. Quite surprising that this happened in all honesty, fortunately nothing catastrophic happened.

If that is the case then perhaps vRSy might confirm which dealer it was rather than tarring them all with the same brush.
