Forgot to report on here about recent work had done on my gti at Deutsch doctors in Stoke.
The work I had done with full service, and various parts I had fitted like intake, downpipe diverter valve etc is all good and alot cheaper labour rates than I thought and great bunch of guys so I can't fault them on that.
Big regret though is having them map my car.
Not sure how to start but basically from the office I was starting to doubt if I should have them do it from initially think they said it would only be £150 for the remap so I started to think things are normally cheap for a reason. It's not like they don't know what they are doing but it just felt a bit like they don't normally do it but they will give it a go type thing if no what I mean.
Struggling to thing how to describe the map but it's kinda made the car undrinkable.
Up to and around 50mph is much the same as how the car is anyway, which I was hoping I would feel the car pull harder up to 50mph but it doesn't.( It's dsg also btw) but from 50mph onwards it's horrific, it sounds sweet with the downpipe but it's like the revs just suddenly bounce up to the red line as though I'm revving the nads off it when I'm just trying to gradually increase the revs for an overtake for example. But it's not even like it's kicking in when it does rev up, it's like the revs fly up and sounds like I'm screaming it but it's all noise and no go what so ever and is so gutless up to 80mph.
I felt a right fool when I went to pass someone earlier as here I am coming past and it suddenly starts screaming with revs but I'm going no where taking ages to go past a 1 litre corsa. I'm now at the point where I got no faith in the car to go past anyone and it's just feels all over the place with the power and the revs. can't even describe the power as been spiky as it's just the revs are spikey but with no power to go with it.
Going to get on the phone to r tech at end of the week like I shut of done to start with and see what they say and see how soon they can get me in as can't carry on with the car like this.
Feel like it ruined the car at min but guess this is why should learn that things are cheap for a reason.
Anyway thought share my rant and experience with you all.
Cheers Daz
