Anyone used Chipped UK??
« on: January 13, 2009, 12:21:23 pm »
As per the title realy.  I know the owners from being next to them at the past few Autosport shows and can get a frankly silly price on a re map.  Not sure on the quality though.  What can a bad map do??

a bad map can kill your engine.

I have not been impressed with my experience with Chipped Uk on two occassions.

thats first hand experience of incompetance and plain rudeness.

Ive had experience too and likewise not impressed. They completely f**ked me about with broken promises and in the end I got most of my money back cos I was not happy.

If you do a search on google for my user name, you will find my findings on Chipped UK and the experiances i've endured with them and there mapping.

I now run Revo on my oil burner ..... for a good reason.


Some company's try and pull the wool over some peoples eyes, but don't count on these people having an ounce of intelegance  :happy2:

Wow £40 is bl00dy cheap! But I think for that price you are more than correct to be asking on here whether they are any good or not!!!

just to let you know, my 170 tdi that was mapped by chipped Uk went on the rollers today.

it gave 180bhp! what a joke! they said it would be 205 bhp easily. i put the graph against a standard stock 170tdi and it was nearly the same!
