I saw the time of this first post here and though 'Christ they worked quick after your call'!!  :wink:

I think your car looked well today, although you didn't hit the peak figures you'd hoped for it was very strong.  The big number isn't everything.

Yep Manual.
I was told when I got the map (in Oct) that it was stage2... but when I called up, the guy told me it was the "low power map"... So very confused!  :confused:

About 10-15mins to download and then about 10-15mins to upload to the bluefin handset.

if you have troubles get them to email you the map, when they do download it on to desktop or easy to find place, then open bluefin application and connect the handset dont run the usual connection,  but in the top left corner click the windows button and your given a few options: one restore original, the second one lets you upload a new map straight on to the device, click that and then choose the map you downloaded and it does the rest -  erases the existing bluefin map replace with the new one, takes 10mins, then you just upload straight to car no need to return the car to stock mode.

hope this helps, mine was in my inbox 9am this morn.

by the way im rather impressed with new map, has so much more pull in all the gears  :driver:

not overly happy with bluefin, some proper R&R in the first place and we wouldnt be having these issues....

I had this email from their Technical Director this afternoon after I spoke to him about the various queries that had popped-up: -

We are contacting all those with the same calibration as yours first, offering revised map with new level2 (Miltek) option as well. Then the other DSG cals (started already) then the manuals will follow either tomorrow or in the new year. Finally regular Golf GTI with stage 2 will get a benefit also. I will try to get all the curves on our homepage tomorrow for all the models. I will also send you yet another announcement in the morning.

So keep the faith Shaun  :happy2:

but im manual and got the text/ email this morning ? !!

Then it suggests they may think you have a DSG car or could be a mistake in their records, so like Greenouse said it would be worth giving them a call as they are working tomorrow  :confused:

Mr PG, does this mean my Stage2 will be updated again?  :confused:

^^^ I can understand your frustration, I felt the same TBH when I got my RR results at JKM earlier this year.

But after going to see them twice now they have totally changed my opinion, so perhaps that might be worth trying in the future to get across to see them and get your car on the RR there?

Shaun if your car is running fine, then i would just leave it until the new year when all the confused ops have been sorted out, and then just ring them and let them talk you through were they are with maps and your particular one.
Just enjoy the holidays your car was driving fine yesterday so it will be fine to the new year.
I dont mean to be patronising in any way just looking at it from an outsiders view point. I am sure it will be easily sorted.
