Its concerning that so many tuned cars need to be re-tuned and fixed by other tuners, but sadly this is where the industry is at the moment. Anyone with a laptop and a disc full of files can call themselfes a tuner. :sad1:
Needs some sort of regulation I think.

....I couldn't agree more. Too many people are solely price led and buy cheap and then need to buy twice :stupid:
But who would be the regularity body be? An association of established and reputable tuners? And who would test the standards required? - Unfortunately it doesn't look at all easy.

Thats great news! I've got a laptop and a disc full of tuning files. I can call myself a tuner now :drinking:
I've got no idea how to load them onto a car, and i wouldnt even try anway :confused:
I guess that doesnt stop most people though!

Oh, and then got your money back of the clowns who have messed you about to the point where you're god knows how many pages into a thread and having to go to a 3rd tuner for help.

I didnt know it was an option to 'just get the revo map turned on' again. And having had revo on my S3 and it being very agressive, and having been recommended Motech by a couple of friends who had good experiences I spoke to him and he said he could do a smoother map.
The Motech maps are actually written by Richard Washbrook (ex revo and APR apparently) so was confident it wasnt just a 'kid with a laptop' that was going to mess with the car.

I dont want this to turn into a slagging match against any tuners. Cost is irrelevant and from what I understand Motech are similarly priced to R-Tech anyway so Its not that I went there because they were cheap. I chose them after a couple of good recommendations and after they had also done my van and my dads car and after hearing who actually wrote the maps.
I've tried not to slag them off at all through this thread and indeed praised them for spending half a day with the car trying different maps.
This thread wasn't a plee for charity and although R-Techs offer is extremely kind I still offered to pay for any work done. Like I've said, I dont mind paying but dont want to be throwing money away getting VW to flash it to standard only to have the same issue when its remapped again so the fact R-Tech seem confident they can solve it is of great interest to me.
Also, the thread has gone on seems to be in part to the fact that other people have experienced similar issues so its not just me whining on and on until someone helps. I have been proactive and have had various parts changed on the car in an effort to fix the issue... but when none of those things work... most peoples next move is to jump back on the forums as 9/10 there is someone out there who has already experienced the issue.

Big :congrats: to Rtech for offering to sort the issue, lets hope its something simple. Theres nothing worse than an annoying problem on a car that you have to drive everyday.
