....getting nervous......my car is booked in for a re-map this weekend!! eek!...
The Story of the car
Owned form new
After 18K miles remapped by Angel Tunning
Less than 6K miles later turbo blows up taking the engine block and exhaust system with it.
Car gets taken by AA to Dealers who advise that a new engine is required. During the investigation discover the remap
This has been the most stressful month of my life, for the sake of a few more BHP I now face the choice of a punto with no engine or a £6K bill to repair.
I still have 3 years left on my finance.
All I can say is DO NOT GET A REMAP, if you want a faster car then buy a faster car.
I am not saying that the remap caused the turbo failure, however IMO it did, but for the sake of 40bhp it is not worth being £6K out of pocket when it goes wrong.
I will answer any questions you have, however I am deliberatly being vaugue as to my true identiy for a reason I am not prepared to state.
seems you are not upto date on recent info. there is a whole batch of dodgy garret turbos fitted to a whole list of cars inc the GP. these turbos will fail prematurely whether your car is mapped or not. other car manufactures have recalled all their cars that have a turbo from this batch, but it seems fiat are just fixing them as they break
enought said...
but really sorry to hear about your car are you sure that your car wasn't one of the one's fitted with the faulty turbo's?
Sorry to hear about your engine.
Why cant you reveal yourself? Surely if you say it was (in your opinion) Angel Tunings fault. Then Its unfair to name them and not yourself.
For all we know you could be just trying to discredit them for some reason.
If it is their fault you should be chasing payment from them.
or it could just be the original has a life away from the net and has been busy this weekend
whats this 'life' thing you speak off
whats this 'life' thing you speak off
Why has angel tuning suddenly started getting slated??
Have i missed somthing here?
If you read the small print closely on the remapping sites they tell you that it is “untraceable and therefore wont be discovered” however if it is discovered you will be up the creek. [/SIZE][/FONT]
do we really want to turn this into another angel tuning vs red dot thread?
