To be fair unless the dealer drove the car for some time at various load points they would not be aware of this noise or the multiple issues with the standard mapping.

Its a little frustrating for me as trying to remap a car with issues is a big no no as it simply magnifies them.

Hope it all works out for both of you. A bit frustrating on a one week old car.

Word! After burning my hand several times on hot engines, exhaust, cats, turbos and drive shafts I fitted my magic clip (£11) and it is much better of not fixed. At first I could still hear the silly little noise but now 100 miles later for some reason it's 90% better, maybe because it's hot. Still a result!

Yes,  £11 ish. Let it cool down for about 2 hours though or suffer my pain.
