If you want your GTD done then speak to The Doc; he runs a GTD  :wink:

Be warned, it involves opening up your ECU  :evil:

Make sure you use a tuner who knows what they are doing with these new ecus, like Rhyso said they need opening up but also need to be extracted from there security mount which have shear bolt plus the ecu is glued and sealed.  Over on the mk5 gti froum there is a topic on damaged ecu from heavy handed removal.

I dont think APR do TDI maps?

IMHO I would go see Craig aka The Doc I know he has done many many of the anit tune ecus and has a nice clean method of getting the ecu out and open, plus will fit new shear bolts.

If your shopping around just make sure one of the questions you ask the tuner is what method they use to remove the ecu, give Craig a call first and he will explain the whole process to you.

Thanks R-Tech, yeah I don't just want any cowboy playing with my engine and if I'm honest I do want Craig to do it as I know he knows what he's doing, I think the trip up to him will be well worth it esp the drive home :grin:

I know at the min he is busy with in house stuff at the min so will contact him when they re-open :wink:

Not sure if you have already asked them, but there is "Top Gear" in Bridport, who do remapping and are not that much of a drive from Bournemouth. or, there is Apd in Poole, but I think they are now called Vas. So it may be with a call to see if they do GTD remaps

Hope they can help you out.  :smiley:

I have not used them, but when I have phoned them asking about some work because of a problem they told me on the phone what it was likely to be, and they where spot on with the diagnosis, so i didn't even need to take it to them  :smiley: They are very helpful.

Glad i made the trip was well worth it  :cool:

Did you get your remap done with VAS Works?

They are very nice people, didn't even charge me for having a look at my car and plugging it in to see if there were any fault codes. But, they did try to sell me a THS intercooler and fit it for £200  :huh: Which I didn't need.
