Erik:
They don't offer this at my dealership. I asked.
I wonder if there are other dealers in the UK that offer this service?

C'mon Kenneth, pay attention, there are dozens of links to those Abt kitted monstrosities on here sold I think by Lookers. They will happily relieve you of your hard earned to perform an Abt map on your ECU as they are the UK agents.
Abt have a sort of semi-official capacity and thus have access to VWs inner most secrets. The downside of that is they're expensive. The upside is that if you live in parts of Europe you get full warranty on the converted bits.

I would imagine its more to do with not stepping on audis toes...

Nope...none of this all....it is simply what the importer OR DEALER wants to do....

My dealer importer gives remapping but does not want to do anything with VAG  :sick:.....they are all sick...

The consolation...I have to come to England for VAG and you lot have to come over for remapping....

For all of you it is worth to find out if you ABT it overhere (450 more) that it is possible to keep your guarantee  :wink:

EXONIAN saves the day......you tell them.....let them do their homework... :laugh:

BTW In the Netherlands ABT works officially with the dealers...so no hanky panky ...you get the ABT stamp in your VW service manual and full guarantee.. :wink:

Hello mate, yes I did get it from there, and they dont and wont touch maped Vw's!!

GTI james bought his ed30 from them had it mapped, then the DSG mecatronice unit went on it, and they refused to touch it point blank. Loads of money when that goes???  :wink:

Steve: Same as my dealership West London VW (Inchcape). They won't touch the car or service it if it is re-mapped.
All too much of a risk.

I'm not sure how they new , but he only the car 3 months from new, and the unit in DSG broke, could have been the Revo that did this to it??

...and full circle again.... :grin:

Tell me how does IT service in your company knows you have been on a Porn internet site....even if you are thinking to have erased it all.... :nerd:

We are talking computers here...so everything ( remapping to do with motormanagement) will be registrated in some sort of log.....

You lot never stop to amaze me...expensive new GTI's and un-official modifications because it is cheap... :rolleyes:
