I took my map off today.... I will NEVER do that again!!  :sad:

I did the same to mine aswell on Sunday put it back on after a few minutes : ) couldn't believe how easy it was few beeps and done.

I drove it about 30miles, what a chore that was. Felt like I was towing another car.. until I drove the VW Fox courtesy car!! :shocked: How slow and poor is that car!!

That car is a laughing stock of VW, its every salesmans nightmare to be given the fox demo to take home. It is a really cheap new car though, brandnew we are doing them with metallic paint for £6500! It does what people want it to do get them there dry but late and in as little style as possible.

A fox with aircon is a rare luxury motor, you have more chance of getting a tug off the pope with elvis holding your coat than finding one with a/c as its pretty much a £1000 option.

I helped my pretty neighbour park her brand new Tdi.
I thought the steering was disconnected from the wheels, the clutch had seen better days - worn like an old whore, etc etc. It was awful. I did not tell her what I felt, being a gentleman and all that. I think my expression said it all. Then she wanted to try mine. I very politely declined and suggested it was too powerful for her. :evil:
Now I wonder what the re-map will be like .... hmmmm :grin:

Didn't hear the standard one but Mr.P took the remapped one down the strip and tbh i couldn't hear it ?  think it could be electric  :grin: :grin:

Yes pal... much smoother. I think it really needed that service. Had the oil run out on me not so long ago on a long trip down south, so I am quite sure that service was well over due despite what the mfd tells you.


As for taking the map off.... the most suprising thing is the throttle response. :sad:
