I think in London traffic you are probably right. Not much point.

The re-map is constantly on my mind. I will sleep on this until March. If I do re-map it will be Bluefin. That's for sure. 100%.
I just need to find a car with this installed before I take the plunge. Yes, I am scared but also wary. I've had a pretty dismal experience with VW Customer Care and with Warranty problems. I have been bitten quite badly. You have no idea what stress I went through wih them. Snoops is on the same page as me and he has also been through hell and back. It consumes one.
Yes I am scared, but it's only natural.
Funny how you can go from one VW garage to another and get totally different attitude. My car was down for its first service last week, I asked if the ECU would be updated, guy said if it has been chipped, told hiom yes, then he said no we just leave them as they are for you. When my car was finished with, I was walking back out to the carpark and the tech that serviced my car was there and was asking what I had done to it, ( he took it out a shot to check my leaky window seals!

) think he enjoyed the wee shot down the bypass and back! Asked him about warrenty, and remaps etc and he explained that they would go out their way to not blame a remap. For talking sake if your turbo was goosed they would change it under warrenty for you but the turbo would get sent away for VW to inspect and that where the risk lies for them not being payed, but how can they prove its a remap that buggered it!? My Polo 1.8T had a fault turbo (APR Remap) and it got change no questions asked.
