You people are crackers remapping new cars no wonder VW have spat their dummy out.  Why couldn't you wait till it was out of warranty, this could now cost you big bucks.

Vw called today to ask to return hire car so they could put me in there own, when I got there they Said they were no longer willing to look at car unless I pay due to remap on vehicle, they gave me back my keys and said laters

OMG   :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Is it worth trying another dealer, after the car is returned to standard and Milltek removed, or is it now logged on the VW system.

Very disappointing attitude from VW, sorry to hear this, guess your fuming.

I've been told it's lost its warranty full stop by vw uk, they gave me my keys and said it's down to me basically. I'm going to call them tommorw and try to come to some arrangement about fixing it as the problem was reported weeks ago. Im sure it's on vw system now.

Its going to be about proving it was the map that caused the mecatronic to over heat , and its just not the case as you I know faulty gearbox end of really, but maybe get an independent engineer or ask revo if they are willing pay for the unit? If you don't ask you don't get also speak to Lee who works at Cheltenham VW he maybe able to advise you or even sort your car out? Good luck  :wink:

PM evo1986 Aka Lee ask his advice?

They are now on the case of people remapping cars.......I will post the info that was published on our intranet a week or so ago. Problem is you take that risk the moment you touch it and people know the risks but hope nothing goes wrong but when it does go wrong it's never cheap.
