Not an option for me, service package must be taken,..surely they would know if it had been remapped when they service it?? if not then..wayhay!
Get Bluefin & then swap back to stock map before going in for a service ;)

Bob's yer uncle, fanny's yer aunt & Angelina Jolie's got great tits :yes:
Shooms - Can they not tell if the car has been re-mapped / modded in some way then reverted back to it's original settings?? I always thought that as soon as they plugged into the car they could tell that sort of thing, plus i'd need to tell the company insurance won't I??

Thanks Matey,

don't know if they do or don't but i'd like mine at zero, pros and cons for everything this was merely a statement of fact, we accessed it through VCDS Programming attempts 6, Successful attempts 6
