My mates fabia was remapped by the previous owner and he has had nothing but problems. The remap was apparently done by jabbasport. He wants to put it back to standard because he has already had 2 turbos blow. So my question is can any tuning place put a standard map on or is it just the company who originally remapped it?

Any tuning company should be able to put it back to standard, although if your mate has a receipt I guess it may be worth talking to the guys at Jabba? They're very helpful.

Hi.

Any tuner can put a car back to standard. We as the original tuner would also have the vehicles original file on our database, which we always offer to put back to your vehicle free of charge if the need ever arises.

Like you say, if the car has already been through 2 turbos there is obviously an issue somewhere, where were the new turbos fitted, did they also check the VAC box on top of the suspension strut in the engine bay? When these develop faults it often causes high over boost spikes which often lead to turbo failure.

When changing a turbo like this we'd always investigate a cause before sending the car back out again whereas some garages will just whack a new turbo on and away you go again, only to blow another turbo..

If you can provide me with a registration I'd be happy to check over the modified file for you and can also send you the BIN file of the original read out if you wanted a tuner closer to you to install the standard file back to the car.

Thanks

Kevin

As Shark says, but I'm suspicious about the turbo replacements. Were the oil feed and return pipes replaced and proven to be flowing when the turbos were replaced?

AFK when Jabbasport posted, but we're both thinking the same things independantly.

I agree that the VAC box has caused the death of more than one turbo on a PD130 engine, and its not the easiest thing to dianose.

How much do you charge as you are local to me and my mate,

Half an hour's labour, £22.50. Let me know when you want to bring it up

Tho if its not the map then it`ll just blow another turbo, surely worth checking other stuff first?

Would there be a possibility of perhaps you receiving the original map from jabba?

I'll ask Kev, I'm sure it won't be a problem.
