HI guys

Sold my LCR and thought get my self a fabia vrs for economy reasons.

So yesterday travelled to southampton to get my 55 red vrs.

It was mapped by regal autosport and on print out made 180bhp and 366 torque ( massive spikeee early on). Car was driving all well and tight.

Driving down to london and POP. White smoke through exhaust, sudden power loss, smoke coming from bottom of engine and oil spillage like on engine cover.

So new car is going well lol!! Iam going back to the guys who mapped my lcr to get a proper map done which is safe for car. Hopefully i can enjoy car soon

Morning Raks :hi:

Not a very auspicious start to VRS ownership for you - hope you get it sorted okay. Private sale I presume as you haven't mentioned taking it back.

Hello raks.vrs and welcome along :thumbup: all the best with getting that sorted and I hope things improve as your ownership continues.
