Your warrenty won't cover it I am afraid.

I would take the line suggested above and see if they will come and put your car back to normal and give you a portion of the money back (say

My only fear is, if i have the re-map taken off and spend even more money on arolling road re-map and it turns out my clutch is f**ked then im f**ked!

Just emailed revo as they are 2miles from my house asking them about there rolling road maps and told them about my situation. Also email re-map guy and asked if it was possible to get my money back. just wait and c now

Just had an email back from my re-map guy, read this!

'Never money back. Remap not at fault. Standard

Live and learn....

LIVE AND LEARN!

Only joking bud, you gotta keep smiling havent we!

Hopefully a performance clutch will sort the problem either way, its gunna cost more to get rid of the old map and put a new one on than a new clutch so.......

Iv started a new thread about what clutch to get so any ideas would be great!

THANKS EVERYONE WHO'S ANSWERED THIS THREAD, ITS ALL BEEN A MASSIVE HELP, NICE 1!

why don't you get REVO to put it on their rollers , so you can find out exactly what this "remap" is doing , there is no point leaving it on if it is going to wreck something else further down the line , i.e. overboosting the turbo

also AFAIK you can't get it remapped by anybody else until the generic map is removed (someone correct me if i'm wrong)

I believe that trading standards might have something to say to this bloke since there is no such thing as a never refunds policy in law.

I would guess that somebody with the right tools would be able to put a standard ecu programme onto the ECU. That is probably something like a JTAG or other suitable flash programmer though, so not something everyone will have laying around.

I think that a talk to a tuner with a rolling road or some tools would be a good idea as a bad map could destroy other parts (as said) and a turbo, or gearbox etc will cost a lot more than

Correct. The only situation where a trader can refuse a refund is if you simply change your mind. IMO the remap falls into one of two categories: "Not of Merchandable Quality" or "Not Fit for the Purpose Intended". There are some brief details here, and that page also includes links to some more of the deeply-legal stuff. The trader is absolutely in the wrong with his response to your complaint. One point from the above page that you may find particularly interesting is:

"If you're dealing with a consumer, any repair or replacement you arrange must not cause them too much inconvenience. You may have to pay for other costs such as transportation..."

(If you hadn't realised, it's written from the point of view of the trader!)

The guy's completely out of order, and shouldn't be trading as far as I'm concerned. Goodness knows how much damage he's caused to other people's cars with his two-bit remaps...

:iagree: - In fact it may be falling into both categories of "faulty goods".

:iagree: - in fact it may be faulty on both main counts.

Best take this ecu-tune company off my ebay watch list

What happened then? Did you get him to come back & remap it for you? Did you get the clutch & was it ok after that? Did you go to Revo for a looksee? What? WHAT? :lol:
