APR use to do a free software trial, so many days then the ecu resets back to the original software. Get intouch with your locate dealer and find out if it's still available. If they still do it you'll be able to test it, that might help you make your mind up.

Manchester (Awesome GTI) is the closest to me mate, quite far to go for a free trial like, may as well wait a bit longer and bite the bullet!!!
 
Only if you had known when you went to BCS you could of gone for the trial at Awesome as they aren't that far apart.

You know mate, I nearly dropped into Awesome on the way back home as it was only 25 mins from BCS!!!! But I didn't think it would be worth the trip just to have a look about, because I didn't know if they'd have any parts in etc etc

I'm still confused as to why my 1.2TSi had this, but my 2.0tdi FR doesn't? I'm not bothered enough to spend £24 on it though!
 
Yeah no joke! It was the 'S' spec too which is the lowest one! Previous owner was europcar so I doubt they would have paid to have it put in!
 
Just had my alignment checked today, front passenger side was slightly out so I had that sorted


Revolution at Gateshead were very good if I'm honest
 
Car is booked in to have APR software installed....unsure on whether to get Stage 1 or Stage 2 software.


Happy with the power at the minute, so tempted to just get APR stage 1 to replace my current Stage 1 map.
 
If you have a bit to travel to get the software installed go straight to stage 2, then your saving on fuel to get there and the labour cost of installing the free software upgrade.

I thought I was going to have to travel to Awesome, but found out theres a place 10 miles from me :O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hadnt even heard of them and theyve done work on some unreal cars.
 
Nice car mate

Go stage 2 I miss my leon cupra for the thrill :lol:

hahaha cheers mate

you miss a stage 2 cupra......and you own an RS4? Do you have something wrong with you :p???

if u miss it that much, I will swap you for the RS4 ;)? lol!

Is it because it feels sketchy with it being FWD?
