RR diagnostics? Who and where near london

[Scotty_b]

Hi pips just looking for some advice of what Rolling Roads i can go to to get my car checked over. I have a terrible whistle under high load and want to pin point its location so i can eliminate it.

What i need to know is are there any RR’s around the London area that i can get the car on the rollers to have it held on boost to find this? As i think most RR just do power runs and not diagnostics? I know i could more or less take it to any RR to have this done but if im paying out the cash id rather take it to someone who knows what there doing.

Any help would be great

Scott

Scott, Engine Advantages in Witham are excellent I am taking my car there in a couple of weeks just to see where I am at...

Can give you their phone number if you like?

 

[Scotty_b]

Yeah please. do you know how much they charge etc?
Wonder how far they are from me

I think your best bet is to take a trip to Milton Keynes and go and see Martin at Marlin Engineering, they are spot on

If you want details let me know! You could always say your from SeatCupra.net and you know me as he will remember from when i had the Rolling Road Day there as i have had to speak to him since about the magazine feature

Cheers alex but ive heard bad things about that place so wont be going there.

Really just need somewhere who kows there way around the LCR.

I would go to westec etc but its just too far, esepcially if i have to go back to BF to get a new DP

Scott Engine Advantages have their own leon 20VT that they have done all sorts to, so they defo know their way around it....and its Onvi!!!!

I rekon they are prob about 40 mins from you on a good run...

As for cost they quoted me between £30 and £50 dependant on what I had done

[Scotty_b]

[Scotty_b]

I have used PTS about 50 times over the last 6 years with no problems

I have a 1bhp difference from PTS & Engine Advantages who are also good

its all down to personal preferance, and from previous dealings I would never ever go there......or to the tuners next door!
