Yeah John mapped mine, his service is great. He's very accommodating and a genuine guy. I'm taking mine back to him next week to see if he can tweek the map slightly. If you register on Vag cars north east Rich you can get £50 off the map ;)

Rich, Dan paid £200 with the discount. (He's my twin brother)
Getting it tweaked due to a slight hesitation I believe.

Back at the rolling road today but didn't run the car. Passed all the info to the guy that i had been given and thanks to all. He looked lost and said my car just cannot cope with more than 180bhp! Then said he could do me a Revo map that wouldn't give the same issue i had yesterday at a cost of £450?! Why did he not mention it yesterday?! I said no thanks!

Made a call and spoke with John at Big Fish Tuning, he said he had come across this issue before on the PD170 and nothing he wouldn't be able to resolve with one of his maps. He said he would happily give a couple of hours of his time and see what he can do, if for some reason he cannot resolve it due to another issue, he won't charge me a penny. He also said if the car does the same as yesterday, he will be able to tell me the cause.

Has anybody had any dealings with Big fish Tuning? If so, does he know his stuff?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like the first guy was just another ' +20% ' mapper who doesn't have the slightest clue other than to try and empty your pockets.

To be fair you couldn't ask for anymore from Big Fish Tuning. Heard many a good thing from people who's opinion I trust so fingers crossed you'll be in good hands and finally get to the bottom of it.

As mine still has the DPF it's regenning quite regular and John said he might need to adjust the fuelling slightly. Also it had the injectors done at Seat on Tuesday which I thought would help the slight hesitation when flooring it in 3rd. John said he'll take a look an see whats up, but fears the DPF is on the way out. Having said that I never have the DPF light come on.......

I'm sure someone said that bit does come off. Can't remember who though.

It's a lesson learned i guess and yes the guy is clearly all about the money and hasn't a clue and is dishonest. Says my car cannot cope with more than 180bhp but the next says he can Revo map it no problem!

Wish i'd gone to Big fish Tuning in the first place, sounds like he is very good at what he does. Yes fingers crossed!

It's strange how it only hesitates in 3rd and i think you said it did the same before the remap. Don't think the DPF is on its way out but could be wrong
