Err? Can we have that in English please?

 

[WeeJase]

he says his cars fooked,i think .

 

[ALEX**]

his car or him, i read something about his pants down weird.

 

[sted]

i think hes saying hes taken his modded car into the dealer to have it serviced and they have said the top end of engine is damaged he than asks how to fit a mod chip (which if hes already fitted it makes me think someones done a half assed job of chipping the car) and depending what car hes got 200brake is optomistic / a good way to damage an engine

 

[joe_cupra]

ill try and make it easier for you to understand.. has anyone ever been skanked at seat willoughby, nottingham? the car is standard and in my opinion running fine,seat are saying theres something wrong with the top of the engine,(i think they mean the head..) and its gonna cost me 2 arms and a leg to fix,surely if its running nice it cant be that serious..
the chip was a different subject!
hope thats made it easier for you to understand lads,if not i will try and simplify it more 4 ya!

also i dont think 200bhp is to optimistic for a 20vt cupra chipped up,
sted..

My old Cupra with an APR chip was a solder job if I remember?

Why have you left them the car if there is nothing wrong with it?

 

[joe_cupra]

as there saying there is a problem and its best if they kept hold of it..

 

[Fez boy]

Well if you have taken your car into them and it's all running ok I would have wanted to know whats wrong with it(if they are going to charge you?)

Did they not give you an indication as to what the problem is?

 

[joe_cupra]

no,i only spoke to the service receptionist and she didnt know her arse from her tit so i was stuffed,she said she will ring me monday when they know more and with a price. but theyve got me by the bollocks really they could say its anything..
n yeh i will be paying for it.

 

[Fez boy]

Not being funny but if you say the car was fine when you left it why/how is there something wrong with it?

If it were my car I would be back down ther wanting to know whats wrong with it

BTW willoughby DO have a section on this site

Maybe they will reply to this thread

 

[WeeJase]

the underlying question is why they think theres something wrong,and why they picked this up on a service,tell them from the off ,that they are not to carry out any further work without consent and a at least telling you what is wrong with the head/top of the engine.
and i thought APR was serial port inputed these days,and maybe always have been for the last few years,either way don't get any work done,get your apr dealer to have a look first,usually a freebee

 

[surfo]

Weird... is Ecu problem? or something?.. there can be Soldered or Remaped APR chips... and they DON´t Cause problems to the engine heads or any other parts... that´s really weird.

 

[joe_cupra]

the chip was a different issue all together it is not chipped,ive been offered a cheap apr chip,just also wanted to know if it had to be set up or is it just a matter of soldering it in..
as for seat they picked it up on the vagcom by the sound of it.. and they wont be taking out any further work until they ring me with prices on monday,and my say so, as they didnt get round to finishing it basically..

On the David Dickenson ("Cheap as Chips" geddit?) - I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. AFAIK it woul mean taking out your ECU, opening it, de-soldering your OE chip and resoldering in the APR one. If it's exactly the right chip for your ECU. Even the pros sometimes have problems with this. If it goes tits-up it'll cost you a fortune...

On your car issue, it sounds like Willoughby's think they may have found something with your car that could be serious. How would you have felt if you'd have taken the car away yesterday and it went bang in a big way? It might be nothing, but it might be something serious and all dealers will want to cover their arse.

I've taken my car there in the past, and while I'm sure they've had disgruntled customers in the past (just like any shop/garage/business), I wouldn't say they were crooks - in fact far from it and done me all sorts of favours ("oh, while it's in could you..." type of stuff that they've not charged for).

 

[joe_cupra]

cheers for that,thats all i needed to know..

 

[FR-RUSH]

lol so to cut a long sotry short, you should go down and ask to speak to a techie and ask him whats going on i rarely take what they say at the desk to be true.

 

[joe_cupra]

what a palaver!

 

[Forbez]

ask them what the problem they've found is!
