The saga of the underperforming LCR... part 14

[Ruddmeister]

So when are you getting it remapped

 

[RobM]

Don't start! Everywhere I looked when at JKM I saw a Revo poster, or leaflet or info sheet. So I thought I'd pick up a magazine to read instead, and even more Revo adverts jumped out at me

Will be done sometime next year for sure

 

[JKM]

Your very welcome. It was nice to get the car back to how it should be for you. Enjoy it and hopefully see you soon.

Take Care
Kate @ JKM

 

[Ruddmeister]

You should have at least got the free 5hr trial

 

[awelch]

This is exactly what I wanted to hear, I phoned JKM and they were so helpful about possible REVO remap, I will now be going there in the new year to spend my hard earned english pounds. Cant wait

Glad you got the car sorted? If you were to take this action still in Seat UK warranty would they cough up for the MAF??

 

[Ruddmeister]

Seat UK warranty would they cough up for the MAF??

Seat UK warranty would need to be done by a Seat Main Dealer but it is a warranty item

Congratulations on getting it fixed - can tell you're slightly happy about it

Too right I am! I've had the car for 7 weeks now, and not had one week without problems. I'm hoping this is it now, and I can start to enjoy the car!

 

[UncleFester]

Hehe you're going to fill your pants when you take it out for a proper drive then ... will feel like a totally different car i'm sure!

Glad you have it back to normal rob , Did the problem not show up on test drive ? Ho caome thes MAF sensors are so fragile ?

No it was fine on both test drives. And it was fine for some of the time since I've owned it too. But other times it was shocking.

MAF sensors are just one of those things that seem to go on VAG cars. Bit like the aux belt on G7 Celicas

 

[paullec]

No rob it was just the lift bolts anyway glad you got your car back running sweet.

 

[RobM]

Did you never suffer from the curse of the canary-sounding aux belt then? If not you were a rare and lucky fella!

 

[richybigman]

Glad to hear your car's ok, a remap is well worth it but wait until the roads are slightly less slippy

 

[virdi]

Glad to hear u got it sorted Rob!

If your car made 209.5bhp - That means their rollers are quite accurate!

 

[RobM]

Yeah, I was pleased about that. As much as I would have loved to see some really high figure, I'm more pleased it is accurate as I know that in the future when I modify the car or remap it, the figure I get then will also be accurate.

And don't forget, the LCR 210 is 210PS which is around 208bhp, so my car is making book figures + 1bhp for the panel filter

i get the flashing red light on temp gauge some mornings is this a sign of faulty temp sensor???

[RS6]

ah that is good news my car goes into JKM all the time, in fact its in there tomorrow afternoon for some springs to be fitted, the service is always very good and the work carried out to a very high standard can't praise them enough
