Ok so its been oww... 3 months... I suppose it time for an update really! And the update is.. Its been broken for 4 months and been cleaned only a few time!
Well after i fitted my polished inlet mani i managed to break my ETG sensor.... And guess what.. there where none in the country... and i got told the beginning of Feb before i would see one.. GREAT!!
The EGT sensor monitors Exhaust gas temps and when they reach 997 (i think) then reduce the timing so your engine don't over heat.. So if its broken is performs like a donkey on ketamin!!
So.. i got a phone call from my local VAG specialist a week ago!! WOO my EGT was in.. Got it fitted happy days... Cars been ready for the stage two map since it was broken so i took a long over due trip down to AMD where they put the map on.. As well as a new MAF and Water temp sender. Then they told me its had an EGT fault. GREAT!!! It has not been fixed, so i tell them that its had a new EGT so they say it could be the wiring! GREAT!!!!!!!!!! I waited 4 months and paid £214 for something that was perfectly fine!!!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... *breath* well potential!!
So its going back in tomorrow to have a look at the wiring! Fingers crossed its sorted out!!
If any one want a giggle,
When AMD RR'd it when it rolled in it pulled 220 bhp (pulled 246 before it was broken) then after the stage 2 map, it managed a whopping 240!!!!!! It managed a 39 ft/lb increase as well WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yay me!!
The morel of this moan is......
EGT sensors are like girls...

I know AMD are great!! But its going to Total VAG have been dealing with it. I trust Greg and im sure he will get it sorted. But im just annoyed that it might be a case of, i didnt need a new £200 sensor.. I deno.. Just want it fixed.. 
Yeh, map is on and it alot quicker.. Wil just be alot lot quicker when its all finished..
Well i hope that's the case, knowing my luck it will blow up or somin. As much as i love it.. I Cant w8 to get rid of it.. I'm trying so hard to save for a house but this just EATS money!! I nee tyres as well!!

Get the old one back on and sell the new one on.I know AMD are great!! But its going to Total VAG have been dealing with it. I trust Greg and im sure he will get it sorted. But im just annoyed that it might be a case of, i didnt need a new £200 sensor.. I deno.. Just want it fixed..
Or see if Seat will take it back and see what sort of handling charge they want
Ok all Fixed (i think) Seemed very powerfull on the way to Hayleys and when i reset the MPG for the a5 i managed 40!!. WOOOOO

Hmmm so mines doing the same thing with this sensor,did you have a flat spot? vag com saying i have a EGT fault but shes still really fast pulled 271bhp/320ftlb, just after 500 miles on the engine rebuild,but the car just feels like its getting faster, hopefully when this EGT is fixed will hit 300bhp
Erm its hard to explain, when the EGT is broken it reduces the timeing so you dont damage the engine. But then again somtimes in some gears it pulled great.. then others its was awefull!!!
I spose i best ask really, it may save you a few bob!!

Ok well its still flagging up as EGT fault but my MPG are very good so im annoyed it not fixed but at least its fuling kinda right..
We put the Stage two revo up to 8-8 and seemed to run fine with only CF up to 4.8.. maybe wen then EGT is pully fixed ill try out 9-9.
Ill call total VAG tomorro but wont be able to get the car in till next week.. Laim!!!

LOL 9-9 sounds DANGEROUS doesnt it, but mine doesnt really pull any cf's in winter on those setting so im sure you will be fine. DO IT hehe.
