Ya ive had a mild 200bhp re-map caused loads of probs My dash is now looking like a Chistmas tree, Ive had the origanal map put back on but still my car is going into limp mode.

Anybody know for a good SEAT specialist in South wale ( im living in Tonypandy )

Theres a place in pontyclun llantrisant I think its euro performance iv heard they are good and not to far from you.

 

[Seanus]

How much is a new DPF.

 

[Seanus]

Ya thanks much just found them on the net try them tomo.

You're looking at about £1200 (at least) for a new DPF fitted by a dealer.

 

[Seanus]

Ho well cars gone in to euro performance ltd today in LLANTRISANT they are going to give me ring tomo, i hope its not a DPF.

Swapped my gasket over today. Defo feels more smoother and less hesistant.. .Nice 1

Its not completely solved it i must admit, if you really try to make it do it, it will


but i wud say 95% of the stuttering has gone and yeh the car feels smoother and a little more responsive

+1, i can get mine to still do it but i have to purposly try, it doesnt do it whilst driving normally any more!

feels smoother, no change in responsiveness for me.

Worth £2

 

[AndrewJB]

i probaby would of paid upto £50 for how much better it is!

 

[Seanus]

Picked my car up from euro performance in llantrisant they did a forced regen and needed a exhaust pressure sensor cost me £144, well cuffed car feels much better. Glad it wasn't a new DPF.

What is this stuttering you all seem to have? Can someone explain?

 

[AndrewJB]

mine:


1st and 2nd gear the when accelerating of traffic lights or roundabout if your trying to accelerate smoothly the car would "stutter" or "hiccup" as if it was chocking


Same would happen in 5th or 6th when on motorway when going to overtake!


but........ ive done a fair few 1/4 mile runs this year and when accelerating as fast as possible from a standing start it didnt do it!!!

Is this worth doing to a Standard FR170 (No DPF Delete) as i've had the annoying stutter from time to time and the Dealer so far has only upgraded the software yet it still comes back every now and then....

Here was the thread i'd started about it

[Seanus]

I have just fit mine today, not had chance to test it yet as its hammering it down with snow and i can't even get out of my road lol, hopefully monday i'll give it a go and post the results

 

[BaggyHTID]

Took the car out today and must say it feels loads better, much smoother and seems more solid as before it felt a bit shaky at points like it wouldn't go if you floored it.
£1.50 well spent i think
