jbs said the car is running loads better now the cambelt is fixed (obviously) :rolleyes: and will be doing the final touches tomorrow to make sure they are 100% happy and finished so will pick the car up tomorrow night after work! :D

the guys at JBS have been wickid at sorting seat's problems out and having to start the whole remappping process 4-5 times over :doh: they have spent alot of time on the car not knowing the problem with the cambelt so i simpathise with how long it has taken!

i will report back tomorrow with all the low down ul just have to be pateint for anouther day :)

How do u know it wasnt just an excuse with the cambelt? seems a bit strange that it even needed to be touched as your car hasnt got that many miles on it has it?

it had a cambelt put on it about 3/000 miles ago for warranty work as the water pump went and the exhaust to turbo bolts had rattled loose and the gasket had gone so as precautions they changed the cambelt for a new 1 too.

when the car was returned from the seat garage the engine management light was on so i went back inside and complained obviously and it was switched off! i drove off and the next day the engine management light showed up again so i took it into my work and wired up the diagnostics kit and the fault code was crank position sensor! ever sinse it went into the garage the engine management light would come and go!

a few months later it goes in for a 30,000mile service and the turbo internals had gone and they turned the engine light off and said the turbo needs replacing then a couple of months on it goes into jbs and they have big problems getiing it to run properly and they stip the the engine down to fine the cambelt was a tooth out witch exsplains every thing

jbs have done nothing wrong :shrug: its all seat to be blamed realy!

i'd go for the lsd as soon as bud, my mate had a go in my lude and he has has UK spec ones for years and he couldn't believe the way the car pulled out or corners etc, even manages to get it drifting round a roundabout on the local industrial park on a damp evening and you could hold it all day:wtf:
