You have three good options:

Take it to APS. Ask for Ed

Take it to MRC.

Take it to both of them, they're in Oxon, but definately worth the trip if she is that poorly.

Interested to hear Big Wide Boys or whatever they're called now aren't giving you any help...

Good luck

I heard about your car on Monday, think you took it to camberley Audi.

As Bob said, try APS or MRC.

Personally though, if it is down to AMD i would go back to them.

Don't know the history or what's happened to AMD but if the new owners have taken over then they also take over the previous work. You should still have a warranty to fall back on.

That's if AMD have been taken over and the goodwill has been taken on too.

Best do a bit of homework ;)

If they are as bad as you describe, my mum would have spotted them, let alone 'the old' AMD who would never remap a car running like that without a full health check first.

Seems strange but I don't know the full story.

Good luck. Say hello to Ed for me!

What i was thinking. Unless AMD didn't do ECU work ? Or did it go to AMD for them to fix this fault and they didn't fix it?

AMD do ECU, and always do a health check and dyno first, there's no way they would do any work if it wasn't running correctly.

I'm with you on this one Bob (just in case my post was read wrong)

I don't think any remap/tuning company would touch a car unless it was running right first.

Are you sure it was there before?

What did AMD do and what did you pay and how?
