Good luck with defrauding Audi...let us know if they detect your removed map as we have some great debates on here about mapping!!
You pay your money(map) you take your chances fella....

Yeah, take it back to the tuner, I’m sure they’ll pay for it.

Lol - this must be a wind up but hopefully will grow in to some comedy for all to enjoy.

Did you try taking the handbrake off before trying to move off again?

Out of interest, who did you tune the car with? Also (and hopefully you declared the full mods to your insurance) seeing as a new gearbox isn’t going to be cheap, would your insurance pay for this?

You will be fine. Audi met a 8K bill for rebuilding the front of my car when I hit a tree. I told them I thought their cars were "built of granite" and they coughed up. Had I known they were bulletproof too I might even have got a courtesy car.

My 1st RS4 B7 tomatoe was MRC Stage 2 mapped and the engine, 2 x clutches both EPROMs etc etc were replaced under Audi warranty no questions asked. I didn't tell them it was mapped but it did have a Milltek exhaust KW suspension etc etc. Make sure that the EPROM is completely removed of the map, your tuner should know how to do this and put latest Audi map on.

Things have moved on somewhat since B7 days. You cannot just remove. Plenty of threads elsewhere.
