I was 24hrs away from a visit to MRC to map my C7, Due to work I had to cancel the trip. A couple of weeks later had a total engine failure. Cost under warranty £40k. All my previous cars had been mapped but this experience has put me off for life. Perhaps I’m just getting old but I honestly think the C7 is way quick enough without a map. Compared to my previous C6 and C5 both needed the mapping but the C7 is a totally different beast👍

What issues were those? Do you have a link as I'm curious to know what you are referring to Ian?
I'd PM RTD for the full story, better than getting it 2nd hand from myself.

I agree with you on this part, but when drive a lot Rs6 we get used to power and then power hunger begins
