Vagtech?

Post by maximus4 » Mon Oct 29, 2007 3:59 pm

Hello,
Guys, have any of you taken your Audi S4 to Vagtech in Soulbury before ?. I am going there soon and i am interested if anyone has any comments.

Thanks,

Mark

I had them recommended to me once by a motor trader in Aylesbury (that sold my last car) when I got my S4.

I also spoke to them and they seemed friendly and knowledgeable. I spoke to them about maintaining my S4 and Golf TDI. I never got there though as with APS and MRC all about the same distance away, I was spoilt for choice.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers Graham,
I am just getting some minor repairs done this time. I hope to get a miltek exhaust and remap with my xmas bonus. Remap will be done by MRC tho. I will be getting a REVO 5 hour map to 315bhp from them as a tester..

I've had a few quotes from them, agree they seem knowledgable and friendly, though it took them longer to reply to a mail I sent them than it did Doug at MRC - which is to say, quite a long time :oops:

Can't comment on their work but they knew their stuff when I talked to them.

I'd be interested in your feedback actually as they are pretty close to me - I'm in Luton - and would be interested in what you think of the revo map. I'm almost certain I'm going to get Doug to do it but I'm interested what my S4 feels like with that much more power so I may get the free Revo thing just to see :wink:

guys just 1 thing on the trial map..make sure 1st that when it expires its totally gone from your ECU..otherwise if it leaves a trace of any kind it mite conflict with a map you have done at MRC's..could turn out to be more costly in the end...just a thought..

its a fair point - I wonder if Doug could comment as to if he has had problems at any time in the past - surely we can't be the first couple of guys to think about testing the Revo map before making a decision?

Doug?......

From what I have picked up, I think speaking to Mihnea, when REVO code reverts to "stock", it's a sort of REVO version of stock, not stock stock.

Yes, we have had problems with Revo trials and most tuners out there have too. Not extremely complicated to work around but best avoided if possible.

OK, thanks Mihnea, I'll probably not try the REVO map then! Best start saving for the MRC version :wink:
