Audi TT / Service history advice

[P ELLIS]

The Focus RS Mountune/Revolve remap isn't just a remap, it is a completely different map, produced by Revolve who develop a lot of calibrations for Ford as their core business

true but it highlights the generalisation that a remap is detrimental although i have had a revo one that was a bit ott and was taken off for one from shark.

I think the ABS/ESP lights can be an issue to sort if they develop problems and can be expensive to fix .

Yes, but that is true of all cars if you are paying a garage to fix it,

When I gave my daughters TT the once over the nearside ABS sensor connector was coming apart, I understand this is quite common on TT's, it took two minutes to fix. I think that unless you have a pretty sophisticated reader you need VAG-com to dig the faults out.

i had one go on one of mine , the plug was brittle and i got the loom and after a lot of messing replaced it , the part loom was not expensive in the grand schemme of things but long winded iirc tracking it back to the join

Not sure what is going on at TZ.

This is another thread that has me scratching my head.

I'm fairly sure I can tell a much more subtle power difference than a 15% hike.

For example, my cars run best on Shell. Then BP. Then it doesn't matter as they all seem to be the same. I use garages where the fuel turnover is high so it's fresh. Is this all in my mind, too?

Bit like adjusting tyre pressure - fairly sure I can tell the difference between 30psi and 34psi. Or perhaps it's just me imagining it.

I'm willing to listen - if it's the placebo effect then I'll stop bothering to make small adjustments to my cars.

Me too.

Years ago I had a Pulsar GTiR, and a friend liked it so much that he bought one.
Mine was running one bar of boost, his was standard at 0.7 bar.

The difference was stark and immediately apparent! I can't recall who tuned mine, it might have been Norris Designs. Either way, at 280bhp (verified) my car just felt so much more aggressive than his, and was clearly faster on the road too.
Upping the boost, and 'chipping' cars within tolerance is the cheapest way to increase performance in any meaningful way. And for those still not convinced that it's worth looking at:
