The car took about 40 cranks to fire from cold
I knew right away it wasn’t right
And it wasn’t
They said there’s no reading from the lambda
Even though they knew that in July 2016

 

You said the The car drove like a dream off boost but you dropped it off with issues that you wanted sorting? What were the issues you dropped it off with?

 

That was before they initially mapped it first time around read the thread it’s well documented

 

Did you have 2 different mechanics work on your car to save on money? Your mechanic fitted bits and MM did before mapping?

 

Fit as much of our own parts as we could
Inntercooler , induction kit . Full exhaust , turbo and oil cooler clutch and brakes
Got them put in injectors map sensor fuel pump and 3 port the day of the map

 

Bloody hell...alot of money has went into the car...if no one will come to yours to fix it what's the plan? Will look forward to seeing what the issue was

 

Syvecs next with touscan and sensor pack
And mapping that’s the next plan in new year
Too busy this time of the year to take the car anywhere I’m working 6 days a week soon to be 7 up to the end of January

 

I repeat...

 

Unfortunately not mate

 

The bit i don't get is you went to collect the car after it went back to have a running issue sorted... it still wasn't right but you took the car anyway and handed more money over..
You must of spoken to them prior to making the trip, did they tell you it had been fixed ?

 

They fit ohlins coilovers and whiteline arbs and mishmoto rad and breather system so I paid them for that only
They said the front lambda wasn’t working that it’s possibe the. Rand new sensor was faulty
To get another one replace and see how the car was
I paid for fitting of the parts above and collected the car
Hope that answers your question

 

I wanted my car back after the third time lost all confidence
When we ordeee another sensor and fitted that we still had no reading from it
I wasn’t inclined to go back a 4 th time

You really need to take mm up on his offer on diagnosing, fix etc foc, and if there's some way you can both or 3 of you meet half way regarding recovery etc.

You take it elsewhere to fix then it's still going to cost you all over again from scratch regards map and to fix whatever is broken etc.

You need to draw the line somewhere, take them up on the offer, it's well documented on here so taking it now I don't think it will do anything for them to not correct and fix fault.
I'm sure at this point they will want to correct everything and put it to bed as these threads are not a preferred method lol

 

From the responses Tyron Bob Rawle I had plenty of time to mull it over and he will never touch my car again I have a few options to who’s going to fit and map the syvecs I’ll keep ye posted on developments

 

If they diagnosed a faulty lamba why did they not fit another ?

 

No one had one in stock being a Jdm hatch it’s a bit of an odd ball
I got a new sensor took a few weeks
Removed the sensor that was in the car a matter of months tested the sensor it’s perfect
They could of checked contuinity in the sensor in 5 mins would of told them the sensor wasn’t faulty and then investigated but that told me enough of

 

ICP stock them, MM could of had one within a couple of days...

 

Not in stock there at the time
Sensor took 3 weeks direct from Japan
But the sensor wasn’t in trouble anyway

 

And what if the map isn't at fault and its a dodgy sensor or part that's failed?
Wont look good on you after your posts.
Imo id want to prove that the maps at fault

 

If going syvecs it will probably never be determined if it's the map or not will it?
New ecu and sensor pack.

 

3 failed lambdas in a thousand miles highly unlikely
We already determined the second sensor was working perfectly when we tested it
I’m in a position we’re I don’t want to spend anymore money arseing around with the the oe ecu for what I already paid I’d be half way to syvecs as it is

 

I’ll get the car on a dynonto see what’s going on and how it’s running
Before we change the ecu
I’ll get a full report on what’s going on with it and we will see who’s right or wrong
Id of let bob have another go if he was willing to come to me
After reading his initial posts and the way the thread developed I started to look at other options excluding him

 

but if the ecu is dumping fuel trying to make up for another fault then putting it on the dyno wouldn't prove anything other than it isn't running right

 

We will have to see how it plays out over the coming months
We already know the front lambda isn’t working
That’s a good place to start

 

A syvecs will probably determine what's at fault tbh, they are very smart trick ecus, will all the sensor pack fitted it's pretty much covered.

 

That’s what I want going forward
Tbh couldn’t figure out why bob wouldn’t come here afte he maps all over Europe
Perhaps he doesn’t like free hotels in Southern Ireland
When that became clear early on I had to move on

 

But all he can do at your car where it is, is Map or check the map, at MM he has access to spares, and tools to be able to change and check things,
just my 2pence opinion, but Id have wanted to get to the bottom of the current known sensor issues, and make sure its ok before buying a new ECU and expecting a mapper to then map the car and fault find at the same time,
After this thread it may even put a few mappers off touching the car.

 

Full state of the art workshop here at his disposal and a mechanic
We will have to get to the bottom of the sensor issue going forward

 

Yet the state of the art workshop and mechanic says there is nothing wrong with the car, even though you admit there is a sensor issue?
so once you sort the front sensor issue, and the car runs fine, will you be back to post an apology to those you have slagged off on the forum ?
