Remaps from Aptuning

[Aptuning]

Just so I keep fresh in your minds. APTuning in Kent can remap most makes and models on the market. Prices from £295 including warranty!

Dare i say :

"Tempting price so show me the graphs" ... or will that get me in trouble? :confused:

[Aptuning]

If you need graphs then I would need to know what model you would want graphs for? APTuning doesn't actually have a rolling road but my main dealer Viezu Technologies bromsgrove (aka chippedUK) I'm sure would have graphs to prove the work that we carry out. They after all have been dealing with various motorsports companies over the years like Oakley porsches! And they supply myself with the proven software to programme into my customers vehicles.
If only I had the money to have my own dyno :(

Great :D

It's for an A4 Avant '09 2.0TFSI Manual

Cheers

I will have the graphs from Viezu tech bromsgrove on monday and will try and post up. I tried to get them today but due to a fire a few units along which contained gas canisters they have not been open for business.

Cheers for the link but I've alread eliminated them from my selection process. I think I know where I'll go but until since my replacement 2.0T quattro is not due until September I've time to check them out and ensure I get the one that suits me.

Cheers. That'll be appreciated :beerchug:

I was thinking of getting the remap done but does anyone know how it affects the car's warranty with Audi?

[ScottyUK]

If the remap causes an issue then that issue isn't covered. All remaining things are still covered.

The grey area is whether the modification actually caused the issue and then the costs if they prove it did. i.e. they can charge you their research time.

If you want 100% peace of mind don't do it.

However it's very rare for a remap from a reputed company to causes issues.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to get the graphs from Viezu Bromsgrove yet but will get on it tomorrow. I haven't forgotten, just been very busy.

As ScottyUK has already stated about the issues, This is why Viezu themselves and it's dealers like myself, are confident enough that there will be no issues that waaranty is given with every remap. And even the isurance companies approve Viezu software!
Until recently (because I sold it) I have run a focus ST225 with a remap on it for some 7,500miles without a single problem and the car had even been back to the dealers for some recall work and I even told the dealers it was remapped and that it was my business! They didn't seem to care.

[ScottyUK]

No worries about the delay. My replacement car (the one to be chipped won't be here until September) so this is just research time for me :beerchug:

I wasn't aware of your warranty. I assume it just covers the software of something. I doubt you are stepping up to the plate and saying if Audi say the remap has caused the issue then you'll cover all the associated costs? :confused:

[Aptuning]

The way it works is that IF the remap is found to have caused an issue then yes my main dealer Viezu Technologies will stump up to have things sorted. But this just will not happen as the Viezu software is used world wide and I cannot remember hearing of a single case where the warranty has had to be used. And Before Viezu would pay out at all they would need the chance to look into the matter for themselves as they can't just pay out on the say so of 3rd parties. Which I think is fair enough.

[ScottyUK]

That sounds pretty impressive! I've not known anyone do this apart from Superchips who have an addition charge for such a thing I believe.

If they need to see the car (I know it's a very remote probability) are they in Outer Mongolia or around the country? I imagine if they want to see the car then the owner would need to cover the costs until it's proven.

The grey area I guess is where the remap is performing exactly as it should but Audi say the increased performance caused the issue....although I can't think of a good example! :o :D

p.s. Do you have the small print of what's covered in a pdf of text format? I'm very interested in this as over the years many Audi franchise's have misled punters into thinking they have full warranties after modifications. Audi UK's stance is that this is not the case hence there's lots of miselling out there. I'm obviously not suggesting this is the case here. It's just an area I've been very interested in over the years due to modding my cars :beerchug:

Viezu tecnologies bromsgrove is in Bromsgrove in worcestershire or the HQ is in london. Please see http://www.viezu.com (http://www.viezu.com/) where you will find more information also there is a contact number that you can ring to get the FULL info you require.
Please remember that the dealers are a law unto themselves, even though plenty of tuners actually remap cars for dealers. If they say a problem is down to the remap then it is then the tuners job to prove otherwise. If you use a reputable company then you will find that the remap will not have any adverse affects to your vehicle. All we are doing is loading new/tuned software to the ecu which basically makes the vehicle run at it's optimum. All vehicles are detuned from standard to allow for different climate conditions and different fuel grades. When a new map is made for a vehicle things like the UK's climate and fuel grades are taken into account so the car will benefit in every way.

here are the Dyno results for a 200hp model a4 2.0tfsi
file:///Users/nancyturner/Desktop/ori.jpg

These figures are realistic figures but more can be gained as maps can be customed to the customers needs. We have no need to post the HIGHEST figures that have been attained. We prefer to show more realistic figures, or average if you like. Too many people out there quote figures to the customers, and then when they have their cars dyno'd complain that they are not getting what they were quoted. So we try to give approx figures. Viezu bromsgrove had a customer today from here (sent by myself) who owns a golf 1.4TSI 140bhp model. On the first dyno it made 133bhp (not the quoted 140bhp) after a few adjustments and a custom remap on the dyno later, it was pushing out 190bhp i believe! He was quoted 205bhp from Revo but I personally think that would be with a few other mods.
The guy hopefully will be doing a review on his experience in a week or so's time. So keep an eye out for it as it may just sway you towards using a viezu dealer like myself. I hope this all helps.
Remember that by clicking on my signature or the viezu link you can find economy or performance details for your vehicles.

I looked at the FAQs on their website and it says "we even give a 24 month software warranty to you." That's what I expected. It doesn't make up for the manufacturers warranty if the remap is too blame for any physical damage. This is the normal type of cover you get with remaps and nothing out of the ordinary to be honest.

Cheers for the above however I don't believe the A4 engine is the same as that. I believe it's a new 2.0T engine. Audi are running two 2.0T engines across different models.

[Aptuning]

Sorry we don't offer manufacturers warranty or a warranty that would replace the manufacturers warranty. 2 years against any defect that the Viezu software may have caused if it is proven to be the software.
