Hi,

I just wanted to post my experience with Avon Tuning - www.avontuning.co.uk.

Even though it's not Audi related, I can thoroughly recommend them due to the remap I had done on my girlfriend's Fiesta Zetec S TDCi, which I'm now using after having to sell my A4...

I had some initial email dialogue saying what I didn't like about the car and what I hoped to get from it, with Gareth advising me accordingly, offering a choice of economy, stage 1 or stage 2 power maps (I went for stage 2, as I knew I'd be disappointed if I'd just gone for stage 1 at the same price!).

When I took the car over to Avon's workshop, Gareth uploaded the original map from the car and emailed it to his map writers so that they could cross-reference it and send back the best match they had.

Whilst waiting for the map to come back, he checked the car for fault codes, cleared a few and asked me to take it for a spin to see if they came back, as there were a couple of odd ones and he wanted to make sure the car was OK before he put the new map in - a quick blat and check afterwards and it was good to go!

So, with the new map loaded we went back out and I all I can say is that it feels like a different car. It doesn't seem out and out fast, but it feels significantly less restrained, smoother and more driveable. It's got rid of a horrible bit of hunting (which I've seen mentioned by members on the ZSOC forum) and fuel economy has improved. Before, it felt extremely held back, laggy, with big flat spots across the rev range, and just uninspiring, no, crap - driving it now, it's as if the original map had been written incorrectly!

Once again, for the advice, service and the way car drives now, I would recommend Avon Tuning to anyone wanting to get a bit more from their diesel.

Thanks,

Nick
