Answer this Question guys.
Ok so I've played a bit more with the car and will soon be in the hands of a mapper again soon.
Phoned a few very reputable places as quoted on SN. The car already has ECUTEK so don't need to buy the license. Prices range from £650 from one mapper through to £240 from another. The most expensive and the most cheapest are highly recommended on here so can't see why quoted more than double from one place to other. Both places knew I have already got ECUTEK, both have 4wd rolling road, neither have mapped the car before and both have many years of experience. Very strange. :confused: |
£650 that would be from??? seems like they want to rip you.
|
Theres clearly been a misunderstanding with regards to the ECU licence which you should possess. Without the licence a map is around £600-650, with its about £250-300.
Very much doubt a reputable and well known mapper on here would look to rip you off, especially given the bandwagon/snowball effect it would create on here :freak3: I'd ring around again and make sure it's know the car has the ECU and licence and see what a "tweak" map would cost. I'd have thought this would quash any misunderstandings as above :) |
I definatly told them I had a ECUTEK already on the car, so wouldn't need to buy a license again, and he promptly said "oh that knocks £150 of the price so it would be between £500-£650 +VAT depending on RR time. I will ring again and see what they say this time.

If it was me, I'd be avoiding said company unless theres more to it that I haven't seen :wonder: |
No mate exactly as you see it, have never used the said company so cannot comment on the quality of work or service, Think I will be using a road mapper. Just make sure you people ring around as you can save yourself a load of money.

thus is a good point as i have the same prob witha tuner in norwich saying if i have a echtek i would still have to pay £500 plus to get it remapped as the car is running a little bit lean and not rich is this right???
|
I would expect the bill to be higher if using a RR, as that's an extra cost to be added, I guess £70 + VAT an hour would be cheap...
2 hours is £160 + £350 for mapper = £500 as near as dammit. dunx P.S. Are you ABSOLUTELY sure you have an Ecutek licence, not just someone's word that it has, as that's a nasty surprise on the day, PPP doesn't count by the way ! |
No definatly has got ecutek, has been mapped once but I'm modifying once again so will need it done again, best quote has I have at the moment is £120 a hour that rolling road with a mapper and he reckons it shouldn't go over two hours.

talk to jollygreenmonster, he's a member on here

Sounds about right.
Good luck. dunx |
Dean,
Are you going to be using someone local with a 4wd RR, or are you travelling? Just asking as I would like a mapping session, and also live in Wolves. If you don't want to mention names openly, would you PM me mappers detalis? Keep us updated anyways! |
Spoke to a Mapper who is coming to the midlands in 4 weeks is name is Andrew Carr. Road map which wipes the original map and rewrites in road conditions sounds good to me.
