    Probably lolabouts with no actual qualifications.

    Theres been a spate of 'tuners' been caught out on the MLR, their work been shown up for what it really is, im sure every other car niche is the same.

    I honestly think it was an error on this part, but not one I'm willing to put up with. To then test and map the car with it out is worse.

    The engine still feels and sounds good good, isn't using any oil and behaves as well as it can. The map is shocking though, they really don't know that much about mapping and are sadly trying to use customers as guinea pigs without telling them.

    Wilky knows the full story and has seen some of their work first hand. If I don't get the compensation I'm after (and I have no doubt this will go to court) then I will make it all very public with the help of a few people across the RenaultSport community and hopefully do irreparable damage to their reputation. I've had words with a few potential customers

    About 40degrees? A, are you actually sure about that? B, how bad were your temps before? Cooler upgrades bag you a dozen degrees or so usually.

    I'm hitting 65 degrees Celsius.

    Most higher spec people (Si included) with a decent cooler are hitting 20!

    It's not broken, it's just on a spec not designed to be ran with the standard intercooler.
