About time you came back it's been nearly a year. Hope ya good bud. Sad to see the Audi go but don't worry about it. I've had a mad year too, had a baby, got rid of my Focus ST225 & bought a house & a newer family car now I'm a Dad, It's a 2015 Mondeo Titanium X pack 180bhp 2 litre tdi & it's lovely so far man, no regrets. Wish I'd have done it earlier. Proper nice drive. Look forward to some more content hopefully dude. Take it easy & be careful on ya motorbike if ya still got it. ✌🏼
It’s certainly been a while mate 🤣 wow man massive congratulations to you! That’s amazing, dad duties now 😉 I wish you luck with your new car, home and of course newest member of the family 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Matte, I wish you all the best! I m from Brazil the tunners here are all crap. That is why I decide to put APR Stage 2...it is a bit expensive but no erros or problems on ECU. Again, I wish you all the best! Enjoy the new toy!
Sold my 8P coming up to a year ago now just fed up of constant issues and company's doing bad job at simple things, spent somewhere around 6k rebuilding it and right at 1k mile running in the ceramic tip came off spark plug and chipped the piston threw everything out right then and cut my losses. Got myself an m4 and hasn't missed a beat
Mate I’m gutted to hear that, crazy amount of money all to wrong straight away! I’ve always loved the M4’s wouldn’t mind having one myself one day 🔥 glad you’ve found a good replacement bro
Its so sad to hear this story. When I got mine tuned I didn't have any of these issues. I get it, when things go wrong the love starts to drain away for a car. But once fixed it cames back with interest. Its an expensive car to maintain. Mainly due to that RS badge. I am really happy with mine and my stage 1 and I hope to go stage 2 at some point. Can I ask, what forums were you part of that you found Ben in? I have been struggling to find a forum to call home. Do you have details for Ben? Wish you all the best bro, and I am not much of a bike fan, but I'll still be following along with your projects, whatever they may be.
Selling my RS3 as well mate. I’ve spent more time fixing things than driving it 😅 mine was tuned by the same company that did stage one on your but about 3 years ago 🤔
Yup your 100% on ben....its clear from what i can see that hes by far the best re rs3 8ps....great video....i njoyed it..very interesting...but 4Gs...😮....i can see why you let it go.
@@AutoBay Yes i watched it shortly after the comment. I do have a few questions and things to say but its after the fact and has some irony to it but without me being “that guy” You went to say about safe tunes and other bad tunes out there then ended up with a not so good tune. But the question i had was after you chasing the dash message issue for all that time and spending all that money couldn’t you of just left that tune as it was because you had zero issues till trying to rectify it? I mean you could of had that message for 5 years and it not cost you any more then it did to fix if the worse happened. I know other tuners out there that will pop this message and owners have had it for years and years with zero issues ortho very annoying (i hate even screen wash being low) haha… i know Ben hates MRC and he take great pleasure in slander to MRC with pictures of cars with the MRC badge on the back "map fix" its quite comical as you say mappers slay mappers all the time but i find it a scare mongering way to gain work. iv ran my MRC tune 5+ years now 450bhp 704nm and currently in a group of 70+ people who a good 20 run the MRC tune only 1 person in the group runs TTU tune with am estimate figure… i think good work speaks for itself and blowing out others candles isn't good either way
Glad to see you back 💪👍
Thank you mate 🙏🏼
Glad you finally got round to making this video mate
Me too mate 🙏🏼
Looking forward to the moto content!
🙏🏼🔥🔥

Just wow… What a journey. I understand why you got rid of it, what a load of hassle! Sounds like it gone to a good Owner.
It certainly was a big hassle in the end unfortunately mate… it’s a shame to see it go, but like you said, it’s gone to the right people now 🔥
How much??!!!!!!! Jeeeesus. Well you had a blast mate and you now have two wheels that will destroy most things on the road so fair play! 👌
Crazy money man 😢 but well worth it! I certainly did man, loved every minute of it. The bike would leave the RS3 for dead 🔥😉

Thanks a lot mate! APR are great at what they do man. Good choice, I wish you luck with it! Thanks man 😎

Was your issues actually mapped related tho? And did you just live with the occasional error message on start up?
@@ttrs_8j_ss494 mine barely ever gets the message. Runs great
No way mate! I never knew that either, they can be a pain in the ass can’t they 🤣 I hope it sells quickly and for the price you want bro
@@AutoBay parts cost so much 😅 scratched the itch and Baby on the way. Sensible now 😝
This coming down to not wanting to spend good money for good mapper in my opinion 🤷🏼♂️

He’s spot on mate, he knows exactly what he’s doing. It’s a shame it went bro but it was the right time!
@@AutoBayas ive said before im stayn stock....and your story has just renforced that idea..lol. i just want a reliable well maintained car.
Who did the original bad tune with the original “contact workshop”
I shan’t mention names mate. But you can look back at my previous stage 1 video

Was it a poor map ? That caused that happen, such a shame loved your content on the rs3,
It was unfortunately mate, thanks a lot bro much appreciated!
@@AutoBay so sad mate
So basically the RS3 caught cancer?
This sums it up perfectly 🤣
Get another focus st mk 2
I promise you now, if I’m in a position one day with room in a garage, and the spare cash. I will certainly do another ST build 🔥
Crap tuner eh?
Definitely messed my car right up… that’s for sure
