I don't trust the zf. I know it survived 40 dyno runs lol but there's always a chance it won't hold.I've had to take it back to the tuner numerous times now, it stalls when the aircon is on as I'm slowing down. The revs take a nose dive and it cuts out, not all the time but sometimes. Cruise control hasn't worked since the tune and it holds its revs on a cold days on cold start until it warms up. Got new genuine throttle body cos I got told that was the problem, removed the underdrive pulley and put on a race standard size pulley and it still carrys on. Had the aircon system checked by a mechanic and everything seems fine. I feel very upset with the car somedays that I don't even want to drive it.We are having our first child together in July and I can't keep throwing money at it because of "software" issues.Sorry for the whinge!

Those things occurring is just a sign of an incomplete tune. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More worried it'll die on the dyno haha. Like I said I trust Jet, I just know it'll be my luck and it'll sh*t itself. This is what it does on cold start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
