265 My Bluefin dyno results...

What fuel was in the tank?

 

The only reason I mention this - and I doubt this will change the results substantially given you're on 98ron already - some maps do prefer 99ron or higher. The k-tech map on my car hesitates under part load with Super97 but is perfectly fine with Super99.

 

This isn't a fuel type issue, almost every customer has experienced faulty maps from Bluefin, the clio 197 and 200T boys are suffering similar problems.

After sales support is shocking too, they refuse to admit there's a problem.

 

Good luck, this one is going to be tough. No chance you paid via credit card? Maybe a chargeback is in order if bluefin don't rectify the issues.

 

Post facts only to avoid any 'legal' issues ;-)

 

Trade standards?

 

To think anything out the box can increase horsepower and not lean out is stupid, you did the right thing by getting the afr checked, loads of people probably won't, end result is a huge repair bill, best way is a stand alone ecu and a dyno session

 

Or just custom map the standard ecu, standalone is not needed

 

Tell them to refund the original £80 health check as it was only required due to their negligence.

Hardly a good outcome in my books, ktec maps are just as unreliable!

 

I would put money on the original map coming from ktec! Sounds like you complained, they went to source, ktec played with it and offered you a new one.

 

if they do they probably went to k-tec and said 'apparently we've fucked this map up and can you do one to see if yours works' - from all i hear regarding maps its all negative from ktec.

i remember about a year ago paul @ RST had a ktec mapped car on his rollers and had to tell k-tec they had fucked up the fuelling... was all over facebook

 

I remember that, proper good old slag off match lol!

Saw David Kirk and Paul having a little chat at FCS a few weeks back, thought to myself at the time 'awkward' !

 

If you use it and get it checked and it's still no good it only gives you more ammo for a full refund? You need to press the point that your a highly regarded forum member and willing to put your experiences across.

 

FLOL! Oh dear so thats a double whammy of fail from both K-Tax and Superlean (see what i did there?)

Im just glad that people are finally paying attention to what everyone has been saying all along. Good luck with your refund OiNK

 

small claims court, useless feckers. RS tuning all day long, worth the travel wherever you live.

 

Did you pay by credit card ? Chargeback ?

 

i would post that on Facebook, first remap to get worse results, epic.

 

Hang on a minute.These figures are at the wheels. I suspect so and a correction factor of around 15% would be added to guess fly power so thats 303 ish BHP at fly.

As a car gets leaner it also produces more power. So the traces look correct. Run richer and you drop power.

that seems to tie up ok to me ?

 

It's OEM map vs remap not his first faulty vs updated map.

I would imagine that's an estimated at the fly though as no standard meg makes 300bhp?

Superlean, love it!!!

 

I take it with these bluefin's they just take one from stock, load a map onto it and ship it to you.

What I mean by that is that there isnt a car specific Bluefin 'hardware' handheld device.

For me its far too close to standard (weather it lean, rich or spot on) to rule out them uploading the wrong file like a standard/back-up file instead of a remapped file...

Dont get me wrong its been delt with in totally the wrong way on there part !

 

If you do go the small claims court route, i'd add on the 2X RR diagnostic runs to the claim too

 

TBH if i were you i'd probably just stick the claim in now anyway (Via moneyclaim online) last time i did one it only cost £75 (IIRC) which you claim back if successful.

But from the sounds of it super chips aren't going to budge on the refund so i'd be progressing the case if it were me.

If you do decide to remote map it again though i'd go with Fastchip, very well respected for mobile mapping (he used to based in Holland, think he's now in the Philippines ) , he's got customers all over the world and even designed the box that paul from RStuning uses for his remote mapping so IMO VERY knowledgeable with Renaults! I've not heard a bad thing about his maps tbh!
