| I went to quattroncis to have my Vrs scanned to clear the steering warning light fault code. My first impressions were very good. No sooner had I got out of my car. A very nice chap from the garage apporached me and asked if he could help. I told him I had phoned earlier today about a scan for my Fabia. He said that I needed to speak to the other chap who had just gone out on a road test but whilst I waited would I like a cup of tea? I accepted and the next thing I hear is a car approaching very quickly down the road. It was a 500bhp Audi they had just built for a customer and it sounded awesome!!! It did a couple of drive bys at warp factor 12. It was bloody quick. Though not quite as quick as my Furby Vrs I might add!![]() The guy who got out of the car was spot on. I think his name was Corey (sorry, I know faces but am rubbish with names!) He said that he had not had any Skoda's and mine was the first to be taken to his garage. He scanned my car and it logged a fault code with the steering, cleared it for me. Whilst I was there I had the steering adjusted. Mine had been set to the lightest setting, so he altered it to the heaviest. Next was the EGR valve. He turned it down for me and what a difference that makes to the car. As soon as I took it on a test run it was immediate as to the difference. It really pulls hard right to the red line and doesnt stop pulling. What an easy mod to make to a car! I would recommend anyone to have it done! My overall impression of the firm is very positive. They are very friendly approachable guys who do not try and baffle you with science. But are straight talking and know there stuff. He is currently building an Audi track car with the customers requirements...wait for it... "it cant have anything less than 700bhp!!" They can custom/live map cars and do so whilst being driven and not on rolling roads. As other firms can do, he can taylor make a car to suit your requirements. Plus he does do Revo too. I will be paying him a visit in the summer to get mine live mapped! If anyone is in the Nottinghamshire area and you want to modify your car. Please bare this firm in mind as they know there stuff and are not expensive either. So thanks quattronics |

| Yes, I was suprised when I first took it out on the road. The re map I have on makes the car pull hard. But when I put my foot down after having the EGR turned down, it was very noticable and pulled even harder than before. The engine seemed much looser and I would defo get yours done! |
