Car was fine, tuned at Read Performance and ran well. Last week mot was up but needed a bearing so the mechanic collected the car did the work and mot.
But when it came back it sounded like a Subaru, exhaust stutterring/popping.
I changed plugs, leads and coil...tightened hoses and still my S1 sounds f**ked from its time the mechanic took it for its MOT, they also turned the boost down for some unknown reason.
Engine has only done 1300 miles from new and was fine until the car was returned.
ohh dear, do you know the mot man/ garage well
sounds like a familiar story whereby the garage has collected the car, ranted the bollocks out of it, caused a problem and then tried to hide their tracks by turning down the boost. call me suspicious if you like........
what did the mot man say when you collected it and it wasnt running right?
