Default Who's running Anti lag?

If your als stopped working and it meant you had a 5 and a half hour drive to get it fixed would you really bother??

My als was only active for a day before I encountered issues due to some of the parts I used, and then once I replaced them I could'nt get it to work. Long story short I will have to make this long trip(hopfully it will get sorted in a day) to have the problem resovled.

Due to me only using it for a day I cant really remember if its worth it.
(I run mountune ISCV and TB)

How indecisive are you!? It's your car, if you want it do it, if you don't, don't!

Just tell me its not Engine Advantages you need to take it back to!

Thats what Im saying ,would you drive an 11-12hr round trip spend Ł100-130 on fuel and then however much labour cost come out at to hopefully get it sorted in a day? (but may not and might have to stay in a hotel)

Why do you need to drive so far?

Surely someone closer can help you?

Have you tried when the car is hot ie water temp on 70 degree's as some don't come on untill then anyway and tbh unless the car is hot anyway it will be shit.

Have you tried cleaning and oiling the Mountune top hat as this is usually the problem as they are prone to stick and not open

Most common causes are:

TPS not going to zero properly, or reads unstable.
ISCV Faulty
ALS wire not grounding cleanly.
ACT or ACT tempo out of range.

Some road cars go on track days and "private roads" where it might prove useful/fun.

Indeed, not many of them will let you get away with it.

Though heard some ppl using it at combe.

Would be good if I could get it sorted for Landow(sp?), so small and tight there.
