      Also according to Reliability Index Seat ranks much lower on the board than Citroen
      The Prince engine block is based off of the Citroen TU engine, BMW did the heads. So really is a bit of both. But think Jamie was referring to the normal BMW direct injection engines like all the others (except those few now using direct AND port injection) have valve coking problems.

        Strange how this proble m wasn't picked up across multiple manufacturers of direct injection engines before they came to market. I guess if the symptomscuter reasonably cheap and accessible then it's not the end if the world.

        Anyway, I had my remap done today by Quantum Tuning. I've now got one very eager little DS3 and a wide grin.

            I've had the remap for 2 days, and I've driven about 150 miles in that time. I have to say it's made a big difference to the whole feel of the cat. It's generally far more eager and pulls more strongly from lower revs. The fuel consumption seems to have increased by roughly 1 mpg, but I suspect that's due to me not properly adapting my driving style to the new map and the raised, flattened torque curve. Generally a much nicer car to drive though. Not bad for 150 quid.

                I would agree that if SP Tuning are too far away then Quantum tuning is the next best move,I`m very pleased with the results so far!
