At the very least. The engine is at high risk of being ruined.

I purchased mine from Playskool, which comes highly recommended since not only is it incredibly light, but it also never fogs up.

The OP was, in my opinion, fortunate. If the map had caused the engine to underfuel rather than overfuel, the explosion would have obliterated the engine in seconds. If I didn't want to do it myself, I would have lost faith in the map and remapper and looked elsewhere.

Recover your money by doing it yourself using the MHD phone app and files. They provide map updates on a regular basis, and you can simply switch from stage 1 to 2, 2 to 1, or back to standard at any moment, as well as have numerous settings like exhaust burble, always open exhaust flap, and so on. My 116i performs well with a stage 1 - 136 before reaching 200bhp. The flasher software costs £350, the stage 1 or 2 map costs £98, and the wireless obd interface costs £85 (it also works with diag tools like Bimmer-tool and Bimmercode).

Check your reg number on the.gov mot website. https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk I'm curious whether there's one and what it's for.

Ignore the recall; it is not mandatory. It's a 9-year-old automobile, so whatever the recall is for, it's a little late in my opinion. The majority of them are because manufacturers' corporate backsides have been kicked since the VW emissionsgate for lax compliance. My in-law owns a pair of VWs and was pestered by the local dealer to get them serviced, but he refused. If it's a safety recall, disregard the preceding.

You may compare performance characteristics on fastestlaps.com and determine the horsepower by inputting the registration number into parts sites like autodoc.co.uk.

Test the Oil Pressure to the utmost. Possibly the sensor, at best. faulty sensors can provide inaccurate readings at idle and fail under stress. If it's a sensor, it's worth attempting a simple, inexpensive repair. Also ensure the correct oil filter is installed; even inexpensive filters can serve this purpose. Put on a Good one so it flows properly if it is an inexpensive one. Mann are attractive on them.
