Hello everyone,
i have received my tune today and plugged it in and started the car and i comes up with airbag lights, check engine lights and just about everything on the dash.
The revs also drop very slowly and the intake with very loud when letting off the accelerate while this tune in plugged but once i plug the stock one in it runs like normal. I do have a little bit of left 91 in the car at the moment and it’s been tuned for 98ron but this is only while i’m in isolation and can’t leave to get more(only in for 2 more days). Do you have any idea why this would be happening? do you know what i can do fix it?

I suggest you contact MACE as your first port of call as it is their product.

Unfortunately sometimes in life we must wait and this would be one of those cases.

yeah and the different octane would not be causing that dramatic effect surely..

Sorry.

Don't try anything other than fitting the original tune. Don't drive it with the other tune, don't change anything.

I’ve just got a reply from them (was not expecting it this fast) and they said that i should put 98 in as that’s what’s it’s tuned for and they think it’s the cause of the problem. I’ll ask a mate tomorrow to drop some 98 off and i’ll give it go. they also said if i want i can send it back to them and have it returned to run on 91.

so i had a mate of mine manage to drop off some 98 and i’ve put it in and run the car but so far same problems, check engine lights and very slowly coming down off the revs. i’ve got a video just not to sure how to post it on here.
