Just bought a 172 cup , has had a reflash and F4R camshafts?

[Jack 172]

Just looked through receipts and it had quite a bit spent on F4R camshafts which I don't know what they are and a reflash, I take it that the reflash is a remap? But a bit new on this so any help is appreciated

who done the work

So you brought it then. F4R is the model of the 2.0 engine so likely to be standard, although not 100%. Again a reflash could mean a remap or just a ecu reset.

Who carried out the work?

 

[Jack 172]

Yeah i did peanut, we'll chuffed work was carried out by angelworks in or near Peterborough ? The cams were 510 and the reflash was 255?

 

[172Ben]

F4R cams??

 

[Jack 172]

F4R cams??

yes ben says on the invoice f4R camshafts at £510

 

[172Ben]

Must be camshafts for the F4R, as that's the engine type.

 

[Midnight]

Re-profiled camshafts maybe?

 

[Chip-mk1]

510 sounds about right for cams, but not including fitting.

Contact angelworks and see if they have any record of what exactly was done?

Definately wouldnt mind popping in for a service!

They closed down a long time ago iirc. Ben was a fountain of knowledge! They'll be decent cams if he fitted them.

If its a 'reflash' to me it sounds like someone has had a set of original cams installed and the ecu reflashed to the original map?

 

[yeecup]

lol at ben the fountain of knowledge. not what i remember him best for.

Thanks for all the replies just seems weird that new standard cams have been fitted after to car was only 4 years old ? 53-07??

Could've been put back to standard after using aftermarket cams, I didn't mean the standard cams failed

Good chance that Ben at Angelworks fitted some non original cams. He did alot if early development work on F4Rs. Seemingly wasn't fantastic at other aspects of running a business but he knew his stuff.
