Re: garage that can retune an engine in Kidderminster area
Once you have serviced it with new plugs, leads, distributor cap and arm,
new air filter, fuel filter and oil filter with the oil change too.
Then look for a garage that will check the timing and adjust it (if necessary), and mixture and adjust that if needed.( any garage should be able to do that...and the above)
tune up done? Basically yes but...
... you can take it further and find a rolling road service, where the technicians will put the engine through it's paces and adjust the main jets for optimum performance... however you may find that VW got it right, and it was unnecessary

Unless it's a diesel in which case you need the pump timing and tappets setting to spec.

If you decide to try the rolling road option, I can thoroughly recommend Aldon Automotive in Brierley Hill.

Not had a WBX done there but they worked absolute wonders on the various Minis and Alfas that I have taken there. They have a very successful racing team so that shows their mettle.
