Yes, I know there are a ton of posts around the subject. But I just wanted too ask people, that have a TDI that is not a 130/150 if they have had there's mapped, and what difference it made, if there happy with it, changed the fuel consumption etc? Sorry if this post annoys any of you :rolleyes:
-
Ive had my 115bhp gt tdi remapped, and the difference is mad, will outrun a stock 150 tdi now, well upto 90ish anyway lol, well worth the money, :cool:

Sounds pretty good, I mean, in my opinion, its pretty stupid goin much quicker then 90 on half the roads, so many damn idiots out there, not your own driving you have to worry bout now days. You got the milltek exaust, induction kit or anything else??
-
get it mapped you know it makes sense.. my 150 was mapped by RTech in 2009 and going for a refresher this saturday..
you can get a map without any mods..
-
I will get one when I can I think Tech, thought you sold your Mk4??
-
my leon has been mapped by RTech :smiley:

Any tips on what too look out for with them?? My mate is looking too get one, dont think he wants a diesel tho.
There quick anyway, so I'm sure she flies lol!!! So you did get rid of ya Mk4, aint u still got another golf lol??
-
No i honestly miss my mk4 like f**k lol i still have my mk2 and the leon..
na they are a mk4 golf so same problems.. only downside is interior feels more plasticy !!
-
Well the cupra petrol standard is like 180/200 odd break i think?
Lol You work with cars as a job mate? I saw ur old project post, was rather impressed I must say lol!!!
What were the little things that made a diff for you with the Mk4? I'm sure you prob had the 1.8T tho. Seems the most popular, for people not strapped for cash!
-
Cupra R is 225bhp standard..
Na dont work with cars for a living just for fun lol... yer i had the 1.8t of course lol
Best things i done to my mk4 were.. catch can.. remap.. induction kit.. 007p.. exhaust..
if i had kept it i would have decatted it as well..
-
Well, no point me doing half of that as I have a 100TDI lol
-
You can exhaust.. air filter.. and remap.. will make a difference honestly even with a 100tdi.. will feel more revvy and more power.. you can even fit a catch can if im not mistaken..
-
Decat
Remap
Job done

After having driven a 130 and now a well looked after 150 I kinda doubt that as the difference beween the 130 and 150 is very noticable. The 150 25th anniversary model Im getting goes like a bat outta hell and its stock. More power to ya if it deos tho. :cool:
-
You want to fit a decat pipe with a remap as the stock system is very restrictive, i fitted mine after remap and i did actually notice a marked improvment in top end power.
-
I had my standard tdi 130 remapped by Ben from R-Tech yesterday, all I can say is wow! Such an improvement and service R-Tech provide is excellent. I would recommend a remap to anyone. Torque levels are amazing. De-cat next for me.
Fuel economy has improved on run to work this morning, although that will make up for yesterday's journey home when it was defiantly down!!! :-)
-
Well, I totalled my previous golf.
I now have a 130 TDI.
It's bloody quick haha! How do you guys test your top end then, where I am there isnt many places you can really go flat out.
Most I've had out of mine is like 110mph. An that is just standard, she still wanted to go aswell haha!!
But yeah, is it worth me getting a Decat exhaust then, before I ever get it re-mapped?

Mine was 130mph+ when standard
You can remap then decat; doesn't really matter unless you want the tuner to push it a little harder as you have less restriction in the exhaust
-
My exhaust could be on the way out, that's why I was asking Rhyso, but I know the decat pipe makes it illegal aswell?

No it doesnt. CAT is different from DPF. You wont need a cat to pass your MOT

I got told that you can't have an exhaust without a Cat?

Petrols YES. Diesals no unless the rules have changed
-
Yeah mine is the 130TDI Rhyso lol
-
Mines 200 from 170. I always get them remapped. Once you've got it done the first time you drive the car put your foot down there will be a huge grin on your face...and i mean a big grin :grin:
Anyone out there fit the LED bi xenon headlights?????????????
-
Had my 150PD remapped by Rtech to 185/320 and the car is amazing now. So fast in all gears. Forget 2nd in the wet though lol.
My boost pipes are looking a little tired and the car has done 207k so they didn't map it to the limit. Best to be on the safe side than send a customer out to have their turbo pop 100 miles later. Top service from Rtech!
Just put a full tank through it and averaged a healthy 53mpg. Tootled 120miles @ 55mph with the computer reading 68.2mpg haha.
-
golfhappy, you mean bulbs or actual light fitment?
I don't have a clue how too use my Trip computer too see how many mpg I do etc lol, only have it on when driving so tells me what I am currently doing apparently. I gave up trying too work it all out hahaha
