I have always been in the frame of mind that my car don't ever need remapping , and have never seen the point ( car fast enough as it is ) , but from getting friendly with rhyso and kris from this site, they both convinced me to have one done !!! I did not know what to expect in a way , so rhyso came to my house this morn , and hay presto done !!! Now for the test drive !!! I could feel straight away the difference in my car just going down my street , hit the motorway and bloody hell !!!!! She was f@@@ing flying !!!! I'm well impressed !!! Cue a speeding fine soon !!! My car is running at 240 bhp now !! ( I know there are a few with more bhp) but I'm bloody flying !!! He has even got me putting supreme unleaded in my car now !!!! So cheers Rhyso lad !! :wink: deano lfc

Seen many Mk5's not make the expected power on RR's!
-
Seen many Mk5's not make the expected power on RR's!
Thats because most MK5ers expect / have been told they would get more than what is realisticly possible (Revo :lipsrsealed:)

What Deano has is approx 235bhp+ but its the way that power is delivered. Its very linear and very smooth; it even has diesel like torque in the lower rev range :shocked:
-
No I was thinking of standard cars making below 200bhp!
And getting an extra 1 bhp on superunleaded! :grin:
But yes I agree with the Revo thing and not forgetting bluefin either! :laugh:

That's because their official power output is 197BHP. Their German power output is 200PS :nerd: :grin: :grin:
Most MK5's I've seen make near as damnit their factory numbers in stock form :smiley:
-
Shows how much I know about Mk5's then! :embarassed:
I thought they were 204bhp!

ok so for a newbie can someone explain how this remapping thing actually works ? Specifically :
- what (mechanically or otherwise) gets done to my car ?
- what results can i expect
- how long does it take
- what is a ballpark figure of what its gonna cost
- will it affect my insurance

Rhyso smacks the stereo with a laptop untill the car behaves as it should :wink:

Mechnically; nothing. Its all done via the ECU software
Depends on the engine. Take a TDI 140 for example, you can expect to see another 30bhp and 50lbs ft torque; possibly more depending on the remap
Including a diagnostic check around about 90 minutes; depends if any faults are found. Most tuners will advise of potential faults and either help to fix them for a fee or advise you to get them sorted and come back for a remap. Any decent tuner will not remap a car if they think its unhealthy :smiley:
Most remaps start at £200
Yes it will as you should tell them and it varies depending on your age etc like all insurance premiums

I don't use a laptop too, I use my hammer :evil: :evil: Cheaper to replace :grin: :grin:
-
- what (mechanically or otherwise) gets done to my car ?
- It adjust the settings of your ECU, mainly the fuel/air rations to achieve more power. Someone else (Doc) would be better suited to describe what it actually changes. Google isnt a bad shout either.
- what results can i expect
- From a standard MK5 GTI expect to see 235-240bhp
- approximately 1 hour.
- what is a ballpark figure of what its gonna cost
- This depends on who you go to (http://www.carbon-chiptuning.com/ / http://www.r-techpower.co.uk/index.php / http://www.revotechnik.com/ / http://www.tuningwerkes.com/ etc)
- will it affect my insurance
- Technically you should be telling your insurance company, yes.

AlanD, Rhyso - cheers for the replies
So other than making the motor go like the clappers will remapping it provide any other side effects e.g. will my already p*ss poor MPG head further south ?

What sort of MPG do you get at the moment and what's your driving style?
If you drive it sensibly after the remap your MPG will improve slighty; however if you have an engine fault the remap will amplify the problem and make it a lot worse!
You need to ensure your engine is in tip top condition before getting it remapped :smiley:

In reality your MPG Should (could) improve.
How heavy is your right foot?

no engine problems that im aware of.
im probably as guilty of "lead foot" as any other gti driver and mpg hovers at about 30mpg because of this :smiley:
