Hi.
I'm looking to get my non pd TDI 110 remapped, anyone know a reputable place in Wales, preferably West?
-
A guy on here Rhyso is based in South Wales mate,
The only problem with yours is the ecu needs takin out to be benched mapped I believe but shouldnt be differcult to get done atall.
Nick up in Rtech told me how he mapped these and its crazy but worth it. Im sure you can upgrade the injectors and something else and these 110's hit 160bhp+ and a load of torque :evil:
-
Hi.
Yeah I looked into the injectors, you can pick them up pretty cheap but the work changing them looked like too much hassle, then I'd need a custom map. The car only cost me £500 so I'm not looking to throw much into it. Most places seem to quote 143-148bhp and pretty nice torque figures just with a remap and that'll do me as i drove a PD150 the other week and loved it.
I'd just like somewhere localish to take it.
Any idea how much he charges? Or how much Rtech charge? I have emailed them but no reply.
-
Sadly as yours is an ECU out jobby I can't help you out :sad:
It it was a 2000 onwards model then it wouldn't be a problem
-
I think from memory Rtech charges £250.
Rhyso is cheaper but doesnt have the facility to use a rolling road in South wales hes mobile.
If you drive your 110 remapped to 150bhp and a standard 150 bhp golf yours will be quicker as the torque will be alot more from my understanding.
Definatley worth getting remapped even if the car cost you £500 but be prepared to change the clutch if its not fairly new and maybe other parts as a remap doesnt cause damage it highlights whats already worn if that makes sence.
-
Arrhh man, I went to Got boost in Brigdend and he couldnt help me either as the ecu had to come out.
I would keep trying to call Rtech as he will be able to do it but be warned depending on the condition of the car ie turbo, clutch etc you are taking a risk as always with any other car.
Hes based in Leicester but how can you moan you drive a DIESEL lol Iv been up there in my 1.8t petrol 3 times from South wales. :grin:
-
That's my only other issue. The clutch feels tight, turbo seems good but it has covered 143k and the gearbox is a bit notchy, saying that it's got pretty much fsh and nearly all main dealer and 20k left on the cam belt so I'm not that worried. I'm not after 0-60 times nor racing novas from the lights but some more overtaking grunt would be nice for the roads I drive on so the clutch shouldn't get too much of a hammering.
Sadly as yours is an ECU out jobby I can't help you out :sad:
It it was a 2000 onwards model then it wouldn't be a problem
Thanks anyway.
-
Fair enough mate, Leave the injectors and other mods in that case.
Phone Rtech and get yourself up there you wont regret it. Take some hobnobs too as they love em :grin:
-
I'll keep trying today. Cheers for the help!
-
£250 was right, just spoke to them. Better see about getting it booked in then. :smiley:
-
Awseme mate, Hope it goes well for you. The trip home is mental :laugh:
-
rhyso, you able to do a remap on a mk3 with a ko3s agu and already chipped ecu?
-
Same engine as me :cool:
Bloody go well once remapped tidy mate but im sure rhyso have knocked the 1.8t's on the head :grin:
-
iv got a few of the same things as you. forge 007, 2.5" intercooler, 2.5" downpipe and exhaust. the unlocked/chipped ecu i bought i was told was running at aroun 180bhp so, but shall have to see i guess!
-
They go bloody well mate fair play.
I would take all the breather system out too and replace with catch can.
Do you have a turbo intake pipe?
You have good enough flow with intercooler and exhaust so thats sorted.
Which K03s do you have? The silenced version has a good actuator but I still upgraded to a forge unit and the difference once mapped is night and day!!!
If Rhyso cant help mate you have two choices imo R-tech or Badger 5. Both are excellent with 1.8ts but you have to makesure its in good running order as they have many little gremlins which can ruin your day lol Where you based?
-

I don't do 1.8T's full stop I'm afraid mate. I'm mobile and they are bad enough to diagnose problems with a workshop let alone on the side of the road! They suffer so many problems with split pipes, weak actuators etc etc most of which are borderline when you do the pre-map checks. You then chuck more power at the engine and it has a hissy fit.........
Thanks :smiley:

been told about a catch can, im not after big power around the 200ish mark il be happy with!
havent got a tip no looking for one at the moment, didnt realise how expensive they were! hah plus want one in black as all the rest of my pipe work is black.
the ko3s is a the 052 model, not sure what actuator thats running!
i rang up gwent vw earlier today as was recommended them but they cant do it, they said either rtec or jabba sport!
im from neath/swansea

Does the turbo have a big silencer on it like mine below
(http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac125/jamierees1989/2012-07-14124237.jpg)
Yeah the turbo intake pipes are pretty expensive but worth the dollar, you can get them pretty cheap second hand but they never for sale long.
Mate an AGU with k03 will hit a brick wall at 200bhp so k03s would see a healthy 210-220bhp easy.
I would definatley remove the breather system as yours will be degraded by now, mine was terrible causing all sorts of vacuum leaks. If you need a hand give me a shout.
I cant recommend R-tech enough mate.
-
cheers man il look into it.
honestly no idea about the silencer, only photo of the turbo i have before it went on the car

my mates doing the conversion for me but we hit a problem at the moment, the ecu isnt sending a spark signal to the coilpacks, checked all the wiring and the ignition amp is there so no idea! :(
-
Yeah thats the same mate, the actuators on this turbo are really good I was told by Rtech.
Mmmmm thats strange, Whats the fault code?
Some early AGU ecus needed a 12v live feed to one of the terminals to wake the ecu up.
Does it crank over atall?
