Remap to VOLKSWAGEN Golf 1.9 TDi 110ps to 150ps

[smiiithy]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if somebody could give me some advice. I'm looking at buying a VOLKSWAGEN Golf 1.9 TDi (97 - 04).

What I want to know is could I buy say a 2003 1.9 GT TDI (110ps) and remap it to the same as a 2003 1.9 GT TDI (150ps) without changing any other parts?

• Would this need to be via a full remap or could I just get a plug in chip?
  What are the cost implications of both?
  If I would need a full remap where is the closest location to the North East I could get it done?
  If I was going to make other performance enhancing modifications would it be best to get these done before the remap?
  Are there any particular performance enhancing modifications you would recommend before the remap is done?

Cheers,

Mike

Hello,



The 110 AHF & ASV engines uses the older mechanical pump fuel delivery and the by remapping you will get close on 140bhp, but by fitting .216 nozzles. and a custom remap should see you closer to 160+bhp, for more power you will need a bigget turbo and remap to match.

If your looking for a and your planning on tuning go for one of the PD version, 115bhp 130bhp or 150bhp, all of the PDs can be tuner really well with the stock parts, plus its very easy to go donw the bigger turbo route.

So any Volkswagen Golf Hatchback (97-04) 1.9 TDI 115bp, 130bhp or 150bhp should all be the PD's?

Basically I'd much rather have a 150bhp but obviously insurance is cheaper for the lower BHP models and I'm having trouble working out which is PD and which is not. Here are insurance quotes for a few different models:

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GT TDI (110BHP) 1896cc 5 DOOR 1998-----£754.10

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GT TDI (115) 1896cc 3 DOOR 1999----- £754.10

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GT TDI PD (130) 1896cc 5 Door 2001-2003 £754.10

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GT TDI PD (150) 1896cc 5 DOOR 2002-----£848.60
VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI TDI PD (150) 1896cc 5 Door 2002-----£974.60   

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GT TDI PD (180) 1896cc 2002-----£1,009.25

180PD?

[smiiithy]

I couldn't find one either but it was listed as a model on my car insurance drop down

The drunkin hunt is on.......

Does  anyone know if all VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GT TDI (150) 1896cc 5 DOOR 2002 are PD's? There is only the PD option on the drop down for 150's but I don't have the reg of the car I'm interested in to be sure.

Oops. Little did I realize I've been making my car insurance quotes £50 more expensive by putting Immobilizer & Tracker instead of Engine Immobilizer so it's only £794.00 for the VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GT TDI PD (150) 1896cc 5 DOOR 2002

Does this car have any security features?
Engine Immobilizer £794.00
Immobilizer & Tracker £848.60

you've answered your own question early in the thread but yes 115bhp, 130bhp and 150bhp are all PD engines

There was NEVER a PD180bhp so your insurance company is wrong; only the petrol's came in 180bhp form

Car has a Thatcham Category 1 alarm and immobiliser fitted as standard

Nick,

What is the price of a R-Tech Spec1 remap for a golf?

If I was to have a remap done on a Golf 4 1.9 TDI PD 150 by R-Tech and took it to 190bhp do you have any figures on estimated 0 - 60 and top speed I might expect?

And if I decided I wanted to make other performance enhacing mods would you recommend doing these before or after the remap or does this not matter?

Cheers,

Mike
