Hey guys, thanks for the advice you gave me about the remap. Decided to get it done at the weekend and thought I would give you all an update!
I live in the Mountains in Scotland and for a change the weather was okay, just a couple of short sharp snow showers but it was mostly sunny and the snow wasn’t lying. Also hardly and cars on the roads and the ones that were there were mostly parking up for views and photos. Perfect to take it down single lane tracks and over all the high level mountain roads and throw it around into the corners! I have to say it is just sensational!!! It has so much more power it is unbelievable!!! The torque is also way better, seems like a diesel taking off even in the higher gears without needing to change down!!
Acceleration to 60 in 2nd is just instant, going up the hills when you floor it in 3rd you can feel it scrambling for grip all the way to the red line before getting into fourth and of course remembering to slow down for hitting the top of the hills and not taking off! Taking the car through the corners at 60 and then roaring out in 3rd really is great, so much faster and instant than before the remap. I could get used to this!!!
On the subject of DSG it works really well. With the extra torque and power available it doesn’t need to kick down as far making it smoother and of course it is just fabby in manual mode!!
So far so good, I just need to remember not to use this power when heading towards the built up areas and just have fun over the hills on the deserted windy roads!!!
