I want to remap my 1.8t BUT....
« on: 10 October 2011, 18:17 »
Hey guys ive got a 1999 (T) 1.8T with the AGU engine fitted.... Ive been looking through peoples projects on here and have seen some good gains from a R-tech remap with a FMIC and a Ko3s turbo fitted.... Now my car has done quite alot of miles 188k To be precise  :shocked: lol My question is will this just kill the car or will be alright OR should i fit another engine with less mileage and then go for the above mods?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers Lee

with high mileage cars a remap will make the engine parts that are weak break quicker, also depending on the history of ur engine etc

This is what i was thinking, I may just lookout for another AGU engine with less mileage then get it remapped etc.... My car was used via motorway miles due to being a company car prior to me buying it lol

Not that i know of fella, It really does drive well though my boss has got a 1.8T too on a Y plate (on 173k) and he said mine drive's so much better then his and seems more responsive/quicker lol

Nick may reply now it's in here or give them a bell. What stage of tune were you looking to go for? 1 or 2+?

It has high miles but if it has been looked after it will be fine.
