Someone has mentioned remapping to me today, changing my newly acquired 110tdi into a 145 ish TDi and so on. The car has 130000 on the clock and runs lovely, i've only had it a few weeks. I've just done about 600 miles in the lakes with the car full and got 52 MPG (which i'm pleased with, that's by filling to the neck, the trip computer claimed about 68MPG ??). I mainly bought the car for travelling to work, a 70 mile round trip and for towing a caravan. Is remapping worthwile(extra power would be nice if required), why is my trip computer so far out ?, I had a 85 Opel Monza GSE for 10 years, the computer was pretty close !. Has anyone had their 110, 115 etc remapped, what are the effects. I would appreciate anyones opinion. I don't want my MPG to drop really.
Cheers, Simon.
