Re: re mapping question???
is it possible that it has been remapped before?
it is possible to put a standard map back on, and i think im right in saying that a decent tuner would have downloaded your old map just in case you were not happy with the new one.
if they did download it, they should refund you and put the old map back on.
Re: re mapping question???
dont think its been mapped before its a 1 company owner car.
just been for anther quick spin it seems to me like the turbo is coming in sooner and harder but theres no difference in torque and i still have a flat spot below 1200 revs in 1st before the turbo kicks in.
ive read and heard that buy having a car mapped you should get better mpg but at the moment the turbo seems to be in for longer using for fuel i would have though?
what i need is some imfo from other 130 drivers that have had there cars mapped.
but any imfo would be good.
one last thing if the tuner that mapped it dident down load the old map wheres that leave me :aargh4:
Re: re mapping question???
they should be able to get hold of a "standard" map to put on it.
Re: re mapping question???
has anyone here own a 130 witch they have had remapped
whats it perform like and have you noticed any inprovment in mpg

Check out https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/s...ight=chip+spin
Sounds like your car may have a fault, or the remap wasn't very good.
Have you run VAG COM and checked live data on a road test?
Re: re mapping question???
Sounds like either a fault with the car, a bad map or not mapped at all. I have seen some very poor maps on the TDI's before so it is possible i'm afraid.
Why not take it to a rolling road and have it checked out (maha, dyno dynamics or similar braked dyno)

Re: re mapping question???
I'm having my 2004 TDI 130 re-mapped by 'Angel' this Friday, l'll let you know what happens.
I've heard 'Angel' give a top spec service....so here goes....I've asked not to compromise the longivity of the running gear, so they suggest 130bhp to 170bhp power increase and 230lbf to 295lbf torque increase. They do offer more increse, but dropping it slightly seems safer
Re: re mapping question???
ive driven a friends 130 se passat today and there's definitely a fair bit of difference.
ive also had a go in my mate golf gti tdi 150 bhp even although there's a lot more noticeable difference in the way the turbo pull on my car, the gold has a much better smother power delivery and it pulls away from my passat to from a standard start.
i was expecting the same sort of power delivery after a re map there's bags of torque in the 150 golf
Re: re mapping question???
i have driven my mates 130 passat which was remmaped aswell,and i didnt like it at all.It was boosting stupidly and power delivery wasnt smooth.wasnt nice car to drive.and loads of black smoke
