    Hi i am keen to know if having the 170 tdi re mapped will cure the flatness i experience at low revs, ie below 1800rpm.Above this the car pulls like a train, also fuel economy is not great 35-38mpg.Be nice if this could be improved by a remap. If any of you have got the same model and have had experience of a re map please pass on your experiences so that i will have some informed choice as to what to do with my little gem

    Thanks

    A remap can improve low end power and torque, remove any flat spots and also improve fuel consumption.

    I used to own the 170 and the fuel consumption improved by 20% after the remap.

    Let me know if you would like any other info or prices.

    Hi there mate thinking of doing the same thing to my passat tdi 170 sel on a dsg gearbox. Can you guys point out good remap places and how much it would cost and the gains I'd be looking at. I'd be looking for a good full economy map hopefully.
