Remap insurance risk..

[Hotrocks888]

Thinking of a remap on my 130 tdi, noticed the insurance goes up 100notes

on a standard looking car ,standard alloys ,no tints etc

what are the chances "if" i have a major crash how detectable is the remap &

how much do the insurance people look into things like this..

Most re-maps are hidden from they .. they could only see car has been re-mapped by data logging the bosst etc.. And they dont do that sort of thing..

Stay away from re-chips as they can see them.

Not telling you not to tell they.. But try telling them its a ECO and it will gain on power and responce but its to gain on MPG...

yup remaps are fairly undetectable, the only people who can find it really are the people who put it there!

not even main dealers know any different, aslong as it is remapped using the original ECU and not a new chip then you will be just fine matey. go for it!

REVO are pretty good, £399 will the price full the full job.

Got quote for generic remap from forge gloucester

(no dyno)

gt tdi 130 standard

approx figers given from stage 1 remap -

130bhp -170bhp (40bhp)

240ft - 310ft (70ft)

200 notes all in (with week to deside to revert back to original ecu setting and full refund .




Found any cheaper than that who knows what there doing in the aera?even though that is very cheap !

sounds like a great price! the figures seem descent, generally similar everywhere you go.

any warranty offered??
