sorted byBull. Quite Simply. Your "M8" was pulling your todger, buddy.. 170BHP tops, and in a Diesel, the torque's a more important figure..
Do you come with a zip modification to prevent childish, ill thought-out, and frankly puerile comments left on genuinely good deals?
Where to start? Why would it only be "Chavs" that do this exactly? I've known plenty of older gentleman with Rover's who've performed this modification for a little extra help towing their caravans.. But please do explain yourself, this is after all an open community for public views..
Why is this dangerous? Again, please do enlighten us, because we all respect your right to an opinion, however mis-guided it may be. So, for instance, let's take a 2nd generation BMW 318.. You may even have one yourself. If you buy the 318i variant, you have 113BHP. If you buy a 318iS, you have 140BHP. Same engine, different map. Another example, sticking with the old gentleman and his Rover. Let's say he has a Rover 75 2.0 Diesel. This used the same 2.0 Diesel lump as the E46 BMW 320D. In the Rover it has 116BHP. In the BMW it has 135BHP.. Is this some kind of magical Voodoo, or is it in fact just a different map? I'll let you decide.
Just so we're all sure of the crux of your argument though, BMW is releasing "Dangerous" cars because the same engine runs a map with slightly more power? This is big news.. Surely you should go to the press with this, and alert buyers to the potential danger?
Or maybe you should just keep your small minded and unfounded opinions to yourself?
Cracking deal BTW, OP - Voted hot
By the way, why is it "chavvy" to remap your engine? I want mine remapped so i dont have to go out and spend/lose money buying the same car with a different engine. Works out to be far more cost effective, especially since it improves your fuel consumption as well.
Im guessing all these people calling it "chavvy" are driving round in prius' and drive on motorways at 56mph whilst wearing a flat cap.

You need to get out more.
No, it just improves fuel consumption and performance.
That's a very ignorant thing to say. Also, voting cold because a deal isn't relevant, or doesn't appeal or apply to you is not the done thing here on HUKD.

the arosa i know have will do 70+mpg
all a remap does is take advantage of our countries fuel quality and adjust the way the engine runs to make it more efficient on the fuel we use and a few other things
how about this for an assumption for those that made the chav comments; I bet you are around 40 years old, single, still living at your parents, and spend most of your time on the internet in your bedroom armed with a tub of vas and a pack of kleenex!
Rant over, really you guys make me hope that you are not clever enough to concieve!
I used to own a 1.8T paired with quattro and got really good gains in Tourque and BHP from a custom code map. The map didnt just make the car quicker but also made it a lot smoother to drive. Since then i have moved to an M3. I have looked into remapping this too. As it is a naturally aspirated engine, the power gains are not much, but some of the better BMW maps out there remove most of the flat spots in accelration all the way up to 8000 revs.
Revo have a good reputation within the mapping industry and come highly recommended. I would not trust some of these smaller companies that offer you a map for £50 as they will more than likely blow your turbo up!
Well there you have it, even I get it wrong some times
Seriously though, tuning diesels makes so much sense for the MPG gains, doesn't it?
You saucy chap. I drive at 56 on the motorway to work because money is tight. I`d like to bomb home at 70mph. No flat cap though.

Theres reasons why insurance industry charge more, or wont insure, and its not because they dont want business. They know the stats.
You sound so much like my dad
They are pricey but good at what they do. Discounts are rare. Hot.
Also, some of the comments in this thread demonstrate what a set of ill informed individuals frequent this site. I doubt I've ever before read such a load of bobbins.

You dangerous chav you X)
A person who is ignorant and generally has no idea about anything. A person who defies explanation with regard to common sense and logic, exhubing an air of confidence that is mutually exclusive to that of their accomplishments or ability. Someone who is useless until you shove your fist up them - Just like Kermit !
Even though you are only having it done for improved fuel consumption or may be towing I bet you will still get caned on the insurance...
added an extra 6 mpg if you drove conservatively
Not chavvy at all, and if you are involved in an accident and haven't declared any mods (including a Revo map) your insurance is likely invalid.

Edit: This is a Revo offer, so will likely apply to other Revo dealers.

Cold & dangerous.

Generalising slightly!
Not "Chavvy" at all. I have a 105BHP Jetta which is completely unmodified and am thinking about getting it remapped to increase Torque and squeeze an extra >25bhp and 10MPG out of the stock engine. I travel 70miles a day so the increase in MPG will soon pay for it self.
My insurance company have quoted an extra £58 increase to my annual policy which isn't a massive amount.
Hot from me!

Technically though your BMW 318i info is wrong as the 318is was a 16v engine compared to the 8v engine in the normal 318i (same again for the early E46 2000+ 318i had the 118bhp 8v compared to the later 143bhp 16v engine).
The arrogance of some of the previous comments is unbelievable!!
(edited)
I sugest you check these things out before disregarding what people put.
Figures from revo site for the 150BHP GT TDI golf. To be precise its 150 -207 BHP.
products.revotechnik.com/pro…761
Read the website - 190BHP and 290 Torque. 200 is easily acheiveable as these are usually more than 150BHP stock from the factory.
Don't worry about him - he drives an Audi and votes everything cold.
Not chavvy or dangerous. There are a million and one reasons why someone might want to get their car chipped as you have rightly pointed out. VW is a great example when they produced the 1.9TDI PD units in 90, 100, 115, 130 and 150 BHP - Does that mean that the 150BHP is more chavvy and dangerous than the 90?? I don't think so! Same with the new 2.0 CR which comes in 105, 140 and 170BHP. I have the 170bhp and a factory fitted spoiler so i must be chavvy and dangerous X)

Thats for the petrol! (_;)
my bad, I use to own a 1.8T from new in 2001.
I forsee a remap heading my way verrrry soon!
Sort of correct BUT also very wrong.... I bet most cold votes are for the reason you correctly say shouldn't be done! Some of the best deals are under 100!
It makes your car faster, not louder or more obnoxious.
@the idiot that says this is dangerous: insurance doesn't make your car safer hahaha
Now i await the replys calling me a chav for my age (_;)
we have an Octavia 1.8t elegance, standard power output quoted as 150bhp 155lb/ft torque.
I got it remapped at 28k miles by R-Tech, took it for a dyno test and it put out 205bhp and 236lb/ft.
No other modifications.
Needless to say, it totally transformed the performance in a VERY good way.
It can do a couple more to the gallon on a run than before but generally speaking, it's not much different to before.
Although if you exploit the available performance it will be significantly more thirsty than before, but that's up to the driver.
23k miles later, there have been no issues or problems at all.
I have declared it to the insurers.
In summary as regards a remap, if available for your car, it's a big thumbs up from me (if it hasn't got a turbo probably not worth bothering with though)
This could of actualy been achieved as the astra 1.9cdti goes from 150bhp to around 210bhp with a good remap
Plus my 8v 1.9 Cdti went from 120bhp to 165bhp

£299 !!! after discount for me. I can get a DTUK CRD external remap box cheaper than that and take it with me to my next car...I wish it was £99 for my motor! I'd take my chavvy 2010 A4 avant there like a shot. In fact I'd be first in the Queue. oO
Edit 1: How can flashing an Eprom differ in price deppending on what VAG model you drive? I think thats a bit of a Con. They use the same software.
Edit 2: I am actually a bit of a self confessed Chav at heart. X)
(edited)
I too think it is a con, unless they build into their pricing some sort of claim fund against people taking them to small claims if it goes wrong for their car.
