A Bit more Ummph !!

Are there any cheap ways of getting a bit more power from The D3 2.7 diesel.
Has anyone had the ECU chipped - is it worth it - do you get any problems

Any info would be appreciated

It makes a significant difference with a remap.
More driveable overall, a much better place to be. I've not had an unhappy customer yet. Thumbs Up

Disco Mikey, sounds like a plan.
Do you have contact details for him.
Also, is it worth telling insurance company about the remap

Thanks

telling insurance is a must. Some charge a bit extra, some dont, but if you dont inform them your insurence could/will be invalid - do you want to take the risk

A remap is well worth it. I also have a BAS remap and it transformed the car totally, had it on the car for 40k miles now (car is at 180k) and it still going great Very Happy

It's well worth it Thumbs Up

As a side note yes we are supposed to tell insurers but I've remapped a few cars over the years and (when I still lived in the U.K.) I never told them.
