Pastit130 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Just been to APS in Brackley and had my Passat 130 remapped to thick end of 180. Bloody marvellous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burberry Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Do APS do their own chipping or is it someone elses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastit130 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Not exactly sure, here's the website... http://www.autops.co.uk/index.php They'll be more than happy to explain I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moggle Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Ubertractor do you get a rolling road readout of the performance gains? Whatis the level of the torque increase and is linear or one big peak? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastit130 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Torque is now up to about 290lb/ft or roughly 390Nm. VW quote 226lb/ft for this car but Ed reckons standard is nearer 240-250 to start with. Seems likely as actual bhp is usually more than the 128bhp quoted as standard. No rolling road printout but to drive there is much more oopmh through the range. It'll happily flash the traction control light coming out of roundabouts in 2nd with 300 mile old tyres. Motorway is so lazy and relaxed and the pickup using the buttons on the cruise control is rather good too. Just checked the figures and it's now similar to a standard 330d. That'll be another mate of mine off to Mothercare for a new dummy then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Tone_ Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hi Guys Out of interest what hike in insurance did you get for the remap? Ta Tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastit130 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Only £120 per year (on a Comp policy) which doesn't seem to be too painful considering the extra fun to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Ubertractor, what sort of MPG are you getting with your remap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastit130 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 If I'm being sensible and drive it like I did before then I get one or two mpg more. I do, from time to time, make progress and enjoy myself. But even then it's not really more than one or two less than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundwave Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I dunno, modern turbo diesels eh! Pretty damn impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Hi Mate Is that an extra £120 a year or the total insurance price - I would (putting sensible hat on) say its an extra which I think is pretty high personally but wanted to check. ta Tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastit130 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 It's additional but then I only pay a total now of £400 comp on a car with the thick end of 40% more power than before. As I've also just given up riding bikes the premium saved on that hobby more than covers the increase on the Fastit. It's all relative I suppose. For the extra fun I'm having it's a heck of a lot cheaper than forking out thousands on a new car with the same power already in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
