Hiya guys.
Hope you are all well.
As some of you know I have a 2005 1.4hdi which was remapped about 3 years ago by the guys at red dot racing.
Now has come the time to sell the car, so I want to put it back to standard (68bhp rather than the 110 it is now)
However despite red dot stating on there website that removal is free, they want me to travel to them (400 mile round trip which i was prepared for) and hand over 60 quid (which I was not prepared for)
Does anybody know if local Peugeot Dealers can put a standard map back on, or know of a way of getting a standard map put back cheaper than the red-dot option??
Cheers in Advance

I think a software update would clear the remap (I'm not 100% on this mind you) however Peugeot will charge £80+

No doubt a pug dealer will want daft money to do something like that (if they can do it).
If Red Dot say its free why are you having to pay £60?
I would be questioning that with them and asking why they are falsly sdvertising it.

there's probably a loop hole somewhere, like you have to supply the original map file or something.

i don't mind paying a lowish amount, I have just pinged some emails off to peugeot.
I have questioned Red Dot as the wording on their website states (copy & pasted complete with spelling error) - www.reddotracing.co.uk/
"Can the remapping be reversed?
The main plus point of this modern methodology means that we can reverse the information back to standard for you at any time. Because of this, if you came back to us within 14 days and asked us to reverse the process we will do so free of charge AND refund you the full amount. After 14 days, there is NO CAHRGE to return your car to standard, but no refund unless there is any issue of course. If you have come a long way to us, we understand its not always easy to return within 14 days, so talk to us and we will come up with a compromise for you."

So where has the £60 charge come from?
It does look like they will only remove the map for free if you contact them soon after its done, BUT thats not exactly what it says.

Yeah they probably dont expect to get people come back after 3 years lol. But it doesnt say on there, so I would keep questioning it.

Why not just leave it on and save yourself the hassle? I can't see a prospective buyer screaming and running away in terror when you tell them that this car pulls better and returns a better mpg!

I've found that advertising a car remapped scares people away as they think it's been abused.
I think my car has had far less abuse as its been remapped and I don't need to push the engine hard to get enough speed for overtake.
The main issue with having a remap on the car is the Insurance, if you tell your insurance that your car has had a 42bhp (61%) increase they don't like you very much!!
I don't want to put off any buyers, or garages, a citroen garage offered me a "good price" of £1250 for my motor in part ex...... I was actually insulted!!

Probably going to get agro for this, oh well..
Just leave it on? If you really think it's going to put buyers off (it wouldn't put me off) just don't mention it. Remaps are undectable unless someone knows what the engine should be doing and puts it on a dyno? Like said I don't think anyones going to complain who's buying it. Yes I know it should be declared to insurance but if you did crash why would they even suspect it was remapped? let alone be able to prove it.
Sounds like you are worrying or making something a hassle that doesn't have to be, I just don't see why this is an issue.
