#1: Remapping the beast that is the 1.4 Hdi! Author: MRyan89, Location: Home: Fleet, Hampshire, Uni: Portsmouth!Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 6:23 am ---- So ive just had an email back from angel tuning about a remap for ze diesel engine, im pretty happy with the pricing and im seriously considering it. They said that ill get roughly a 30 bhp increase and similar gains in torque, does this sound about right?
Anyone on here thats had it done on the same engine care to share an opinion and is it worth the 300 bob ill be throwing at it? Engines just hit 65000 miles and had a full service so should be able to cope with the extra output?
Cheers m'dears

To be honest I'd never remap anything less than a 2.0l I don't see the point. The money could go towards a better car that even without the remap would be quicker.
Just my opinion, if you want to then go for it.

Author: MRyan89, Location: Home: Fleet, Hampshire, Uni: Portsmouth!Posted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 6:31 am ---- Im pretty tempted, its at roughly 70 bhp at the moment which is a lil on the low side to be honest! I cant afford a new car for a long while as im at uni and dont have the cash for a new one, but I do have a lil money to throw at it for the moment. Any ideas as to how long they would need the car for?

Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 6:36 am ---- Fair enough, I'd reckon you would be satisfied with the power after being use to 70bhp for a while just I tend to think about money in the long run, what you can get back from it etc and a remap definately isn't one of them.
Won't take more than a few hours so definately on the same day.

You do the maths...
Also there is a reduction in turbo lag and feels like the turbo range is increased!
Best £190 I've ever spent on my 1.4HDi tbh!!

What about my new car?
The 1.9TDi Fabia VRS, takes it from 130bhp to ~180+

Author: ali20six, Location: walesPosted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 9:10 am ---- if your at uni and on a budget leave it be,enjoy the frugal economy and save your cash for a better set of wheels in the future. your clutch for one could struggle after remap and there not to cheap to replace.ive done a few for people and a couple went soon after being remapped.

From just a remap?

Its £270 for the remap, or £300 for a remap and an 'ITG Competition Air Filter', worth it for the extra 30 quid?
