Angel Tuning in Cropedy nr Banbury,took about an hour,and was £160,normally £190 but i had a discount voucher that i had bought before xmas.I wanted it doing because i want to tow a caravan with the car.

Sounds reasonably priced, especially if you're well pleased with the results.

Did they quote you any output numbers?

[grasmere59]

They said 35bhp and 50lbft torque,i'd like to have had a rolling road output test before and after but couldn't find anywhere local to me that could do that so i'll have to take there word for claimed output,it really does pull quicker/better from 1500-3000 rpm.

Nice one but keep an eye on the rear lower engine mount - it'll get mullered with the extra power and affect other stuff like the eggsauce flexi and whatnot.

Just bought an orignal pug bottom engine mount from fleebay for £12 so i'm ready ,don't fancy changing it though

Welly's words of wisdom !! how very true young man , mine is ready for another not sure if
it is second or third also just had 2 front wheel bearings 2 strut top bearings and 2 drop
links .
And you were warned those handbrake turns would end in tears

Bit of a pattern there, puggy.

Maybe you should let some of the Audi drivers go without the demo occasionally?

The boys in work take the piss because I crawl over the speed bumps leading upto site.
They won't be laughing when they are replacing bits of suspension


Glad your happy with the remap Brett! You didn't seem so sure when you popped down on Saturday!

[grasmere59]

Well did over 300 miles this weekend after the remap and quite impressed so far.It was mostly motorway although my journey from oxfordshire to derbyshire fri night was just one traffic jam to another so a lot of idling in traffic.It pulls a lot more lively from 1500 rpm to 3000 rpm and overtaking on b roads is a lot more relaxed and less a white knuckle ride.The one thing i have really noticed is the improved mpg,i reckon i must me getting 5-8 mpg more than before,i'm seeing figures on the mfd i haven't seen before!

I found the same with regards to the MPG figures being higher on the MFD but in actual fact, it hasn't really changed. Not sure how the MPG is calculated by the ECU but it seems that it might not take the extra fuel input provided by the remap into account. And because your foot doesn't need to be as heavy, it thinks you're using less fuel.

How's the smoking when booting it? Also, watch out for the clutch slipping as mine now is....

I didn't notice any effect on the accuracy of the mpg on mine, (or for that matter any real change in mpg), 'cept if you get carried away - it can defo burn more of the stuff!

Mine doesn't smoke to speak of, no clutch slip & now no vibration at 2000 RPM. (Amazing what a new clutch,DMF & engine mount will do)!

[grasmere59]

No noticable increase in smoke,it had a replacement clutch and solid flywheel 5k miles ago just before i bought it so hopefully i won't have any issues with that.I will do a fill to fill calculation when i can afford to fill it up,i know what you mean about throttle position though as it seems you hardly have to touch the accelerator now when cruising 60-70 mph.
