| Hiya ALL Thought ad just say hiya to all. Am not new to skoda, i had an Octavia 1.9 TDi saloon, but due to the above average mileage i sold it to the MRS and bought a newer Octavia Estate 1.9TDi for myself. I can hear the comments now, SOLD it to the wife! why not give her the car. Well i have gave her everything for the last 26 years, but NOT MY CAR  |

| Re: Hiya ALL Sorry its been a while getting back, flat out working. The mrs has more money than me, thats y she paid for my old car. I gave her the seeds for three kids for nowt, wot more can a man give? I had my old girl up to 125mph today, any ideas how to get her to go any faster? I have been told to get it "chiped2 by some , and "re maped" by others. Whats the difference? whats the best? |

| Re: Hiya ALL As I said, I see nothing actually wrong with her paying you for a car. As to tuning a TDi without knackering it, there are 2 routes:- 1) Removable generic interceptor box from Dragon or Tuneit. 2) A custom remap from a reputable source. As to sources, in Annan you're falling between 2 (or 3) stools here:- a) Awesome in Manchester b) Star in Dunfermline c) Bedrock Vw in Motherwell, who actually supply Jabba maps. Chipping is a bit old hat now; basic turbo tuning is almost all interceptors or remaps. |
