Shark group buy

[Nicky boy]

Thanks for starting that!

[zeffania]

Just phoned Sky and my premium will go up by around £40, happy with that

Time to beat, sorry persuade the wife

Have just sat down and worked out how long it would take to save the money spent on the remap incl STS basing it on a +6mpg and the current fuel costs. I would get an extra 66 miles out of a good tank, currenty 53mpg so slightly higher than what I am averaging, but I think that was down to the last fill up from no where near empty (I blame the wife forgetting to use the voucher so I had to). Based on my ramblings it would take a year and half on my current usuage which isn't bad considering when I need it I get more power.

Now I have a good argument. Sad eh?

Very interested in one for my fl vRS TSI

Assume no issues with encryption on a 59 plate?

[shark_90]

No problem at all

[queeg]

No problem at all

Could I ask if with the CR remap, should the DPF be removed or is it safe with the DPF? (i.e. doesn't produce more smoke)

Thanks

Seriously tempted in this group buy with STS..... Also have a family member interested after a recent purchase of a passat PD140.

Insurance cover for the remap isn't an issue - already covered !

Trouble is I'm onto 117k now on my PD140, but original DMF, clutch and turbo, so worried remapping now will finish one of those three off !

I'm not really interested in out right performance, but better drive and economy do appeal.

What sort of increase would I likely see if driven sensibly, currently averaging 48mpg over 12k (calculated on phone app, not trip computer), but so 2-3k per month so any decent improvements could help me justify it to.........;-)

[RizzoTheRat]

Is there some info on what power/torque/economy gains remapping gives? I gather from other posts that it would take my Octavia CR from 170bhp to around 200bhp, with a slight improvement in fuel economy (if driven the same), but no mention of torque figures. I'd be quite interested to see some before and afterdyno plots if anyone has some.

As for reliability issues, presumably the biggest increase in strss is the clutch?

Im sure I read somewhere that its another 80-90 NM for the 2.0 CR

Now, if I could only remember where .......

It's about an extra 50NM to take it from 350 to 400 if I remember correctly.

We can do a more "conservative" map if you'd like, but all our maps are smooth and progressive rather than aggressive, so while the clutch of course will eventually go, and the extra torque will wear the clutch at a slightly faster rate, it shouldn't kill it immediately!

Customers generally report around a 10% increase in economy but it's difficult to say, as each car is driven differently.

41 people have voted yes here but we have 26 on the official started by Ben from shark.
