Remapping a CDTI

rovermadhead · 20th May 2016, 19:25

I have been toying for a while now with a remap, is the upgrade worth the trouble, what would be a fair cost for the service

Jules re-mapped my CDTI and it has transformed the response of the car with no apparent detriment to the economy. It is much 'crisper' on the delivery and I think it smokes less on kick down. It also picks-up better from lower speeds. I'm very pleased and would advise you to contact Jules in Colwyn Bay.

bit of a trek but may take a weekend away in the summer, what price was it do you mind me asking, one of the things i am wary of is letting some numpty loose on the car who doesnt know what they are doing, i take it you mean this chap

I'll take you for a blast in our car when it comes out of the garage and I'll let you see the difference, ours was done last year and It has made it drive like a different car.

I found the remap particularly good on the auto, especially when towing and quite nice overtaking solo as well actually. MPG a bit worse off if anything, but well worth the money.

The remap really transforms the car and is well worth doing.

If you travel to have it done, you not only get your car sorted but you have a nice mini-break away

Two birds with one stone

I travelled from Dorset to Jules to get some work done including a 160 remap on my CDT. Worth every mile and every penny. The difference in performance astonished me.
I cannot recommend him too highly

Jules did mine as well, much better response through all the gears!
Wish i had this done years ago!
