Is there any way of telling if a diesel has been remapped previously?

do you mean remapped and then set back to standard or is remaped now?

if its a cdt, if it beats a mobility scooter its been remapped

I'd suggest it needs T4 it interrogate the ECU, not sure if Toaf can tell you?

There's no easy way to tell if a car has been remapped unless you have the equipment and know what you're looking for

Comparing cars isn't always helpful either, some cars are just quicker and more powerful than others, even on identical cars with the same tune, the same mileage and service condition.

I recently looked at a car, on test driving it, you'd have thought it had been remapped. On examination it was a standard 135 tune, certainly one of the quickest and most responsive I've driven.

Tried the 160 on it and it was even better
