Remap worth it?
Hey guys contemplating a remap on the caddy currently have 2017 black edition, do people think it is worth it or will it cause unnecessary strain on other engine parts? Also is there a preferred specialist have seen people like Wolfsburg.

100% worth it.
Mine is the 2.0 TDi 101ps engine. And it was rather guttless. Since the remap taking it to 180ish. It’s like a new van and much happier driving it.

Re: Remap worth it?
Mine hardly changed.
Obviously if you drive flat out everywhere you will use more. But general use it's the same. I usually sit around 45mpg. And I'm a little right foot heavy too.

Re: Remap worth it?
Not really sure how you'd get better MPG and more performance. You could go for a remap for more MPG but you won't get the 180bhp. Might get a small increase though.

Remap makes loads of difference..
Where to go depends where you are located if you are willing to travel etc?
I recommend dubunit 100%

Re: Remap worth it?
Definitely a high quote, I'd reckon you would get two vans remapped up this way and still have change out of £415+VAT.

Storm development have quoted me £400 inc vat to map my 1.6tdi. Thought this seemed quite high too

Re: Remap worth it?
I paid around £400 ish for mine but they did the EGR and DPF delete at the same time so bit more on the labour side really

What does the egg and dpf delete do?
I had the dpf light come up after a week of having the van. Doing short journeys isn't great apparently so sore online to sit in between 2/3 thousand Reves helps burn the soot on the dpf, since doing this it has been okay but time will tell I guess.

Re: Remap worth it?
You should be paying less than £200 for a remap IMO
