ECU Remap - Yes or no?
Discussion
I have an Audi A5 2.0 TDi 12 plate with the 177bhp engine. I am considering having the ECU remapped.
My questions are:
- Has anyone had their Audi remapped? What was your experience and was it worth it?
- Considering the value of the car (which has just come out of warranty) are there any genuine risks to having this procedure carried out? (This is my biggest concern)
- A lot of posts suggest not informing my insurer; I'm risk averse so have queried this with my insurer who wants an extra £72 on my annual policy which seems ok for the piece of mind, but again any views on this?
- What power and economy gains have people seen?
N.B. I am not proposing to do this myself (i.e. buy a kit) I have had a quote from a business which will carry out the work and use a rolling road to get a bespoke view of my car.
