Got a Vrs 2 weeks back and so far, so good. 150 000 miles, all stock, very good condition overall. Needs a new thermostat and I'm getting the cambelt done next week. Should I get the cambelt garage to do the thermostat for me? It appears they'll be down that way and have to change the coolant anyways... ..and although I can handle it, it may be best to let the professionals do it.
My main point is whether or not to get a remap done - one garage dissauded me somewhat,saying 'it isn't worth it, the Vrs is tuned as good as can be', ,etc,etc. Strange I always thought garages love taking your cash. I understand that an uprated engine is gonna put more pressure on (possibly worn) other components, but I'm not going for insane performance.. ..just a smoother overall ride with the power a secondary concern. Although its' fast by my standards, I'm sure it should be more responsive and 'even' in its' power output
Should I forget the idea? Cos it seems sensible to me - £300 for a remap and engine clean/service sounds a deal
