I posted this in the welcome section but was advised to try in here....see..i said i was an IT buffoon!! Tony

43, bald, married, 3 kids, large mortgage--life just doesn't get any better....

the kids break everything; what they don't destroy, the dog will - i just love my middle aged life - but just bought an 57 fabia 2 1.9tdi...test drove it against an 06 vrs, but the wife didn't like the colour, hence the 105 (bless her) - unfortunately i'm not a computer whizz and so am embarassingly rubbish at searching websites, but can anyone advise me on whether a 're-map' (?) or a chip will give my little car a bit more 'get up and go'...i found the vrs very smile inducing and wouldnt mind trying to replicate some of that power upgrade into my very sensible looking 105. would like to make a bit / lot more zippy. any advice warmly received - live in hertfordshire so any guidance on local 'techy' people also appreciated.

regards

There's a thread here on remapping a 1.9TDI that should help you.

But as a vRS (Octavia) owner I can't believe you let the wife talk you out of one because she didn't like the colour!
