I should pick up my TSI VRS in about 4 weeks, approx at the same time Revo will launch their map for this engine in the Octavia also.

To just get it over with I'm thinking I should just visit the Revo dealer and get it mapped basically right away.

Obviously I will still follow the recommended running in procedure for the 1st 7/800 miles.

Would there be any issues (apart from temptation to floor it) in getting the map installed so early or should I just wait till the running in period is over.

I dont see a problem, except perhaps with any warranty issues which may occur early on with the car as a remap will void the engine warranty and anything skoda deem associated with the map.

I would give it a couple of K miles just to make sure there are no build issues etc then after that go for it.

Warranty issues are something you basically take a risk on. As Manny has said the engine warranty will be null and void if SUK deem it to be a problem attributed to the Remap.

However REVO & Bluefin (dont know about apr) both have a warranty that is for the Remap. Wether or not you can get them to pay out is a different matter. So it's a risk you take.

My Car was remapped with 5K on the clock and apart from the clutch going i havent had any major problems (touch wood!!)

I have had warranty work done on three occasions

1. To replace delaminating windscreen

2. To fix clicking Aircon fan motor

3. To fix Aircon compressor after they buggered it up doing fan motor

On each occasion the car was quite obviously modified. I had to replace the Clutch myself though and got a Sachs one just to cope with the Torque.

I havet got around to maping the current Octy yet but my last car (Audi A8) was re-mapped within 250 miles. I knew the engine was capable of more so I just had to have it done stright away, no issues at all and it ran for 30k+miles with no problems until it was sold.

As per my other thread, remap now available

I would wait a fair while myself, on a new car. To be sure any early issues have been ironed out as Carl says, but also to let the engine loosen up. If it were me I'd be waiting until 8-10k miles had passed.

Think I may just wait a few months then, I cover about 3-400 miles per month so maybe wait through the winter until March which will be about 1200 miles.

That should pick up any initial issues with the car and also perhaps let some other people give opinions of the Revo map on a FL VRS.

My 56 plate Octavia II 1.9TDi DSG is coming up to three years old. Would I benefit from having a re-map? The car spends a lot of its time towing a small caravan.

I would give it a couple of K miles just to make sure there are no build issues etc then after that go for it.

What he said....

Your insurance company may have an intrest

Been there additional £90 for the map based on a 25% increase in power

I had my fabia remapped after 14k miles (about 6/7 months old). Now it has 91k miles on it and never had a warrenty claim refused but its always good to be friendly with your dealer.

I'd give it a few miles before you map it. Any problems that are likely to occur, will do so nearer the time of purchase. If after a month or so things are all ok, then go for it

Plus, you get to experience what the car is like as standard so when you do get it mapped, you will notice the gains more.
