My car is now well and truly out of warranty and no doubt things have moved on in the years since i considered doing this, so where are we now with remap's ? No DPF removal just a plain and simple remap to increase torque's/bhp and if poss make fuel economybetter, and do we still have to take the ECU off and '' crack'' it open.

Depends what you want?

I believe they can map through the OBD2 port or you can buy a 'tuning' box.

I believe Shark do a good map for the 1.6CR.

My 1.6tdi is currently at Shark for the stage 2 mapping, turbo upgrade etc but the stage 1 they developed was a fantastic map and transformed the 1.6tdi.

I can't recomend it highly enough, not just the numbers but the way it changes the drivability of the car, give them a call

If you want to see my review its on my build thread link below.

My map was done by a man who worked with Ben from shark on projects and I can safely say from 75 to 127 is a very good improvement and sharks 130 would be even better only make sure it's regens or force regen from vcds before hand

149bhp and 306Nm on a 1.6tdi stage1 from Shark Performance is even better

That's mental. Does this affect the life of the DPF?

Don't forget your other goodies which got you up there, Darrell, otherwise everyone will be wanting 148 just from the remap

That was before everything else though, all the other mods came after the stage1 map in prep for the stage2 the Yeti does have a bigger intercooler as standard which made a difference on the stage1 letting us see the 149bhp. I think the Fabia with the 1.6tdi gets to 135bhp on a Shark state1 if I'm remembering right, but an intercooler + map would get you up near 150bhp which is very nice result

I haven't noticed any change in terms of regens, so it doesn't seem to effect the DPF at all, the Shark map is a very clean burning one as shown on cars without DPF's producing very little, if any, smoke.

'Diesel Particulate Filters' are there to reduce Diesel Particulates not just reduce soot / smoke but they might well do that.

Yep way better no shark dealer in Ireland yet

I've a yeti intercooler to go in and then maybe a remap again is the fabia and the yeti turbo the same

Yep, same turbo which means the same turbo upgrade is also an option

The ECU still currently has to be opened to 'unlock', but then can be written via OBD

I think revo and superchips have cracked the ecu's they can now be remaped via OBD2 port

Wow, thanks for the info, 135 is a far bigger increase than i had even thought possible.... so is there anything else i need to consider with doing this in terms of the DPF and roughly how much would it cost. thanks.

135bhp & 295Nm for £399, details here:

Have you tried looking at any websites yet?

Might be a start

those are some serious gain's!! what would be had with a FMIC, better exhaust , bigger turbo i wonder could be pushing the VRS

Thanks for the link i will have a look now.

Don't suppose you'd know but would the yeti intercooler be a simple bolt on job to a 1.6tdi fab??

Unfortunately not, you'd need one from a Polo/Ibiza platform, but an upgrade would make all the difference.

What a bummer :(

One would assume a 2.0TDI CR140 intercooler from an Ibiza would do the same job?
