I will soon be taking delivery of a nice shiney new Fabia VRS and am already looking down the remap route (Jabba or AMD oneclick)

Question is when is the best time to do this - when she is fresh out of the box with a tight new engine

...OR....

Is it better to put a few thousand on the clock to bed the car in before going down the engine upgrade route.

Many of you guys have already pondered this question I am sure - what were your answers and results ??????????

Cheers guys

3 years or 60k miles, which arrives sooner.

You did want to keep your warranty, right?

Mike at Jabba told me it would be better to wait for 5k miles to make sure all of the components properly bedded in. I have it mapped it with 5,009 miles on the clock

I waited until 10,000 miles.

The PD engines don't really start to loosen up until this time, and I didn't want to remap an over tight engine.

For a custom map then it is better to wait for the engine to be nicely run in, that way the mapper can extract the maximum power however, as I replied in your AMD post, If AMD was your route then 2k should be more than enough.
