Hi all, has any1 did a stage 1 remap on a mk2 4x4 estate diesel 170BHP, any pros and cons? TIA

It will be all pro's. 

Cut out the possibility of cons.

 

Say where you are or how far you might be able to travel and maybe someone can recommend someplace to you.

 

Start with a car well serviced, that is the engine and drive train.

So an Engine with no issues.   (If there are issues do not tune it until resolved.)

 

Find a good reputable tuner, get the car on a dyno, have them do their remap and check the performance after on a dyno and the road.

If there is not the gains you are paying for have them remove the remap. 

Frmo Brighton area.

Ive had my 2011 2.0TDI 170 remapped although it isn't the 4x4.

 

I got good gains for stage 1 and it has made all the difference to the driving experience. I agree with root toot though, make sure your vehicle has good history, and is in good running condition.
