Hello guys, I'm new here but have been snooping around for the past year, reading about a lot of people's experiences with their GTIs. We bought our lovely laser blue MK5 GTI 2005 (130k miles) in October, absolutely loved the car since we saw it. I think the colour completely sold it to us. Unfortunately after we drove it for about a week the chain decided to go and was left with a nasty bill, although still in warranty. Thankfully we haven't had any other major issues since and we are loving it.
After feeling a bit more comfortable with the car we decided to get a Stage 1 remap to 250bhp and it feels like a completely different car. Even the journey feels smoother now. Noticed a big gain at higher speeds especially. Apparently it can take a week to see MPG improvement but we drove it through the city today getting about 23mph which is impressive for this car considering we were averaging about 19. It was difficult to drive sensibly though
Anyone else recently had a remap? What was your experience?
