If people were to declare a remap to their insurance how much extra does it push up your insurance?


....I gotta take you up on this: There should be no use of the word "IF" regarding whether to declare to your insurer. Not declaring could potentially make your whole insurance null and void which could then lead to a personal prosecution and claims for huge damages if a serious injury is involved etc etc etc. It's simply not worth risking not declaring your mods.
Hey, that is taking an increadibly moral high ground.  Do I take it you condone breaking all laws?  So you've never gone faster than 70mph on a UK motorway . . .

Whilst I fully agree with all your sentiments, I think your tone is way ott.  If individuals wanna brake the law, without it having an actual and detrimental effect on you or I - then who the heck are you (or I) to forceably instruct others what to do!  :fighting2:

buy cheap, buy twice! i lernt my lesson  :innocent:
Generally, yes.  But Nick at R-Tech has an increadibly good reputation - If I hadn't already had my two beasts done directly by Revo, I'd be more than happy to take the GTI along to Hinckley.

Mandy, you wont have any probs at all with going to R-Tech if you desire.  They can even use their own rolling road to set up the map correctly for you.

How much was it to reset the bluefin?

I haven't reset the Bluefin yet, I think last time I asked it was £190-something plus Vat.

I must say I haven't come across any negative comments about them yet.

Looking forward to Tuesday...  :party:  :pomppomp:

You wont be disapointed.  But you might need help with translating his funny Leicester accent!  :evilgrin:  (Sorry Nick, you make me chuckle every time I speak to you!  :laugh:)

Mandy can always go to JKM once she has the map on the car and gets back home. Just because she didn't get the map from JKM doesn't mean they cant get to know her car after.  :happy2:


....Good point  :happy2:

Had my car remapped today at R-Tech.

Unfortunately their rolling road was down so got no before or after figures  :sad1:

Had Revo Stage 1 remap installed, Nick offered me the DSG remap and the SPS thingy at a good price so got those aswell  :pomppomp:

Had no fault codes at all on the car so all was good. I brought my revision D DV with me incase it needed changing but Nick said the one on there is fine (G version?) so he told me to leave it for now.

The map has made such a difference, the car feels alive!  :driver:

Very happy with the outcome!  :smiley:
