Hi,
My names Kev from Hartlepool (N.East of UK) I'm 31 and have recently come across this forum through Google while hunting for some advice/info on Re Mapping my car.
Basically I have a 14 reg Vauxhall Astra GTC 2.0CDTi with Eco Flex and 750 miles on the clock. I love the car, it's spacious, got plenty of gadgets, looks lovely and has a decent engine with just a few flaws. It's a Turbo so I have flat spots in 2nd and 3rd gear and is a little sloppy in accelerating (I know it's a diesel but I have had quicker accelerating diesels before) it does 500 miles approx on a full tank town running and would love to spice up the power somewhat.
I've been looking into getting it re mapped and have had a few quotes of price and what to expect in improvements (BHP etc.) I've been quoted between £200-£320 and have been told to expect a slight improvement in MPG and approx. 28-40 BHP extra. My Astra is 165BHP as it is so taking it to around a max of 205BHP sounds ideal to me.
I am wondering if anybody has had this model of car re mapped already and if they found it worthwhile/not worthwhile, if there was any problems afterwards and if they could recommend a company to use.
Sorry for the long intro post, just thought I could chance my arm and I look forward to seeing if I can get any replies! I posted this in the welcome forum but have found this Vauxhall Section so thought I'd pop it in here too.
Best Regards,
Kev.
