Celtic Tuning remap on my Ibiza PD100.

[J500ANT]

Well, all I can say is WOW. Im used to having cars remapped (i've had each of my smarts done) but this was something else. Tony from Celtic Tuning came along to the Premier Travel Inn I was staying at. He took the settings off my car and went back home to tweak the program in the warm while I went and had dinner. He came along after and put the map on, and we went for a spin. It was crap weather in Bodmin last night and I was tired but I could see the potential.

Well today its a flying machine! It'll pull in 5th gear whereas it didnt used to before, and its still as docile around town. The website says its a 150bhp remap so will have to try and get it on a rolling road and see how accurate that is.

I'm amazed too that todays MPG was 50.2! I've driven it about the same if not a bit harder and would have normally been around 48mpg.

So highly recommended by me

well done! doubt it be as high as 150bhp sustained power, more like 130-35when driving. but still a nice gain for just a remap!

yes ive heard of a couple of other celtic remaps which the users were happy with.

Hope the effect doesnt wear off too quick for you

Figures are just that, its the driving that matters and it feels much better than before. Not bad for £300!

Hope the effect doesnt wear off too quick for you

or do you mean i'll be wanting more power again before too long?

 

[sssstew]

yes.. its always nice to feel the difference but like anything you end up getting used to it and want more later on....

Yup, I'm in the want more. Had a 100bhp TDI, remapped to 150+ for about 18 months, swapped for pd130 lump with mods and a remap to 220bhp, and now after about 12 months with that, I'm on the lookout for the gear to push for 270 odd. I'll probably end up getting complacent with that in a couple of years time....

One thing I will say about Celtic remaps, is get a turbo boost gauge to monitor the boost. On the PD130s there have been a few turbos popping, when remapped by them - however there's no proof of a direct link, just a selection of co-incidences. A gauge will let you monitor the boost spikes and the set levels on full throttle. (same can be applied to any turbo car post remap really - I got one for mine)

Celtic tuning?

Your lucky, I emailed them nearly a week ago & as yet have had no reply - so I'm off to Revo.

Same here I mailed them a time ago, never got a reply. Allready got a other remap. Didn't trust those Celtic remaps.

I went along to www.powerstation.org.uk thanks to Si & Martyn and the rolling road says:

154.4bhp corrected power @ 4225rpm/159.6kmh
288.3Nm Torque @ 2315rpm.

I am SO chuffed with those figures!

(Now how do I put the bloody towing eye cover back on?)
