Remapping advice needed

[lee25]

hello all,
Im wanting to remap my 2000 leon turbo, im sure plenty of you have had it done so im after some advice, firstly can anyone recommend a company with a good reputation (as close to the yorkshire region as poss), And im after a rough idea of price, im guessing you get what you pay for but there cant be a huge difference in prices?
Cheers

Awesome GTI in manchester
APR Remaps

[lee25]

cheers for the replys, will take a look at the on ein manchester, a nice trip over the M62 should test it out

I've had mine remapped two weeks ago at GTI International , but Custome Code. Cost £262.00
Power should be around the 210bhp now, but need to get her on rolling roaded to confirm.

Down side. no matter how carefully and sedately she's driven fuel economy has nose dived (even when the Mrs drives, she doesn't go over 3k revs).

 

[lee25]

forgot to ask, ive heard that remapping can affect the life of your engine, can anyone confirm this? its standard at the minute with 80k on the clock, would a remap to over 200bhp affect the engine in any way?
Cheers

shouldn't affect the life cycle, the engine is pretty much bomb proof, just perform regular maintenance and you should be fine.

Got mine done at p-torque in Wolverhampton.....can't praise Will and his maps enough....

Just to make sure you are aware, being the 2000 reg (like mine) your Leon will have the ko3 turbo. They max out at around 205hp sadly, but still should see a nice increase in performance.

 

[lee_woollett]

not necessarily, mines a 2000 and i have an AUQ engine which means i have a k03s turbo. Check out the engine code first. Should be stamped on the front of the head, near the cam belt cover.

I'm suprised by your mpg. If i drive mine below 3000rpm its no worse than standard. the only time i notice slightly worse mpg is when im accelerating away hard in 6th on motorway journeys etc.

I drove to Devon from Sheffield a couple of weeks ago and got 39mpg average and i had a few little blasts en route

look on the V5

The engine code is what you want to look at....its on the front of the engine drivers side I think you can see it by removing the plastic engine cover.

he already knows his engine code?
mines jan 01 and i think it was one of the first "cupra"s, his is older so wondering what month his was registered

 

[lee25]

sorry for the late reply! Anyway its the sport model, AUQ engine, if i remember correctly it was registered in december 2000. Hope this helps as im still learning the leon ropes

wonder what month Lee w`s is.

its a grey area what month the engine code/turbo changed.

So what are the differences then? sorry im a complete newbie with the seats! Although very very happy with mine so far!

pre 00/01 cars had APP engines fitted with k03 turbos and shouldbe badged as sports

post 00/01 cars had AUQ engines fitted with k03s turbos and variable valve timing/ drive by wire. badged as cupras.

no real difference unless you remap then the AUQ tend to gain around 15bhp more.

Ah well mines definatly the AUQ engine.
And on the subject of the ignition coils going t*ts up, mine has had 4 new ones fitted this year and a new MAF so hopefully should have minimal problems when i eventually get it remapped.
