Well as many of u know Im after a PD100 with about 60k on the clock, getting one with the intention of getting a revo remap (only local remap place). Now does this cause any problems for the pd100 ie will the clutch slip, will it take the map well at 60k etc.
 
i know it's not the same engine but i've noticed no problems with mine nigh on 2 weeks after the revo remap, it's got 55k on the clock and the only problem i've found is controlling my right foot ;)
 
cool, just wondering on the clutch really. Wonder if the PD100 uses the same clutch as the PD130 if it does then I shouldnt have a problem
 
I havent had any problems with mine at all Guinness.

It really makes such a difference to the car aswell.
 
My 100PD Fabia is now running 140bhp with a custom remap
This was done with economy in mind and have got 4mpg more
I have the Pipercross panel filter and the PD160 intake
My car has 100k on the clock and was mapped with 90k on
My clutch is fine , not had a beat missed with it

Im not sure of official figures for mine, but ive been told there shouldnt be a problem for up to about 150BHP.

But then again, they may have just wanted a sale when i got mine.
 
Website for REVO says 150bhp and 230lb/ft, i'm guessing the cars limits will be around that, anymore and they wouldn't offer remaps?
 
yer, thats who I would be using as they are local, but have heard they can give over the top maps that cause problems with the clutch etc
 
Id didnt get anywhere near 150bhp when I had stage2 CC on my ibiza. That was full Milltek, Forge IC, green filter and PD160 air intake. My map was tweaked as tweaked could be by James at CC.

Being realistic you'll see 135-140bhp and around 220lb/ft

Been there, spent a sh!t load of money and never got the figures....went very well though.

You will def notice the difference but dont expect 150bhp from a remap!:)
 
Are you sure you want to remap the Derv as soon as you get it Guinness? I mean, I came from a 106 1.4 then to a 90bhp 307 derv and I'm still finding the 100bhp more than enough after 10 months of ownership (and I'm only 19 ;)).

I have to say that I think I'll be getting a remap during the summer months as I know that I will start to get bored of the power, but perhaps going from a 1.2 to a remapped PD100 is not the wisest idea?

Don't mean to be arsey or anything, just saying how I see it!
