Hi Tim
Things seem to be getting really tight at the minute with insurance quotes and folk with remaps look to be hit hard.
I dont have a remap on my 105bhp TDI but im looking in to it, im 27 with 5 years NCB and whilst trying to get a quote for if I did get a remap, I have been quoted in excess of £1200.
My current insurer is happy to insure me for a remap for an additional £55 on my current premium(4 months remaining), and when working out online how it will affect next years premium it look to be around £120 extra for the remap, this all looks good to me.
however the remap with this insurer, and many others is capped to 25% power increase maximum, which will be no good considering my PD105 engine will be remapped to closer to 140bhp (33% increase) after the remap.
Unfortunately, I can only see an increase in undeclared mods at the moment (not myself of course)
I dread to think how the guys with seriously modded cars are going to get on in the near future
