Same applies for remap insurance wise, my premium is £275 stock £350 chipped/remapped
It puts the insurance up about 150% and you are asking more from the drivetrain. If you don't boot it all the time it should hurt too much

Of course there is no way for the insurance company to know if it is chipped or not. Not condoning this, but most people who remap their cars never inform their insurance because they can't tell one way or the other.

its very easy to tell if an ecu has been mapped profanity chip has been added.

Couldn't disagree more.its very easy to tell if an ecu has been mapped profanity chip has been added. The question is down to accident claim
Costs, if someone died or there was a lot of vehicle damage they will investigate, if your car is worth£3k and you had an accident on your own they probably won't
I was more concern about damage it could cause im hoping not to get into accident (last 15 years free of accidents so...) not sure about his e220 was remaped or chipped ( cpu was taken off the car he was doing something with it in his van ) if that remapping thing causing no damage to car i guess it worth doing it (mine is e280 and he said it wont need to be taken off the car) more power more economy (had e320 before on my opinion it was much better engine with more power and economy)

Benzowner said:Not so sure about this, what are the tolerances on a standard ecu, They all come out of a box and are fitted to cars, why do some cars our perform others of the same model? I don't really know how the ecu works so could be asking a load of
It's really simple actually, all Ecu's have the same "image" the reason some cars perform better than others is because this standard "image" suits some cars more than others.
To check if a car has been remapped is just a case of comparing the current ecu image to the standard image.
Spotting a chip addition is easier you just follow the fuel rail pressure wire.
