I have discuss remapping my car with several tuners one did not get back to me mentioning no names (Acid)all say they can take my 350 CDI from 231BHP to over 300BHP and the prices vary from £299 to £460 I am definitely going to have it remapped but just don't seem to get round to it.
I had a reply from a tuning company saying my engine (231bhp) has the same 265bhp block ,but that's not true so when they did say they could get my car to nr the 300bhp I declind I would say 265-280 bhp max !!!! After all the gearbox is rated at 750Nm and getting to the higher bhp would give you very close or over the limit that mercedes recommend for the std 7g gearbox
Im not so sure about that, Depends if its tuned for more BHP in sacrifice of Torque, or the other way round.
Just because you have a large increase in bhp it doesnt always follow you have alot more torque.
Your car has almost done 100k. Are you sure it will handle a remap? How are the inlet port motor? And the lower crankshaft bearing? Both very very weak areas on V 6 diesel
Personally i think with regular oil and filter changes your's will be fine keith, i always change my oil and filter at 3k regardless.
Just had a price from Celtic Tuning and this is what they said considering Dover is the opposite end of the map from Cornwall!
"The cost of the remap is £295 all inclusive for which we travel to your location whether it is home or work place. This comes with a 14 day money back guarantee which gives you plenty of time to ensure it is exactly what you are after."
Also what i can expect...224bhp std modified to 290bhp + 66
376lb/ft std. to 463lb/ft + 87
I would always go for a remap over a tuning box, tuning boxes can never truly control all aspects that a remap can.
