Thanks for the correction.

Any suggestions where I could get it done somewhere between Reading and Slough?

I had psyched myself up for a remap of my 2011 Passat CC, and was excited at the prospect of going from 140 to 170bhp. B-) A new insurance policy was lined up, and I was booked in for a remap with Angel Tuning in Banbury. When I spoke to Tom (nice, knowledgeable chap!) :ymhug: he warned me that the ...

Now, all the remaps I've seen a...

But I have just bought a 1-year old Passat CC Blue Motion, which is my first diesel car. I'm looking for...

Hi All, just bought a 1 year old Passat CC Blue Motion, and although I've owned 6 petrol Passats over the last 30 years, it's my first diesel. So I diligently read the owner's handbook, In the handbook it talks about glow plugs, spare keys etc. But it's gobbledy-gook and it must have been written by...
