just bought this is it worth a remap

as the title just bought this for the wife only done 60k and got 2yrs warrantyout of them too

in mid range is quite good as it is being the 140 considering getting it mapped like i did my 330d just wondering what these are like done

i had her 130 passat mapped and i think this a4 seems quicker than her passat was after the remap .

IMO they're the best - google them, but I think they're at one of race circuits down South.

Not really. My old man's Passat TDi 130 auto, which he has owned from new, is a 53 plate with 267k on it. Everything is original bar the alternator and rear shocks. Drives as good as the day he picked it up and the body work is mint apart from about 5 tiny stone chips on the bonnet
