Can anyone recommend a place in Essex/kent to get a astra van remapped? or a company that can supply one?

deffo get it done,I had a mk4 1.7cdti 80,got it remapped for £150 and the difference was night & day.

 

what about the 08 1.3 cdti version, is this mappable and what way does the economy go afterwards

 

1.3 cdti is what I have now,and will be getting it mapped,econmy is better but you also have more power and torque and obviously if you rag it day in day out then maybe a little worse.

My 1.7cdti used to get 80 miles to a tenner before and after the map but the torque after a remap is a massive gain, the 1.7 is a better engine,although I have done 17000 miles in my 1.3 without fault,I did 30000miles in my 1.7 and that only needed the egr cleaning but blew 2 water pipes in my time but never damaged the HG

I Would not have the 1.3 in a 5 speed

 

mine is the 6 speed, theres 80,000kms or 50,000 miles on it bought it for 4500 euro plus vat so about 3700 sterling, its in very good nick, so deffo worth doing the map even on the 1.3?

 

Can an 04 Astra 2 litre dti be done?

 

the 1.3 is worth it,get around 25bhp but unlike the 1.7 all the power is above 2k rpm,I actually perfer the 1.3 on the motorway.

 

just a note though I have never been in a remaped 1.3 cdti,but the guy that remaped my 1.7 said the 1.7 responds better to the map but the 1.3 get's a good chunk aswell

 

where did you get the remap done? and what was the exact figures you got? thanks

 

Just be aware if its the 1.7 cdti with the ecu bolted to the rocker cover (denso one) I think there's only a place in Leeds that can remap it. I've got that engine in my corsa sri that I've converted into a van and the previous owner was telling me about it, they struggle to get into it to rewrite it so a lot of people use tuning boxes. I googled it and seems he was right but there might be someone down south who can do it.
I went from my mapped fabia vRS to this and thought it was shit but I've driven a standard combo and astra with the same engine and it has made a hell of a difference. I should think it's around 125ish bhp now but the torque when you're on the motorway is spot on. Nowhere near my fabia but for a van it's plenty

 

no its the bosch 1 mate


where is near to suffolk and will cost no more than £290 to remap? thanks

 

You'll be able to map that no probs then. I'd Google it and see where there is by you. There will be the likes of quantum tuning that can stick a tooty fruity generic map on but I'm not a fan of these, a few of my mates had them on their mk5 astra vans and the maps were horrendous!! Smoked like a train, boost spikes and flat spots. If you're not too fussed go to someone like that or if you want a decent drive research custom maps for them. It took me about a year to get a map for my fabia and in the end I ended up driving to Liverpool for a forum member to map it, he had spent about 3 years perfecting the map and its regarded as one of the best maps for it. Think I only paid £150 for it too no smoke, smooth power and also got launch control, left foot braking and egr delete in with the price too. I'd personally get on a vauxhall site and see what they suggest but I'd sooner travel to get a decent map than get one local that's shit. Also look at dtuk tuning boxes and see what you think to them

 

only trouble is its the mk4 shape like the astra g i believe? everywhere i ring say they cant do it or they are to expensive like amd essex. i dont know anymore that have gd feedback. thanks
