Is a remap worthwhile on a car of this age?
It depends entirely on engine condition. On a well-maintained example the 1.9 TDI responds well, but remapping does not compensate for wear.
What is the VR6?
It is the narrow-angle six-cylinder petrol engine that topped the range, much admired for its sound. It is present in our catalogue.
Do you work with these older ECUs?
Yes, the EDC15, DME, SIMOS4 and Digifant units of this era are covered in our catalogue.
