Found this info .

So basically if you have a tunning box it would be possible to fail the MOT!!

We have a Dragon Tuning box for a 130 PD 1.9 in our garage from our old Ibiza....

I have the 1.9 TDi 110 non PD so that box wouldn't be any good to me mate.
Cheers anyway dude!

yep, when i had mine on, before its first MOT i unplugged it and did a 20 min run with some hard blasts to clear it out but it still needed a ton of injector cleaner and a blast round the block to get it to just scrape through the emmisions. I took it off a few months later and have never had any probs at my MOTs now.

The first MOT tester commented that it was strange this one was so hard to get through/ right on the limit, i didnt tell him i had a box on before.

Well i want be having one of does then!
Looks like i need to save up a bit to for me remap.
Is there any good companies in the south west that do good remaps?

mike - yeah had it when i moved up from devon, but promptly sold on before their value plumeted luckily. mainly cause of the MOT problems and also it made the car use more fuel cause i had it on max all the time Still, allowed me to keep up with a new A3 2.0 TDI (140bhp) though, which was a laugh at the time!

Heyd - Simon from upsolute can travel to you, so its even more convenient, and upsolute is the best for non PDs

you want out of your car and remap it to your driving style.

also mate pete gives you a new chip and remaps that!

and you get your old one back so when you sell your car u just change it back!

also it only cost me £295 give him a bell

Cheers mate for letting me know.
I have started to budget for a remap now.
I am glad to here that he will give me a new ecu which means that i can keep my old one!
The only problem is, that he is in York which is about a 5-6 hours drive from my place in Somerset, mind you the price does sound good.
If i can't find anything else around the same price here then a trip up there might be an option.

thats true it would be around a 5hour drive, but york is a very nice place
and maybe you could make a weekend out of it!

there are some wkd bars around there and some very nice women

good luck anyway mate!
