took my leon for its first MOT today to my local seat dealers in menston. while i was there i noticed a advert for the REVO REMAP ontop of the new cupra R in the showroom, it told you a bit about the map and then it said ask the service manager for details :confused:. confused at first i was, surely a seat dealer wont be doin REVO REMAPS:think:.

man was i wrong these guys had the full piece of kit required for doing the remaps and this guy seemed to know his stuff, he was like a young lad trapped in a 40yr olds body.
he quoted me £399 + VAT to remap my fr tdi 170 up to 210bhp and 320ft lbs he did say every engine differs though.

im glad i asked about the remap now because he even took me out in his company car he was using 2010 seat leon FR tdi 170 it only had 400miles on the clock and it had already been remapped by this guy and boy oh boy did this car shift to say its engine will still be tight.

all in all today has got to be the best afternoon ive ever spent at the seat dealers.

Haha, good stuff. There are a few who offer it now and not just SEAT dealerships. I was offered aftermarket products by an audi dealership. Begs the question how much the manufacturers know about it.

Cool...I really fancy getting a remap done. I'll probably wait to get some more miles, however it shifts now so cant wait to see what the extra power is like!

If you went out with the service manager today it was probably my car you were in, was it a candy white one with black wheels ?

He's had it since the weekend after repairing a recurring fault to make sure it didn't come back, with my permission of course !!!!!

I've not driven a mapped tdi but I bet it will be good. My last FR had 200bhp standard but not the same level of torque. I've sent an email to the dealer to see what they can do!

The Dealer themselves will cover you on warranty

But if it has to go higher up to SEAT then they wont cover you


Thats the understanding i got from Dealers offering Mapping services



Another post above says that somebody thought revo didnt offer a FR 170 Remap anymore,They offer a new Common rail (CR170) Remap but wouldnt offer remaps for the PD170

David, he supposedly got my car sorted when I first had warning lights. had it there for 2 days and as soon as I got round the corner from the dealers... warning lights.

Got the service manager to sort it personally after as I was unhappy with the service and had no problems, he showed me exactly what the problem was etc, Ian I think his name is, nice chap!

orite mate, some one mentioned before that it was that david...hes well patronising isnt he? are all seats as bad as the one in menston or is it just a one off coz iv had so many problems with them and they always seem so un willing to help?
