remapping older cars ?

[matster chief]

seen an ibiza tdi 130 ,but with 88 k on it , is it bad to remap a car of this mileage ? i wanted to get the car remapped eventually

thats nothing. The VAG TDI engine is only considered run in at 80k so at 88 its giving its best and will continue to do so till 250k plus. Ensure its regularly serviced and it will be fine. enjoy.

what does vag stand for ? the car is a black tdi 130 bhp edition , can get it for 5.3 k you think i should go for it ? as i have a chance to get a silver one same specs but 63 k but 5.7k and over 2hours further away

Volkswagen Audi Group. I'd go for the lower mileage one personally, for £500 more but with 20k less on the clock!!! Whats 2 hours drive?! I'm ended up driving from one end of the country to the other for my Cupra

It stands for Volkswagen AG, which the AG is german for company i beleive, like Mercedes is Mercedes AG.

the difference in mileage is nothing, make sure both have had the cambelt done.

Volkswagen Audi Group

a common mis-conception

the cheaper one but with higher mileage is black , which i wanted , other is silver

your answering your own question really. you either get that black one or you wait and find another one in black if your that worried about the mileage.
id go with the black one purely on colour, as i dont like silver cars, but thats just me loads of people love them...

whats the mileage expectancey on a 1.2 then?lol

I'd go for the silver one as after three black cars in a row all I can say is ''NEVER AGAIN!''
Anyway that's just me! Overall condition is all important, colour is just that.

When remapping a higher mileage car just don't go silly mad on power, and no matter what the mileage is, it won't last long if you drive it flat out everywhere!
