Default 2.0 Diesel remap?

I'm considering getting the 160 remap when I can, but it'll take a while due to cost and insurance. Aside from the advantage of more torque and power, is there any difference in 0-60 times?

My car non remapped will get to 60 in about 10.7 seconds. Reckon the remap will reduce this, and what to (It's an automatic)

Similarly, the manual 2.0 diesel claims to have a 0-60 of 10.3 seconds - How much faster would the remap make it?

Edit : Reason i'm asking is more out of curiosity than an actual want to increase 0-60. I'm perfectly happy with the speed of the car right now

To be fairthe 160 re-Map is not all about 0-60 times its about making it a more drivable car with loads more torque.......If you want 0-60 times in low figures you are looking at the wrong car for you.

I completely agree with you, I'm not bothered about 0-60 times myself, it's more for my brother who is interested in how much faster a remap would make it.

More a curiosity kind of thing.

No doubt one of the "Guru's" who do the Re-Map will be along to give you the info you need..

Diesels are more Clydesdales than racehorses.

Have a word with Civil Steve on here! He runs SAWS Tuning over in Trafford Park and can advise on all possibilities. His remaps are all proven on the rolling road, so no guesswork involved.

Mine has been re-mapped and for me it is not the 0-60 time that matters it is the ability it has now to overtake very swiftly almost anything I want to. The 40 - 60 time is now very impressive.

Are there members who have experience with remapping by TOAF?

The Auto 160bhp tune that I use is both very smooth and has by far nicest one in terms of power and how it's delivered.

Far smoother than the manual 160 tunes
If you're interested drop me a message.

If you're in the Manchester area feel free to try out one of my customised tunes which can give a strong torque boost and top end performance too while working the part throttle areas to make it a bit easier to drive

Can also switch the engine to run without the MAF sensor should you wish

If you're not convinced then i'll put back to how it was with no charge (you can also keep the dyno results)
