Does anyone have experience of using a 'TDI-tuning' box on a 2.0 Hdi Picasso.  I could do with a bit more pulling power to tow my elderly Swift 440/4 Rapide, MTPLM 950Kg.  The Picasso is '54 reg and has about 110,000 on the clock.

Thanks in anticipation.

got one on my 1.6hdi , went from 110 bhp to around 140 bhp pulls like a train also fuel economy has increased by around 15 mpg when towing

As above get a proper remap

Whatever you do do not buy one of those chip things off ebay or your engine will blow

Whats the price of a remap ?

Depending on what you want from £250 to £400, just google diesel remap and check out the company's that do it

Some of them will send you a small plug and play unit all you do is plug it into the diagnostic port and it downloads you can even remove the map and reinstall it when you need it

http://www.superchips.co.uk/  this company sends you a unit called bluefin where you plug it in

I know I bang the drum for Skoda, but a Skoda dealer will also tune up there cars for a small fee, with no effect on the insurance premiums, as the car came from the dealer and was not taken to a tuner by the owner, and does not affect the warranty, allegedly the whole VW group can do this.

A proper remap is the right way to go though, as everything can be checked in house
