As Oli @BognorMotors was saying, he was flat out last Friday.... that is because he was giving my 2018 DSG 204 - 4 motion, a TVS remap.
The comments from the guys above are very true, don't doubt that. The TVS remap really does transform your box.
Things I have found for certain since my 2...
Had a REVO stage 1 remap on my 102 5speed today and the difference is above and beyond what I expected. Acceleration is much better (as expected), the van does feel lighter/empty (it's converted though not loaded), but it's the increased range of each gear that's best - so much smoother and...
From what I’ve seen on the forum there are some minor niggles like leaking windows and roof rails which can be easily fixed. Then there are more risky variants like the 180 bi-tdi and the 5speed manual if getting a remap. But these are small numbers and shouldn’t put you off, most (probably...
Personally, I drove a few 102s when I was looking for my camper and thought them a bit under-powered but it was the 5speed box that came with it that broke the deal as well. I went for a 150 / 6 speed in the end and it’s a much better drive that might be even better with a remap after the VW...
I thought I'd pop up quick review of Pendle performance.
I booked a mobile remap of my 102 T6 a few weeks back taking advantage of their offer of £50 discount.
We have nearly completed the conversion now and the extra weight was starting to show, especially on the hills.
I can't for the life...
Hi, Have just seen this thread, am looking for a remap on my van but am not sure if I have a euro 5 or euro 6, any idea how I find out. Have a 2018 plate T6 102bhp 5speed manual T28 LWB. Cheers
A good remap will take account that the 5speed is weak and torque limit the first few gears.
I don’t think Revo do the 102 anymore, but Pendle do.
Tuning boxes have a place, but definitely won’t torque limit lower gears.
Yo! Just recently purchased a 102 T6 and have been reading alot on this forum about remaps etc so thought I'd join and ask about tuning box.
I've tead that remaps for the 102 T6 model arent recommended due to the weak turbo and 5speed gear box, so have stumbled across 2 tuning boxes...
I have a 102 5speed and can easily keep up with traffic and make progress when I need to. Remember vans & Kombis have a lower speed limit! They can all be remapped to a higher BHP though one of the companies pulled the 102 remap due to turbo problems.
I always have manuals as like an involving...
Andyf I’m in a similar situation.... I have a euro 6 102 that has already been remapped, but I don’t have any details about the remap and to me it just doesn’t feel right.... so this Thursday I’m having a Pendle remap at Leighton Vans.... I’ll let you know the outcome!?
Thanks for the info and video link! I had read that Pendle were the best place to get the remap as they don't necessarily squeeze everything out of the engine in order to boast huge figures. They seem to have found a real world solution that doesn't stress the 5speed box and clutch assembly...
This sounds all very familiar!...our little fella is now 11 weeks old, i bought the T6 (mine is a converted panel van) to give us a multi functional vehicle...we can carry 6 people, stick a assembled pushchair in and still have room for the dog and some shopping. i got a 102 and haven't found it...
I’ve got a Shuttle 150ps with the 6 speed box and I’m very pleased with it. You will notice trading up from a car that even with the 150 engine that you need to change down on some motorway hills, I can only imagine this is much more frequent with the 102 engine.
if you’re thinking of getting a...
hi ,I’m so jealous you live in jersey, my fav place !
check out my no. Plate !
Just wanted to mention I have a diesel chip box fitted on my van , gives extra 30 bhp (140 std)
Plug and play about £80 from eBay , had for 3 years now no probs.
I know not as a good as a remap but I’m happy with...
