Welcome. Aboard! I know the pre facelift cars were plod if they were white, looks like they added 198.1 to the options list for the later cars very nice indeed.

Nice car, with low miles too.....should fly when mapped.

Welcome, lovely motor! Having met Ben and known him since the starup of Shark I too can recommend him. His reputation precedes him in the VAG world...

Just got back from Shark and Wow. The car feels so much different and pulls like a bloody train if wanted. Set the trip going and coming back to compare and was also 3 mpg better too after the remap.

Post 703028 by ROZER on 2014-04-13 16:27:51

what power figures did you get.

Post 703057 by 850 T5s on 2014-04-13 18:53:12

Didn't go on rolling road but map was set to around 300. The difference is very pronounced from 3rd onwards and is very smooth. It feels like it always wants to go and is very hard not to use this new surge. Very very happy :-)
