Ant0889 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hello all,Finally had the chance to buy a Seat Arosa (not a lupo i know), but seeing as the Lupos and Arosas are basically brothers from another mother i thought id join up here!i know threads are redundant without pictures but i dont actually have any yet! so imagine a bog standard mk2 seat arosa 1.4 tdi, in black with more knocks and bangs that your local night worker, (was previously owned by a student who evidentally didnt give a monkeys).ive sorced two new headlights, front bumper with grills, passenger wing, bonnet, bonnet cable and latch. just need a passenger door, drivers wing and drivers rear light (currently has one black and one red rear light).this will be my daily work horse so dont expect big things, but whilst im here anyone got any recommendations to do?cheersAnthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattarosa Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah the usual thing is to have your tdi remapped to increase torque figures and other such things, pretty easy and not to expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah google it. Basically telling your computer to give you more power and economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant0889 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 ah sorry, i know what a remap is, just didnt believe these engines would respond well, if at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 25bhp roughly and a shed load of torque. Makes a world of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant0889 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Dblock.. so the remap is a workwhile venture? i take it you want a rolling road map rather than a flash-adjusted base map? have you done it?also on a side note, are topics and sections locked out unless you are a paid member?cheersAnthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Super worthwhile. Economy and power are better. Makes the car much more driveable and dare I say nippy.You can get a custom map but unless you have the money as then payback will be way longer or non standard mods cams big turbo etc generic one is fine. I remapped my brothers for £50-£60 from black smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
