Hello, first post!
I've just acquired a 2006 Audi A6 Allroad, 2.7 TDI, the 177 BHP model. It's only got 88000 miles on the clock and is in really good condition, full Audi service history too!
The car is running really well, I've only had it a few days but it seems like it.
I've read a few posts on the web about people remapping these and seeing gains of 3-6 MPG with the added bonus of approx. +30 bhp and some extra torque too.
I'm wondering if it would be best to leave the car as it is, take it and have it re-mapped or just purchase one of those "racechip" chips that comes with a year engine warranty and upto £4000 of cover in case anything goes wrong...
A chip would seem a better option because then I can remove it for MOT and such?
Does anyone else run their 2.7 TDI with a chip, how has it been over an extended period of time?
Regards,
Dave
