My 2006 BXE with 183,000 miles on uses just a tiny drop really in between my 6k oil and filter changes using vw quantum 507 oil from eBay. I check the oil one every 2 weeks just as I am used to driving old bangers for many years to be cautious. Only noticed in about 5k miles I had to once top it up ...

I priced up the bits on euro car parts and it comes to £167 anyway so it's a saving of £100 if I do it myself. Mm I thought I would be saving more....

Re: UKPASSATS - Price List!

So can you do economy remaps or performance or both or are they a generic remap ?

How safe would this be running a smf conversion on the car to have a remap? How much mpg would be improved on the economy ones and how much bhp on the performance remap on a 1.9tdi bxe engine? Thanks
