Would you recommend I have my Volkswagen Touran's engine chipped to assist with towing?
I have a Volkswagen Touran SE TDI 1896cc (105) 2005. I have recently added a tow bar and often tow a caravan. I have found that although the caravan is towable, the engine needs a little help occasionally. What are your views on an ECU re-mapping/tune by a professional company and who would you recommend?

This engine used to be offered with up to 150PS by Volkswagen, and the official 130PS version was dyno-tested at about 143PS. The best people are www.superchips.co.uk
