01 2.0hdi What to check before a remap? - smokescreen
Hi,

Getting the car (110 hdi to 150ish) remapped next week. Its recently had a new clutch on it and soon to have its alternator belt done too, along with new brakes (pads and discs) and new suspension coils + shock absorbers in the last 6 months... oh and new tires all round!

I believe the cambelt is the original, and its done 61k. Oil done in the last 5k, and most my driving is motorway based. Air filters and such were done with the oil change. Recently flied through its MOT... mind you, had a bit done to it beforehand!

Have already paid the extra for the insurance, so covered as soon as I get remapped.

Anything else I should check before taking this for a remap next Saturday?

Thanks in advance
