[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1108776, member: 415308"] My favourite snake oil product is the catalyst pellets that go in fuel tank that magically de-carbon engines and improve MPG. The advert, which is seen in car magazines & newspapers, proudly states something along the lines of 'if they were that good the car manufacturers would use them' :-doh Those VAG PD engines do remap well while maintaining reliability, just change the oil every 9K and timing belt every 40k and they'll last forever. With regards to remaps and insurance, for every claim I've made I've just taken the car to my usual garage who then give the insurance company a quote. The insurance company then decides whether it gets fixed or is written off. If the garage wishes to keep your custom they aren't going to grass you up... caveat emptor and all that. [/QUOTE]
