Probably been asked a few times before.
Is the V8 td 2007 suitable for a remap? What are the pro's and cons apart from paying for it.
cheers

Better fuel consumption, FAR better overtaking, FAR more fun! Against more stress on the transmission, potentially more strain on the already delicate turbo's!!!

I had it done on my 2007 3.6 no difference to fuel economy but it certainly picked it's feet up when asked to, particularly on the motorways. Superchips Geoff

If yours is a 3.6 I'd map it - had my old one done by JE - faster than a 4.2 supercharged to 60 - JE's own figures - they used to have a video of it a few years ago. If its a 4.4 tdv8 I wouldn't bother - the engine is fantastic as it is, the torque is stunning and only around 1 sec slower to 60 than the 5.0 supercharged but with double the mpg  2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Had mine done by B.A.S. 100% recommended

Another vote for BAS

Dead easy as you can do it yourself at home if you have a Windows PC - Pete sends you a unit to plug into the car, download your existing map, plug the box into your PC and email it to him. He sends back a new map then you upload to the car.

You own the box so can remove the remap and install the original any time you like

I'd probably have gone to JE, but they are a 9-5 Monday to Friday outfit

Pete replied to everything I asked almost immediately well into the evening. My map was returned in minutes on a Sunday- top bloke

i see its an old thread ,but i had my VW T5 super chipped and was wondering the best remap for my 3.6tdv8 ?

^ can't say I noticed much, if any, difference in MPG but the car picks up a lot quicker and has much more torque at the low end.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I found my BAS map didn't make much of a difference to consumption or is it my right foot???

But did make it into a much nicer car to own... Smoothed out all the flatspots and made A road overtakes much better

cool .......sounds like bas could be an option if the price is right and find somewhere local ....  57 - Silver TDV8 VSE loaded
