Hi All,
I have recently had my 1.4 TDi 75 PS remapped.
It's been remapped from 73 BHP - 144 Torque (lbft) up to 105BHP - 207 Torque (lbft)
The improvement is astounding, the car is much more fun to drive now and relaxed driving is much easier with less gear changing etc.
However, there is an unusual noise when using the "extra" power. I can hear a fast metal tinkling, which is not very loud but very noticeable at certain RPMs. It's likely to be coming from the turbo but I'm not sure. I doubt this is normal but i thought i'd ask you guys before I speak to the tuning people to ask for their input.
I also had a Polo Dune 1.4TDi remapped on the same day and is does not make this noise.
One thought was that the moo-ing noise that the car used to make has changed but the new noise is so different I don't think this is likely. Also is still makes the mooing noise a little, just not as much.
More info on the moo-ing here:

What do you think?
Thanks,
