Too high of mileage for a remap?

**Friel** · 20th January 2011, 15:00

I've a 2002 2.0 DTI vectra, and was thinking of getting it remapped. But it's got 123,000 miles on the clock. Would a remap be a bad choice? Would it likely do more bad than good?

If it's been serviced well why let mileage bother you... i had an old vec b remapped @ 110k ran it to 130k with no bother & a lad in the north east is still running around in it now, it's been out of my hands for 5 years

i've heard of these engines doing 400k i wouldn't let 123k bother you its only just over half what the engine can do without giving any issues

Blimy, mines only got 80k I thought that might have been high

Is it only auto's that have a DPF ?

Regardless of the mileage, if it is in good health it will be fine.

If you are worried, do a cylinder leakage test etc and try to determind the wear etc....
