A massive thanks to Cameron and all at Celtic Tuning. What a massive difference this has made to the car, it drives like someone has dropped a new engine in overnight.
I can’t get the smile off my face when I drop the pedal in any gear now. Could someone please explain where all that lag has gone (joking) Cameron made it disappear. Think I may have to upgrade my brakes now.
Thanks again and will band your name around to anyone that will listen.

Went for two maps; eco and track...car is more economical on the motorways, but still eats a lot around Milton Keynes (admittedly my driving style doesn't help this!) Track version really comes into it's own when there is some ballast (i.e. my rather fat mate).
You can tell how much smoother the power curve is by how iit pulls throughout the gear, and when by myself it is a lot punchier and 'instantaneous'. I do get wheel spin now, so launch control setting should be considered.
Overall, for £450 I got two maps and a gizmo I can use to swap between them in 10 mins, and some very good customer service whilst fitting! It does work, and there is a big difference between the two maps.
A few things they should sort out - Software compatibility (Mac/Win8) as future remaps will need be done through Celtic now I have the e-motion (...if I get a bigger turbo, for example, I will need two new custom remaps...and yep, they''ll be an eco + a track).

Thank you Kevin for arriving on time after nearly a 4 hour journey from Cornwall. I had a number of questions about the tuning and how this would affect the car. Kevin was happy to answer all my questions and explained how everything worked. After the remapping had been completed the test run was an interesting experience.
The character and performance of the car had changed appreciably. Acceleration and torque were noticeably improved and this was just minutes after the work had been carried out. Kevin explained that It normally takes up to a 100 miles of so before the full effect of the remapping begins to bed in. I was also encouraged to " give it some" during the first 20 miles. (This apparently helps the ecu to reconfigure the new parameters set by the remap). This was a task that I really enjoyed carrying out, working the engine, and throttle much more than I would normally have done. Thirty minutes later I can report that I have been really pleased and impressed with the transformation. The car responds with much greater determination, acceleration seems effortless, with a huge sense of urgency and I look forward to this being even better in the future when the ecu has accepted all the new mapping. Although I am writing only a few hours after the remapping, I am sure that I made a good decision to go with Celtic Tuning.
I look forward to further improvement in the weeks ahead and it will be interesting to see how fuel consumption is affected.
Cheers

I got my GTTDI 115PD re-mapped by Celtic Tuning. The communication before hand was second to none and the lads turned up on the dot. The second the
bonnet was lifted down came the sleet. Not put off by this they went to work. What a difference it made!!!
Apologies for the 'blue language' on the test drive but I couldn't believe it was the same car! The torque is totally amazing now and it's hard to keep the traction control light out.
The power used to drop off at 2500rpm but now it pulls smooth and strong up to 4000rpm. 4th gear pulls like 3rd used to. Economy is certainly no worse, if anything it's better because you don't have to 'drop it down' as much.
So glad I got it done instead of paying 1000's more for a GTTDI 150PD.
Thanks a bunch.

Many thanks for the remap you carried out on my VW GTTDI Golf.
I had heard that the remap takes 100 miles or so to bed in but on the test drive the difference was immediately obvious.
It's easy to use too many superlatives but the performance really is completely changed. The acceleration in second from 15-45mph is brutal and each gear now pulls like the one lower used to.
I find now that changing down is usually unnecessary. Also, apart from the obvious power and torque gains, the engine is running smoother.
I have owned the car for 2 years and only wish I had got it done sooner.

Just a quick thanks for remapping my car last Thursday.
Its settled down really well and with danger of using the biggest cliche ever, it really does feel like a different car! Power is there constantly, it feels smoother and far less sluggish. It pulls all the way through the gears! I keep wanting to pull my foot down! the more I do the larger the smile grows on my face!
Regards,

I've just had my car remapped, and I'm very happy with the outcome.
The increase in power is phenomenal! The technician I met was very helpful and professional.
I would recommend anyone to have their car remapped. Thanks Celtic Tuning!

Thanks to the lads at Celtic tuning my VW Golf 150 diesel now has the bhp to beat my friends Clio sport 185 which feels quick to any driver.
For a diesel car you can't want much more. After the re-map was completed I took the car out for a test drive and was told to go steady then open it up however when I put my foot down in 1st,2nd then 3rd gear all I got was the traction light flashing at me. It really does make the car feel completely different.
To say this diesel has got 205bhp it doesn't seem possible to the petrol heads in denial.
Thanks a lot to all the lads at Celtic Tuning. The job was well done and steadily done and in the end I got more than the performance I was expecting.

WOW, what can I say, I am well impressed with the remap, the 0-60 has dropped by 2 secs and it pulls through every gear, over taking is now a doddle.
I am finding it hard to get the smile of my face, the car just eggs you on to have a lead foot!
Thanks to all the Celtic tuning team especially Mark for doing the work and turning at 9am on the dot.

Alongside the engine control unit (ECU) we are also able to provide transmission control unit (TCU) software to help further enhance your vehicle. There is a lot of limitation built into modern gearbox software to help hold back the power gains you are trying to achieve from your engine, our gearbox software overcomes this and helps transform the way the car drives. Some of the modifications include raising maximum torque limiters, faster gear shift speeds, increased clamping pressures to prevent clutch wear, increased engine RPM limiters and much more…
