OMG....

Given the small cost differential I would recommend looking at the MTE or RICA maps. There are some reviews and discussion about then on here.

OMMMMGGGG.....

I have the Volvo approved Heico Tune and it is perfect

Back in it's day - 9 years ago - it cost around 2290 GBP, with Volvo guarrantee, proper homolgation, no issues with vehicle inspection (emissions, noise, etc), certificate in the vehicle, vehicle documents updated, central vehicle registry updated, and permanent label with stamped serial number located in the engine bay.

Miles apart from the "reflash" services offered by fish-n-chip tuners...

Can give you my personal examples:

1998 Seat Ibiza 1.9TDI (110Hp stock)
factory chipped from 0 with ABT chip
0 problems
Sold with 247000 Km on odo

2001 Seat Toledo 1.9TDI (150Hp stock)
chipped by Revo @ ~75000Km
1 Clutch and Dual mass flywheel replacement @ ~350000km
1 turbo rebuild @ 400000Km (99.99% sure it was not remap related)
Sold with 479000Km on odo but car local to me and still going with 500000Km+

2005 Mercedes C 220 CDI (150hp stock)
chipped by Rica @ ~73000Km
0 problems
Sold with 696000Km on odo

Cars were always well cared for (according to Manufacturer service intervals)
