C350 remap???

[Iainc350]

hi all,
I'm thinking of getting my c350 remapped it's a 2010 model with about 50k miles.
Any advice? Is this a good idea or will I be getting car issues my doing this?
Anyone have the same car and done it with no issues?

Thanks Iain

I had a remap to my E350, the engine responds brilliantly - punchier and more frugal.
The 350 engine responds particularly well, no downside I've experienced after six months or so.
Map not chip though.

Yeah that's the way! GAD are your best bet 'locally' and know that engine really well - they are sponsors on here too so will give you a good deal

GAD (Essex)
Takes a morning while you wait, good cafe just around the corner or a loan car...
Have a search on the forum GAD regularly contribute and may offer a deal?

Had a couple of local companies very different in costs.
One offering extra 30 bhp
One offering 42 bhp.
Should I expect more ornis this safe practice

 

[John Laidlaw]

^ sounds very conservative IMO!

 

[Iainc350]

That's what I'm thinking?
What should I be expecting?

I just checked my quote from GAD. E320 V6 CDi @ 221bhp ==> 260bhp & 600Nm

 

[Iainc350]

How much did they want to do that?

You will have to contact them to get a bespoke quote for your car, the ECU has to be removed to be done on the C350 CDi

(£500-600) shhhhh!!!
My other half thought the remap was a satnav update,
I don't need her getting any further than that!
300+bhp
Expect more new tyres though...
Best upgrade possible for the money imo

 

[Craiglxviii]

How much did they want to do that?

£375 all in

So are we saying from 221 bhp I should be expecting about 260 bhp?

That is what GAD quoted me yes.

You have 231bhp so close to 300 and near 700 torques
