Who's had their leon TDI's remapped?

It'll be quicker and use less fuel. The only downsides might be smoke and wear on other components (brakes, clutch etc)
Just get it done

yes it will be a little smokier, but only when booting it, 95% of the time you are cruising so it wont be an issue.
if you drive like for like it wont smoke any more, just when you use some of the extra power available

Got a remap. More power, worse MPG and more smoke. Smoke I can deal with (its a diesel after all
Fish
worse mpg?
not on mine it aint, get around 200 miles more on the remap then when it was standard, even with the occassaional booting it

Definitely. The average MPG builds much quicker, and is better in heavy town driving, as most of my driving in the morning to work is in very heavy traffic. MPG results are consistently excellent

would rather have a remap and the dyno run together to see the gains
what are they charging you?

regards mpg.
if you have a remap (and not just one of these boxes that simply increases the amount of diesel injected across the rev range) then if you drive LIKE FOR LIKE you should not see a decrease in MPG, - usually you will get slightly more MPG as the standard map is conservative and 'safe' mand able to run on crap fuel.
However, the main benefit of a remap is more power is available. More power means more fuel and so if you boot it all the time then yes it will use more, - but you are forgetting that as its more powerful you have also been accelerating at a faster rate, going faster etc. so its not like for like driving.
If you get worse MPG this will usually be that you are simply tapping into the extra power regularly.
