Everyone on here who has had a remap is also a bad person because they have increased the emissions of their vehicle.
They should all be burned at the stake tbh. Ecologically ofc, no need for the unnecessary emissions.

I’m really sorry, and I don’t mean to be rude/offensive, but are you always high or something?
I literally never understand what your posts mean
I make up for my stage 1 remap by driving like a 100 year old person most of the time

I didn't say excessive, I said extra.
Extra load on the parts are still extra load on the parts, especially of the car's age.
Although in all likelihood is that it has lost some power over the years and this will just bring it up near where it was.
That's largely a myth

Also everyone who doesn't drive like a old man and red lines every gear is a bad person. Also every person who changes their car every year, every person that has more than one car, every person that takes their kids to school in a car when they could walk.
We are all sinners.

Younger me, mod and remap the hell out of it.
Older me just doesn’t want the headache of insurance declarations, reliability, resale issues etc.

burned at the stake was proposed , so in that context (with lord of rings reference)
the cars without the dpf are polltuing so would be killing children, so if you follow the UK news (and dig on new legislation)
Won't be long till its out and in use
Phew, what will you do with all your extra free time?
Is this the test that’s been incoming for at least eight years?
Yea, clearly the test equipment isn't cheap enough yet.
Netherlands is doing it now though.
I'm like Jesus then.
I drive like a grandad (these days) keep my cars until they die, can't walk the kids to school.
Hell, my house even has solar panels. I don't work as a car salesman for a living.
I feel great.
I'm off the celebrate by sacrificing some whores in the name of the lord. Now where did I leave my favourite cleaver....
I wouldn't dare it on a VAG with the DSG. I actually broke my new gearbox after 8000 km's on my Cupra, it's barely able to cope with the stock power let alone remapped, plus the hybrid version is very complicated with 2 clutches for the 1.4 tsi and a third clutch for the electric motor 
.
I was tempted as the 1.4 tsi could be mapped to 180 bhp instead of 150, which would make a total of 275 bhp, but I spared myself the headache. If i'd have to pay for a new gearbox because of mapping I'd be ******, now after a lot of hassle they replaced it under warranty.
