Afternoon all

I’ve got a 2008 1.9 TiD estate (I’m not sure if it’s the 120bhp or 150bhp model).

Which mobile remap/tuning company would people recommend? I’m in the North West, about q5 miles outside Liverpool. I’ve had a look online, but would be interested in recommendations. I can’t see anything obvious in the Wiki at the top of the page.

Cheers

I had my (150bhp) Saab 9-3 tuned by https://www.celtictuning.co.uk/
The thing was like a rocket afterwards.

Did they come to you?

I’ve put my reg in on their website and it says it’s the 150bhp Linear SE model.

Did you notice any improvement in fuel economy? What was the rough cost?

Yes they did. They also did my BIL's X5.
Fuel? Yes I did however such was the fun factor I hooned it everywhere (my clutch and flywheel went 12 months later) that it probably could have been better.

Can't remember the cost sorry.

Cheers MonkeyBusiness. Sounds like it’s worth doing - most seem to be about £300 from what I’ve seen online. I had the clutch done on mine not that long ago and I’ve been off the road myself with a broken leg for the last two years or so, so it’s due a full service anyway, which I’ve arranged along with an MOT and getting it off SORN.
