What is the easiest way to tell if your car has been re-mapped...

Hi all,
Just as the title.... what would be the easiest (maybe cheapest) way to tell if a car has had a remap?
Is there anyway of looking on the ECU for this? OR would it have to have a rolling road test??
Cheers,
Lig.

There’ll be other ways I’m sure like a read of the ECU but for £60 - £100 a dyno test might be a good option

Easiest way to read ecu, but dyno also a choice

Thanks both....
So Tadass910 how would I tell from reading the ECU and how do you do this? Would that 'Carista' be able to tell me somehow??
I dont want to know what has been done i.e power, but just if anything has been 'touched' at all...
Cheers,

Best way to visit ecu remap dealer, I don’t think that Carista can see if your ecu was remaped, also you can try see how car goes from 0-100 and compare to stock car

I’m pretty sure if you plug
VCDS in you can go to info and it will show flash attempts and the date
