You mention lead...do you mean the 16pin diag lead? If so then yes it is different,youhave to use the dedicated grande punto lead.

My bad Nigel (are you Nigel?) I think I must of confused myself in the process, as Ive been quite busy lately with ongoing projects at work, I must of forgot who said what!
Regardless, I'll send you an email ASAP to arrange a day to come and do it, its worth a try as you said!
? Sorry Dave, we havent had an email from you since 07/03 (BMC cleaning kit - which you bought) and 28/06 which was a link to a pic of your CDA. Its a policy of ours to answer (even if we cannot help the person) and keep a history of every email. We get an average of around 35 enquiries per day so there is a chance one got missed though and if so please accept our apologies. This is one of the reasons why we do not use forum PM's, as there are too many forums to trawl round and the history gets lost.dave said:2 from me are un answered
If you have something outstanding, give us a call, you have our number and we are always willing to give time up for a chat when we can and if we are underneath something and can't we will always ring back as you know!

No, its a different process. On the diagnostics side I beleive we can do these with the same lead as we do the JTDm's and Multijets.T14086 said:

I am wondering if Fiat changed the wiring loom when they updated to blue & me.
My GP 1.9 is the earliest model pre B & M - newdog22 what type is yours - if it is different maybe we could sort out a meet up with angeltuning as we are in the same area - Also would a picture of engine bay be of any help to you guys at angel - let me know if there is anything i can look for for you on the car.
Diagnostic (access to ECU) is through the CAN network on grande as there is now no dedicated 'K' line.

Through the diagnostic socket it takes several hours to read and write.
Alternatively the EDC16 ECU can be opened and read and written to with and without soldering, which in both instances is much quicker.

I'm seriously considering a Sporting 1.9 JTD alongside some more expensive options such as a Golf GT TDi 140 - it seems such good value.
I've taken some time out from fast cars in 2006. My last being a sensible, but heavily tuned Coupe 20V Turbo, which sadly went after I landed a job in a city centre and we didn't need two cars. But I'm now looking to get a new TD hatch in about 6-8 weeks.
This will be a "compromise" of a warm hatch for my other half and I, since she's never liked driving my hot hatches / Fiat Coupes.
Out of curiousity, what sort of gains does this sort of chip give and what's the cost? I'm more interested in a chunky power band and general driveability than headline power / torque bragging figures.
