General Ducato 2020 with Comfortmatic gearbox

[simonm]

I have an option on a smart motorhome made in 2020 fitted with the Comfortmatic robot gearbox. I am aware that in the past people have experienced problems with them, but that was 2010/2012 from memory. I know that newer ones are a true torque converter 9 speed gearbox, but should I shy away from the robot? It has covered under 10,000 miles total in exactly 3 years. This is X290 model.

Also how would it feel if I remap it from 150bhp to 180/200?

It must be one of the very last of the production line. Ours rolled off in December 2019 and has the new 9 speed gearbox. Far better than the comfortmatic ever was.
