Technical ECU Scan Problems!!! Errors

As you said Andy, people are being brainwashed into thinking that car drivers are always the bad guys. I don't understand this stupid global rule that says that car drivers are always at fault when they hit someone on a bike or on foot. That doesn't make any sense but everybody accepts it and now you have to think for everybody else on the road not just yourself.

As for the speed discussion, If I hear anyone say that speed kills again I'm gonna kill someone.

"speed kills" is a slogan designed for the brainless masses, not an argument.

I personally used to drive way above the speed limit ALL THE TIME. I Never had an accident because I used to do it only when it was perfectly safe and I don't drink alcohol. Strangely it's only after I decided to stop driving like I'm racer that I started getting way too stressed on the road and had a few road rages and even a motorway accident.

I don't know how I would cope with stupidly low speed limits on motorways on 7 hour trips if I didn't have cruise control, ...

If it hasn't happened again and it's driving normally I'd dismiss it as a fluke. I would however put the car through it's paces (where safe of course). And try and reproduce the error. If it happens again I'd be going back to the remap place as 99% sure it would be that causing it.

If you have FES i'd connect it up and monitor turbo boost pressure etc and see if it has any nasty spikes when on full throttle and full load.

There are a LOT of cowboys out there who haven't got a clue. Bought a £99 ECU mapper on eBay and think they're pros.

it hasnt happened again but two of the symptoms have stayed. actually 3.
the car is has now got less power, the whistling noise still comes from the engine, and it uses more fuel.

i do have fes, connected it and all the pressures seem to be fine.
 
1st of all, I'm not making a moral observation on the speed the op was doing, partly because I used to drive at high speeds "back in the day" at certain times and occasions, and know full well that an empty motorway at 2am in a performance car is a totally different kettle of fish to driving through a busy city high street at just 30mph. Wayyyy too many factors to consider.

I've had a diesel remap in the past and had an error code and limp come up shortly after some spirited driving, (high fuel pressure), I assumed it was the remap and a period of exceeding factory specs, so I cleared the code with fiat multiscan and got on with it.
 
Oh my word people... stay on topic and try help this guy out. If it were me I'd think straight to fuel pump. I would also remove the errors and find out if they came back.
