Hi
If anyone in London or the South East would like to have their engine remapped, please contact me quoting that you are a FiatForum member.
While I understand the reluctance to believe an independent company can improve engine economy and performance, Ffoxy has hit the nail on the head with just one of the reasons the manufacturers map can be improved. There are others, including holding engines back purely for marketing reasons to differentiate one model of a car from a more expensive version.
Only today I received a testimonial from a Ducato owner that is delighted with the transformation of his Motorhome (remapped a couple of months ago and put to trial during an evaluation period). Despite the fact he now tows a car behind it he is praising much improved pulling power as well as an improvement in excess of 10% on his MPG.
Remaps work for very good reasons. If you'd like to talk over what you could expect from your car or van, or just to understand remapping more, feel free to call.

Agreed that a remapped vehicle needs to have good care taken of it. One of the reasons manufacturers may under-tune vehicles is the expectation of poor maintenenace, poor fuel and poor lubricants in some areas of the world. My own invoices reinforce the fact that proper maintenenace periods should be adhered to, and that decent quality oils should be used.
I think it is very fair to say that the issue is very much dependent on the way a driver uses his remapped engine. If it has been remapped because the peak power is going to be used constantly, to its limits, there will naturally be more wear and tear. If the power is used primarily to provide better low-rev pulling power, using the additional torque for easier driving styles and reducing gear changes, then the issue is a different one and the effect on wear and tear will be negligible if not non-existent. The economy drivers that want the remap for better MPG would fall into this camp too.
Thanks for the balanced view. Its an educational process!

Summing up - I'd guarantee wothwhile MPG improvements for turbo-diesels,
Paul
Guarantee eh?
What guarantee is that then?
The 60,000 miles a year courier fleets must be queueing at your door. I'm surprised you've got time to post on here![]()
are you after the most boring member of the year award?
no one is interested in your opinion based on nothing, close the door on your way out
Ah I see he is listed as a trader. So its quite enlightening to see how he talks to people who enquire about a guarantee. :devil:No, its his way of saying you are becoming boring.
For those that are interested, our guarantee is for MPG improvements of 8% plus on turbo-diesel engines, or we return your vehicle to standard and refund your money. Naturally you get average BHP improvements of 25% on the turbo-diesels too.
We also guarantee noticeable power improvements on turbo-petrol and NA petrol engines, although NA engines will normally gain only 8% or so. Turbo-petrol engines normally gain 20%+. We go for a test drive with the vehicle owner after every remap. Believe me we wouldn't embarrass ourselves if we didn't make a worthwhile difference.
Our work is covered by full motortrade insurance. We run a diagnostic check on all vehicles before the remap to ensure there are no existing problems to be repaired.
Any questions, please feel free to call.
