My brother's new Punto 1.9JTD 85 2004, he bought from garage year and a half ago after took it out for a test drive, he found the clutch had slip on 4th gear up the hill and the salesman offer him a new clutch for free with a free MOT.
Everything goes well since till last Wednesday, his clutch has slip again about 33,000 miles later, he thought it was very usual short lifetime, he said to me he never drive abusive. He took the car to a independent garage to find out what is wrong, a guy been found the flywheel has fail too he thinks 99% sure the car has been remap far too much power!
I have never drove his car before but took it to home after finished replacement, I can feel the power is far more than 85bhp I agree with mechanical the car has been remap to unknown specialist no information on service book, no document mentioned any remap. That is why the salesman is hide and give him a free clutch replacement and never said anything about remap to get rid the car!
How can he have the standard power back to normal? Swap ECU from same 1.9JTD 85 engine at scrap yard????
