Car had re-map done this afternoon. Well impressed with the results, the car is now seriously quick. It is more responsive throughout the whole rev. range and the torque is now pretty mind blowing - pushed back into the seat type mind blowing

Overall very pleased with the results.

Many thanks to Simon from E-Maps who is a professional and a gentleman. It was nice to meet him and we had a good chat throughout the afternoon. I also learned alot about my engine.

Nice one BB! Hope you enjoy it

Amazing difference isnt it - Simons a nice chap as well, really knows his stuff, now watch that orange light constantly flickering on in this weather. I drive mine with the DTC off now, as I find it much easier to throttle adjust the car - It doesnt feel as heavy as it used to eh??

I didn't realise you were getting remapped Helen... glad you are happy and can now out-perform Carlos Will this seriously affect fuel economy or have any other side effects?

Good one Helen! Glad it's giving you so much extra pleasure. You might find it gets quicker over the next couple hundred miles, as the ECU keeps adapting to the new power. Good luck to your driving licence too!!!

Oh God, here we go

You will find fuel economy is better, and the car is instantly better - no settling in period, not like a petrol which will re-learn it value's over a few hundred miles

Funny you should mention that little orange light - it was 'on' more this afternoon Thanks for your help BTW.

Thanks Gordon, I was always pretty confident I could out perform Carlos anyhow TBH. He'd run out of steam before I ever did. Experience over youth everytime

Nicely phrased Tony! Will it really get quicker - bloody hell! Good point about the driving licence though - currently clean but.....

[squeezebm]

Now in my book you have now become a TOP BIRD,re-map to an already quick car
and to top it off you just did it instead of talking about it over and over and OVER again!!

ENJOY

[beemerbird]

Thanks squeezebm - you've made me blush

Hi there

what is the new HP and torque data? Did he remove the top speed governour?
Did he run a dyno before and after?

No, Im surprised Simon didnt tell you that, with diesel re-maps it is instant, obviously as the engine loosens up with age it will get faster, but all engines do that!!

Really Oli? That's good for you diesel lot then - us petrol lot have to run the new program in so the ECU adapts to the new fuelling and boost requirements, so for instance on James' car the difference between 2 miles and 50 miles after remap was huuuuuge... and will probably get better over the next 200 miles or so

Well,well,well,bit of a dark horse arn't you Helen.
Kept that close to your ................whoops,kept that quiet!
Looks like there's some serious competition going on,you're certainly the raciest forum member that's for sure.
Top job,glad you're pleased with it.

and can now out-perform Carlos

no-one can outperform Carlos,you only have to read his posts

CrimsonRedE93 and looks like you just beat Carlos to it !

Mmm the way he's carrying on,he's gonna get left behind in everyone's dust!

Get ready for a barrage of questions from the Fandango Helen,he'll want to know everything from 0-60 times,increase in BHP and Torque Etc.
Disregard the ones about waist and bust measurements though.

Yep, when I had my GTI remapped the difference between 2 and 30 miles was just immense - The 335D was just instant, and now Im used to it, it just feels normal again, I just cannot think of another car to go to after this one, except of course a 997 Carrera S

Money well spent Helen......hope you enjoy

Early xmas pressy!?

DJ - New HP & torque data is 350 bhp & 700 NM/515 lbs/ft.

No he did not remove the top speed governor. No dyno run at all - he did the re-map on site at my house.
