Not Happy Remap gone after distribution system repair???

HI,

I had that some time ago. There was a problem with the other belt that runs anternator, airco most and other stuff. Subsequently that belt fell off and caused some more destruction in the system - with one of the cylinder's valves going to hell and car going into a dead mode So it was a comprehensive distribution system failure which was then fully repaired including all components like belts, tensioners etc.

Question really is, does after such a repair and then engine set up the remapping go to hell?? I noticed that the car has lost the additional 25bhp I had, which was well confirmed some three, four times under quite controlled conditions same load etc Car was able to do 10km/h more top speed then before the remap - respectively 208 vs 218 after (GPS measured each time) After the repair and another two tests I am almost sure that has gone to hell as the car now does exactly 208-209 and not one km/h more!

Awaiting opinions, I'm sure this had happened before to somebody else, probably it is only me discovering new worlds..

156SW 1.9JTDm + remap 165bhp

Thinking of... 159SW 2.4JTDm Q4, 18" spoke rims, black + black upholstery + remap 210->250bhp

Nev's car came back from a dealer without the remap.

Who did it? Some people will put it back on for free.

Re: Remap gone after distribution system repair???

If there has been an upgrade to the original map since your car was sold to you, a dealer will automatically apply it, which will overwrite your remap.

A good remapper should put it back on F.O.C, or if he has to come to you just enough money to cover fuel and his time.

Thanks, I'm contacting my remapper (Autotuneheinz in Aalst, next to Brussels) we'll see what he says. The remap was done some 1.5y ago. Hope he will come forward and propose something good.
