No progress to report. ECU on my car is a Siemens and Nigel does not have amap for that. If it was a Bosch then all would be well :cry:

Nigel is trying to locate a map for the Siemens ECU but I'm not holding my breath :cry: :cry:

I've just had my 110 D9 remapped by a company in hinckley called SP Tuning. I know that they do offer tuning for the Seimens based pugs. It might be worth giving them a call too. It will cost more than a Bosch re-map as the chip has to be de-soldered and then re-soldered. The guy you want to speak to is Jamie.

Remap

I used performance torque (http://www.p-torque.co.uk) they were brilliant with my remap on my 90, it now kicks out about 125bhp, I know this guy will do both types of ecu. I now get soooooo much more performance, no smoke, and use less fuel even when being booted, which is good since I cover 25K per year (now done over 90K). When tuning the HDi you must increase turbo boost pressure since it's that will stop the car from pumping out lots of dirty unburnt fuel. I can't stress enough that you must service the engine on the nail or before- if you don't then of course the engine wont last as long - the tune has taken out the tolerence that the manufacture put in, in case you couldnt be bothered to service it. As an extra precaution I also use an oil treatment called ZX1 - it's the stuff used on oil rigs to prolong the ultra expensive drill bits and in motorsport - there is nothing on earth thats as slippery as ZX1, you may also get a few BHP into the bargin :o)
