KWP2000 remap stuff on eBay

Any chance of a how-to idiot's guide?

[Doggy]

Easy!

All you need is grit, determination, dogged persistence, perseverance, endurance and you need to be resolute, unwavering, single minded, obsessive and opportunist. A healthy dose of being in the right place at the right time doesn't hurt either.

After all, we managed it.

Certainly easy. Get some 1260 Galletto cables from Bay of e. Connect one end of the cable to a USB port, the other to the OBD2 port in the car, turn the ignition on but don't start the car, open the file in the program supplied with the cables, and press download button. 80 seconds later, you have a remapped car.

Simples. I'll upload the file when I find some space to upload it to..

[steve_earwig]

Ah, you guys just make it sound so easy *looks forward to being the proud owner of a large black paperweight*

Ecu files are only 512Kb, so small enough for e-mail attachment. (Don't know if you can do that with PM's on here though)?

Yeah, I tried to attach it to the forum but it didn't allow me.

BTW, with my remap it's quite powerful - I certainly wonder what a remapped 2.2 HDI goes like

[steve_earwig]

180bhp? Yeah, me too

[steve_earwig]

I'm just looking at that there 1260 Galletto thingy on evilbay, prices are all over the place! From 99 cents to 88 quid Are they all the same?

Come on now stevie, you know it's all going to come crashing down around you.....just.....leave it alone

*looks forward to the first "OMG my HP pump has locked up" thread*.............

[steve_earwig]

Indeed, I'm not sure that it's possible to lock the HP pump but that's the sort of thing I worry about, that "I wish I had a time machine" moment.

[Welly]

I was thinking along the lines of over-loading the pump by running higher than usual pressures.

I have to ask, is this re-map file a proper re-map or does it just frigg up the HP pump to squirt more juice in all the time? also, this re-map must be the work of some person so won't they be a bit miffed at their work getting splashed all over the web?

You know, if I tried doing this I would be the only person left standing by the side of their car (in the rain for effect) with no ECU file, nothing, completely blank

Will test the times out in a minute on the way to Bristol

By the way, I am not sure this remap is good for my car (my particular car). Already had a few "niggles" with it. On Sunday evening, when starting the car, a coolant light came one for a few seconds but hasn't reappeared since. And yesterday, accelerating from around 50mph in 5th at full blast, the car started to shake quite violently under load Wonder if something is on its way out...

[Welly]

the car started to shake quite violently under load

You already replaced the engine mount didn't you?

She canna take it Cap'n!

Mine does that a bit occasionally, I just ease off a gnat's......DMF / clutch protesting?

FFS!

I'm gonna tell him where to stick his ecu flasher in a minnit
