Slight loss of power?

Post by Captain Jack »

Hi guys,

Since I remapped my car back to its original state, it *seems* to be down on power compared to pre-remap. Now, I know that it's probably just my imagination because I know what it's like when remapped :twisted:, but I can't help but feel that it was better before.

Anyway, this weekend I've done a full service with all filters replaced (air filter was filthy!) and oil changed. I've also sprayed my MAF with a brake cleaner in hope that a) it helped and b) it didn't destroy that MAF! It didn't seem to be as shiny as it was before I sprayed it.... :? The service certainly made the engine a bit quieter and I've also stuffed some injector cleaner inside. And I've disconnected the vacuum pipe from the EGR and blocked it with a screw. In a way it seems better but it could be a placebo effect. In fact the whole thing could be a placebo effect :lol:

I've also replaced a COM2000 stalk and gotten rid of many rattles in the steering column!

What a busy weekend....

Any ideas?

I think you're probably not remembering accurately. I've convinced myself several times that mine is slower than immediately after the remap and it's 'learnt' how to dawdle again. :roll:

No one else agrees, it's probably all in my head....
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
