Can't make my mind up if I should remap my3.6 08 with 85000 mileage,or bit the bullet and get a 4.4. I have seen a few coming in to my price bracket,you views please.guys.

I did mine, think it was £150 cash as guy had three to do the same day.
It was done at a proper workshop rather than some oik with a laptop and I got a full receipt etc.

Must admit 282 to 340 ish is better than most as its usually a 40bhp ish gain but the torque oh lordy, what a difference. I'm very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to do it again, but there again I always get all my vehicles done, even the motorhomes is.

So the answer to your quandary a big yes, plus you know your vehicle rather than the new unknown one. Many thanks
Paul

I agree had mine done a few months back, plenty grunt now

I had my old, overweight TD6 done last year by a BMW specialist and its nowhere near as slow and gutless as it was. Still heavy and barge-like, but she does pick up a lot quicker, especially if already moving.

It has temporarily held me back from getting a TDV8 in fact, due to the low miles I do a year.

I had my 2007 done using a Bluefin device, passed it on to new owner, another forum member, there was a clear improvement in performance. Geoff

Do they possibly give issues with the extra torque on the TC or gearbox - I would;t want to upset an already fragile system..?? Ash

mrblonde where did you get yours done, i have the TD6 and would like a bit more ...power!

scotty

I've had a Bluefin remap since June last year and covered about 18000 kms. Difference in power & torque has been very impressive. To date I have not had any issues with TC or auto transmission but I had a total flush and filter change when I purchased the vehicle in May last. I don't thrash the vehicle but it always has more than ample power & torque for my needs especially towing a 2 tonne van.

Cheers

Is there an easy way to tell if the car has already been re-mapped? My TD6 is the first FF I have ever driven, to me it seems pretty good considering its nearly 3 tons. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE

No, no way to tell unless you can borrow another identical car and drive one after another.

I had the same concern with my old X5, I found most decent remappers wil check your car and if std will proceed, if not tell you so for no charge.
Mine had already been done, I was right miffed. Many thanks

God, sorry for the late reply Scotty, I rarely get on here It was a mobile service, guy called Simon at E-maps (he has a website), hes based in Midlands somewhere (ish) and travelled to me. Lovely guy. very knowledgeable he's a BMW specialist which is why I chose him for the TD6 engine, he got great feedback on an old BMW forum. Think it was £299 all in, he cleared some old faults before doing the map (he even asked if I had gearbox issues 10k miles ago, I did. Had it replaced 5 years ago) and he talked me through every step. Remapped it then out for a run, really impressed with it

Highly recommend it, and him too. If my next car or RR is mappable, I'll be using him again

i have a tdi tuning box on my td6 and on maximum economy setting and such a difference.
220bhp/470lbs and 25mpg around town/40mpg on a run.best £300 spent

I've just had my TD6 done by Alive Tuning in Lincolnshire - I'll do a full write up soon, but given this has made a whole world of difference, I'd definitely go and see them if I had a V8 Diesel.

No

in a heartbeat transforms it to an amazing level, nearly 3 ton and sub 7sec 0-60 and 140+ and the torque is superb mines on 129k now and still like a Swiss watch, a few other mods done to put it up a bit more to 370bhp ish really happy and wouldn't consider going to 4-4 unles its a 405  _____________________________________________________
