Just thinking about an ECU remap

Thankfully I'm only about 30-40 mins away so not too bad.

I hope it gets sorted pretty quick as it feels like I'm driving a 1.6 diesel about.

Any update with the issue mate?

rashg60:
Been emailing them and calling them since the weekend - it transpires that they are closed for the week and will be re-opening on Monday 20th.

I'm being patient but I really hate driving the car at the moment. I just hope I'm not making the issue worse by continuing to driving it.

There's no odd noises or anything - it starts and drives perfect. Just the lack of power.

I'm hoping it is sorted out next week.

AJP:
Possibly limp mode, which is intended to keep things at safe (ie underpowered) levels when the ECU detects any of quite a few different faults.

Fingers crossed.

Update:

R-Tech did get back to me yesterday and advised I get it hooked up to check for any faults (why didn't I think of this!). Anyway I took it down to the local garage and they hooked it up and nothing was detected.

I was then advised by the garage owner to unplug the air flow sensor and take it for a spin. I did that and it drove much better, i.e. more power. I have since ordered a new air flow sensor, which should be fitted this evening.

Other than that R-Tech are saying change the Diverter Valve - is this something I can do at home? Should I go for the standard one or an upgraded one?
