Fuel economy after a remap on a Mk2 FR TDi

[Jase7]

All, at the moment on my 06 FR TDi i'm getting between 43-47 mpg (which is fine by me ) If i was to get a remap, in all honesty will that figure reduce much?

I really quite fancy the extra torque, but I can live without it if subsequently my economy will reduce greatly.

Cheers

HI Jase, sorry no idea about after a remap but wondered how many miles you have done?

 

[P-torque.co.uk]

All the 170pd's we have mapped so far see a slight improvement in MPG. Usually 2- 3 +

This is due to optimised injection, and improved torque. More torque = less load and therefore less injection

 

[Jase7]

Ok thanks for that, sounds good Is that the case with all tuning companies? I would seriously consider using you guys at p-torque but i'm in Hertfordshire so Wolverhampton is a bit too far away!

Cheers
Jase

My car has done 16k miles mate.

Most ECU upgrades should result in better economy if they have been done well

Maybe I can tempt you with the current group buy?

Ok i've put my name down on the forum, i'll go for it if we get the good group discount. I've heard good things about you so why not eh? You only live once!

Is there a thread about this (that i'm too lazy (busy) to search for, sorry) on these forums?

Just wondering how you got round any DPF/dodgy DMF (flywheel) problems that some people have had in the past with remaps.

We have been tuning these 1 month after the release of the 170PD's. To date no issues at all. P-Torque were one of the first companies to be tuning them.

Many tuners struggled with these engines, but we worked to ensure it was perfect first time.

Flywheel problems were due to faults as stock, not map related

32.6mpg for me ....... but it was going rather fast at the time

Is yours mapped then? What MPG figures do you usually see? (Not driving rapidly that is! )

Usually see 39 - 42 mpg .... before and after ... so no difference really.

Revo ...... bloody quick.!

Rolling road soon to find out how its doing

Mine's had a CC remap for a while and I also get about 39-42 which is about the same as I got before the remap. Big difference in performance but none in MPG.

So what your saying my car must be injecting a lot less diesel then a stock item ?

Hi!

No, not a lot less. In places there is more injection than required.

Hi, I have had mine fitted with a P-box from new so I cant tell you about any improvements or not in fuel consumsion. I am getting 35mpg on average with 95% of this in town and I do drive hard i.e front tyres shot less than 6.5K. You will love the extra power but some guys say they are getting 180 bhp + standard.
Is it worth checking yours first to see what the gains will be? Only down side will getting grip as the extra torque will cause the front wheels to spin, although you dont have to use all of it. Looking at getting a LSD to esure the power gets on to the road.
