Economy remap?

[Andy_1]

I have a pd150 leon and even though I get decent mpg I'm wondering if it's possible to achieve more. Does anyone know if it's possible to get a remap to solely improve mpg? I don't wanna hike the power up and have to fork out for an uprated clutch etc.

 

[Andy_1]

I take it this doesn't exist then?

Most remaps will give you better MPG as the remap increases torque which means less fuel to give same performance hence more fuel for better performance, all you have to do is stay off the pedal...

 

[Andy_1]

Ah OK. I don't kick it's arse anyway so if I'm not caning it everywhere does that mean I wouldn't really need uprated parts like the clutch etc?

I think seatmann's tuner does fuel economy specific remaps and a tuner in Ballymena did them at one stage but my experience with the Ballymena tuner was not exactly wonderful and I would not be back to him.

OK thanks for the response people

Celtic Tuning offer economy remaps for your engine mate.

 

[Andy_1]

Nice one thanks. I've just emailed them there

What is your current mpg?

 

[Andy_1]

I somehow miscalculated before and was very optimistic. It's presently about 48mpg with mixed road driving. Would he nice to push it up a wee bit

You're not happy with 48mpg!!?

Is this a running cost issue? If so maybe consider a gas conversion to save some pennies?

 

[Andy_1]

Aye 48 is good but that's driving like my mum. Plus I've heard of people getting nearer 60 in the same car or golf equivalent

 

[Crafoo]

If they are then they will be doing no more than tickover revs to achieve a figure like that I would think.

60mpg is a hell of a lot so I'm not sure how accurate those figures would be.

i kinda specialise in tuning pd150 and can get these to get anywhere between 50-68mpg.

I like to test with £10 and £20 worth of fuel on my own pd150,

last £20 of fuel test I carried out which included too and from work and out n about normally - I got 190 miles with my latest development tune works out to be 58~ mpg over the £20 of diesel at £1.34 a litre

This is whilst being remapped for smoke free power, Egr deleted and decated.

Believe it or not I was getting 66mpg over 24miles before the decat was fitted when driving sensible, still have the picture to proof it.

 

[Crafoo]

Are you taking those figures from the trip computer?

 

[Adam4D]

Taken from Milage distance covered vs fuel put in.

Mfd mpg computer is pretty accurate tho because of how I've done the injection duration maps they are very accurate.
