Had my Leon FR PD150 revo remapped today.....not as good as expected :( NOW WITH LOGS

[Bondiblu]

Who did you say did the tuning? Does it smoke? I don't like it lol

 

[daiski]

if i was you i'd go back and see them in the week cause that sucks , bet it cost a few shiney pennys to

this might be totally dumb ass question but could it be the fuel grade ? like i mean asda's on instead off shells own etc? never had a diesel car

 

[cleverspoon]

Might give them a ring, it doesnt smoke much, it seems to smoke less after the map.

 

[Bondiblu]

In my opinion, it's not been remapped correctly, though trying to puzzle it together is hard without knowing how the injector durations have been modified, as hitting a few diagnostic limits which means you can't see what's happening past them.

The torque limiter has been disabled as such and running on MAF based limit, and requested pressure is low for the amount of fueling and thus overshooting requested and resting on one of the boost limiter, without this limiter it'd be creeping up, I wouldn't say its bad in this case though because IMO it should be requesting more anyway.

It would be nice to set it back to stock and run some logs, they might mean something then.

I wouldn't rule out a boost leak especially if you say it's smoking less after the Map.

This is just my opinion though.........

Thanks for the info....im hoing to ring the garage later, its just annoying because theyre an hours drive away....and i work mon to fri.

 

[cleverspoon]

Is there a measuring block for fuel injection i can log?

If less smoke its not a boost leak at fault.
The maff logs carried out read all ok so maff not faulty.

170bhp is defo low for a stage 1map should be about 185 lowest really and 195 max

Fuel could be at fault but not due to the grade because that wouldn't make any diffrance. But when was it last services ie is the fuel filter blocked ??? Qwick easy cheep cheak
I'd take it back to the mapper.

 

[cleverspoon]

Oil service was last jun about 6k ago, fuel filter (is that the silver can in left of engine bay with 4hoses?) looks new and was supposodly replaced not long before i got the car about 10k miles ago.

I think a return trip to the garage is in order.....may have to take day off work....bloody car!!!!

Note that the data block info is for petrol engines. I'm not sure what the differences are for diesels, and haven't been able to find a list yet . . .

 

[mk4 cupra]

Yep that's the fuel filter if its not been changed for 10k for sure it's defo due changeing and the fuel is ruled out

 

[cleverspoon]

Ok ill get the fuel filter changed asap then see if i notice any diff, is it worth using an injector cleaner additive.....if so which is the best?

 

[Muttley]

Update on measuring blocks: it looks like the TDI engines differ much more than the petrol engines in the measuring block list. Here's a link Uwe Ross posted a few years ago which may be a starting point:

Thanks mutley!!!! Ill try fuel filter....then see if any different (perhaps it might as its not producing at higher rpm where high fuel flow would be req??) fingers crossed!!

i think people expect a little too much because of the things that have been said on the forum or in my case i did about how good a remapped pd150 is there not as good as they are made out to be after a remap.
yeah you can feel the difference but not like you can on a 20vt.

I've had both and mapped both. You are wrong.

 

[putridmocha]

you should notice a huge difference on a stage 1 pd150 to standard

 

[cupra.al]

I've had both and mapped both. You are wrong.

thats a matter of opinion then because i too have had both.

 

[putridmocha]

thats a matter of opinion then because i too have had both.

So have I and you're talking rubbish pal
Were comparing stages not petrol vs diesel

 

[TomWhite]

thats a matter of opinion then because i too have had both.

So a 40bhp and 80ft/lb increase feels less noticeable in a diesel to petrol yeah? Although you gain pretty much the same figures from a stage 1 map on petrol and diesel? Makes sense lol

 

[cupra.al]

what im saying is you notice a huge difference with both but for me it was more so the 20vt than it was the diesel.
