Re map horrors

[Just us on Tour]

Hi All
I am thinking of have my fiat 2021 fiat 2.2 with the 9 speed auto re mapped . I hear various positive things about the benefits of re mapping .
Has anyone had any nightmares or issues after they have had their van re mapped ?

None whatsoever, used Celtic Tuning on the drive but it was a six speed manual box

Celtic did my previous B544 2.3 130bhp, certainly made it an easier dive on our Highland hills.

Not something I’ve ever considered and never will, our 150 2.3 is more than enough and our previous 130 was alright.
Increasing the fuel going through is the only way power is increased and that can have adverse affect on the rest of the system.
My friends Landrover was done and whilst it was a little more powerful it was also very sooty.

Had our Peugeot Boxer 2.2 remapped 6 years ago with a Quantum remap, and no problems associated with it since then.
There are the usual unsubstantiated "my mate down the pub said" problems like shortening the life of the clutch, but these would be down to poor driving style.

Just wondering why you'd need it remapped we have the 2.2 with 180hp 9spd and it goes brilliantly much better than our older 2.3one?

I’ve had the 2014 Boxer remapped. Better torque. Pulls better and is more economical.

Well worth the cost.

Hi MichaelT
We have the 160 bhp and we tow a small car .
I find it a bit underpowered on steep hills. I so wish I had gone for the 180 bhp. I am told it’s the same engine but just mapped differently??
May I ask what year your is ? There are so many engines in these I get confused. I think mine being a 21 was the last run out before the series 8.
Incidentally fiat have dropped the 160 bhp now I believe you can only get 120, 140 Or the 180 bhp .

This is a common misconception. They are the same engine but they are more than just remapped.

I've always thought the whole industry a bit of smoke and mirror. I wonder how much the effect of a remap is just a placebo, someone tells you it will be better, charges you loads of money and you convince yourself it is. You really believe it. You believe it so much, you'll rush on here to tell me I'm Sooo wrong

Just like someone I know, a sensible and intelligent chap who, no matter what I said, insisted he got an extra 5 to 10 mpg by aligning fuel molecules by using some expensive special earth magnets he bought clamped around his fuel line. ..

I too don't understand why anyone would want the new 2.2 remapping.

Maybe to reduce the power I'm always going too fast in mine.

It's 2024 on a carthago compactline at 4t.

Beautiful van …..I am turning green with envy . We love the Carthago! We may even treat ourselves . It would have to be the 180 bhp though
