    The garage have called me.  It was the starter motor.  Apparently it was full of water..? They’re not sure how it happened but as it’s an ecoboost I’ve asked them to check the cooling s

  • There's never a sale, they are a bunch off rip of merchants that everyone thinks is great lol.

  • And has the remap been on a while? They are a very reliable company, very little negative feedback. If the remap is to blame then get in touch with them and they will be able to rectify it, maybe se

If u have a code reader you could try and clear them. If not and you have a spanner disconnect the battery and touch both lugs together for 5 seconds to drain all power in car. Then replace lugs. Live first. Hopefully this may give u time get home

So the bluefin appears to have knackered my car?

I can get it reflashed at my local ford dealer but it will take a few days minimum I suspect. 

I thought bluefin was meant to be reliable and safe etc?

Do you have roadside assistance? They may be able to clear the codes and see if that helps.

In the meantime I would remove all evidence of the remap

They do have a good rep, few members have them on here

Yeah recovery is on route. They’re not the best. Normally a basic toolkit and a tow truck. That’s it. I suspect they won’t be able to clear it. 

I’ve removed the bluefin already. It’s back to normal now.

Caused me real problems and it’s freezing.

I'd be very surprised if the Bluefin remap has done any harm, they've been around years and have been providing remaps for virtually all Ford engines for donkeys years.

It seems odd this would just happen though and that link provided above suggests it may be linked to a reflash and that applying the reflash after the sync caused the problem again. 

Do you know what else could cause this problem?

Disconnect it and reconnect it?

Has the car been in the garage recently?

No. Nothing. Not since I bought it around 8 months ago. Approved from a ford dealership.

Yeah but toutch the wire lugs together for 5 secs or so to give the car enough time to drain all power everywhere. Yes then re connect

How Long bluefin been on

And has the remap been on a while?

They are a very reliable company, very little negative feedback. If the remap is to blame then get in touch with them and they will be able to rectify it, maybe send a new map or something

Around 4 or 5 months. Since the summer anyway. 

I’m not sure how I’d know what’s caused it. I was just going off the quoted post above. 

What about if there was a issue before the map, and this has made it come alive (so to speak)
