Stantheman 1234 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi everybody, I've just bought a mk 3, 1.6cc, it feels a bit sluggish when I accelerate, is it worth remapping this car ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColW Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Depending on what engine you have it might be worth checking if there are any software updates for the pcm with ford first. Mine is a 2011 1.6 ti-vct engine and when I got it a couple of years ago it didn't feel as powerful as my old mk1 1.6 even though it was going up from 100hp to 125hp. I had issues with occasional stalling when pulling up at lights and the tickover was a bit random around 750 rpm. I read on here that the software update levelled off the tickover around 850rpm and after I had all modules updated it stopped the stalling problem and felt a lot more powerful. You will have to get it booked in at a ford dealer to get the updates done but you may be able to get the updates done as part of a ford service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
