Ford Focus Remap

Featured Replies

Hi ive just had a remap done on my 1.6 tdci focus [110]

Ive just taken car out there doesnt seem to be the same

power the turbo doesnt seem to be kicking in

and car wont pull as good as it use to does it take a while

for car to learn whilst driving or should it be an instant change

cheers jason



take straight back,that is totally opposite of what a remap surpose to do

Yeah, should be a notably improvement out of the door, did you have the dpf removed as well?

Cheers mate i thought so

Yes had dpf removed and got dpf and egr delete as well as getting remap

I went out tonight expecting car to be loads more responsive

First thing to noticed is that first gear is largely redundant and it should pull like a train right through 2-3k, 2.8k delivers about 90mph, if you have an elm 327 device you can use for scan to monitor the car, you might expect about 280Nm of peak torque, 36psi MAP. All in all you should notice it right away, pop it in third and accelerate from 20 to as fast as you can, feel any different?. It'll only be about 130 and that's assuming the engine is in good nick, so don't expect to be rolling wheel to wheel with mercs or anything

Which remap is it ?

What are the new figures supposed to be ?

Any decent remap should be instantly noticeable

i dont no what remap it is

i was gonna just get dpf and egr delete but was told

remap would make car more powerful and have better mpg

To be honest i normally look on line before i get anything like this done

but didnt bother this time so didnt realise there was different remaps

All i no is we had to drop car off at the garage the night before so

whoever they got in to do it could check ecu and then they send off some where and get an email back

then yesterday he came back and did the actual remap

Hi guys had car back in to garage last week

and had 2 faults low fuel pressure and boost pressure problem 

was told could be fuel filter so had it booked in and got new oil and filters

now they saying code is just boost pressure problem

I got the misses to drive down the road while i watched couldnt believe

the amount of black smoke coming out of it any ideas what could cause this 

would it be more to do with dpf removal or the remap or something not related at all89

cheers in advance for any help

Jason

Crap remap, probably wrong map for that car. Tell em to sort it before the engine is damaged. The garages problem

Sounds like you've got a major boost leak...  Garage probably broke the boost pipe while removing DPF tbh, either that or didn't tighten the jubilee clips...

Cheers for replies 

Ive just been out and checked boost pipe the one that connects to the metal

pipe under the engine cover, the clips were tight and couldnt see damage to pipe  

The pipe that goes from the mass airflow sensor wasnt clipped together properly 

so was loose but still in place im going to nip out in a bit and see if that makes 

any difference

Been out in the car and no difference

Think i was clutching at straws

When dpf was blocked a code came up for that but non of the new codes

for low fuel pressure or turbo pressure was in the memory 

So would this mean these codes are definitely a problem from work that has been done

Hi, sorry I'm here to see what happens as I'm in the process of doing this, any updates and is it fixed?

Yes mate managed to get home early on weds so had a good look 

around and found a split on boost pipe on drivers side i tried to 

tape it up but was a bit tight to get on properly

Car does drive better but still a fair bit of black smoke 

Hopefully new pipe will sort it out
