2016 120bhp BlueHDi Remap

[Jayymes]

Hello!

Just picked up a 2016 DS3 and I’m loving it, the whole car feels alive and is great fun to drive. I’m still figuring out where 3rd gear loses power because it just doesn’t stop heh. I’ve been browsing the forum and a lot of people have been recommending SP Tuning and it turns out he is 20 minutes from me, so I, just wondering what kind of performance gains I can expect? and thoughts on DPF delete?

thanks

Hi and welcome to the club and forum. I've got a 115 eHDi and went to Jamie@SPTuning in October after owning my DS3 for 2 years and I truly wish I had done it earlier, as its now around 145. The difference is amazing and he is defo the goto man for remaps and all things DS3. DeeKayEcks has the 120 diesel version and his is now about 153bhp now. The torque increase is also brilliant.

Loads of of members from around the country go to Jamie (it was over a 2 hour drive for me) for all sorts of mods and fixes for all different engines.

As for a DPF delete, I personally wouldn't, as the new MOT rules have changed for this year and they are supposed to be hot on anything that has changed the DPF from its original state, obvs including a delete. But hey if you take it off and put it back on again, just before the MOT, so it passes and then take it off again - all good!!

That sounds brilliant! What kind of difference does it have mid range?

That's where the difference is biggest. Check out the before and after graph at SP Tuning in my thread:

I’m booked in tomorrow at 9:30! I’ll report back at the end of the day with my thoughts. very excited

So then Jayymes , tell us!! How was your visit to Jamie@SPTuning and how you finding the difference after the remap??

Hello!

Sorry for the late reply, Jamie was great and very informative, he got the car running about 145bhp off the top of my head and around 355nm. Very happy with the result and the feel of the car, it pulls like a train, he did tell me however that my car had a turbo actuator fault code, this meant we could only run it up to 4000rpm before it went into limp home mode. Luckily it is under warranty so I drove it straight to the trade centre to have it repaired but I will hopefully have it back today.

Overall I would highly recommend and for the short time I could drive the car (about an hour) it was a blast.

Hope they didn't overwrite your new map!

Not sure whether to get this done (Remap) as I don't use my DS3 to race around nowadays.

[Jayymes]

I got it back today around 5, and they definitely didn’t overwrite it! Putting your foot down in 2nd gear really plants you in your seat. Very happy with it I’ve been driving it around the lanes all of today!

What DS3 do you have Chris?

I'd give him a ring anyway just to see if he could? He could probably take it up to 140, you would notice a massive difference. Either way at some point I would get it done

Come on Chris!! You know it makes sense pal. You've had remapped DS3's before!! Mine runs so so so smooth since Jamie got his mits on it!!

Did you ring him on the off chance he could fit you in?

[Jamie@SPTuning]

Lols....me and Chris go way back, way before time was even thought of haha
If your coming CBlue I’ll having the kettle and heating on for you

Yes James cars had a turbo actuator feedback position fault. It gave us limp mode on the pre dyno runs right at the the top end of the revs.
We still managed to get the remap on and running well.
Armed with a diagnostic printout of the fault James sent the car for repair under warranty.

As we left we just decided to take it straight there, so we just bombed it down and got it into limp mode as we arrived, so far it seems as though the problem has been fixed, but I will give it another try on friday to make sure.

Even thought about calling James (SPTuning) as I trundling up the M1 this morning. Nope, didn't tho.

Decided to get the Dealer Annual service outta the way end of January first. Think it may be a pricey one with ad blue and all that (Don't comprendi diesels)

Should be back Magna over next couple months, so will plan ahead .

Yes, James, I still remember the earplugs on the dashboard, when you first heard my Bastuck exhaust. LOL
