Guys, so far my THP is behaving itself since being remapped. Done a couple of hundred miles in it with no problems so far. I had a similar issue to Smudger where I had the car mapped at the Star City meet. I then put my car back to the dealer for a complimentary 1000 mile inspection and the ECU was restored to factory settings. I thought the car felt a bit flat and was a bit surprised when I went to the dyno day and discovered that the mapping had been wiped. Could be however that when the car went in to the dealers they applied some updates and therefore no problems with the remap.

sensors are operating beyond their referance values and therefore bringing on EML and going in limp mode.

Limp mode... never a good mode to be in when you want to go for a nice ride ;-) sorry... couldn't help myself ;0)

Dealer has just phoned to confirm there were errors in the auto adaptives and have downloaded lastest software updates (lost remap then). They are taking car on a 40 mile drive whilst plugged into computer to check full diagnostics and will get car back tomorrow. Looks like they could not read the remap as dave said they wouldn't, just need to meet up with him again to remap the car.

Does this mean they have found a fault but what does this mean? Why did it happen? Was there a problem with manufactures mapping and this is why they have updated it... will other cars have similar problems until they are updated?
cheers, mark

Hi smudger, sorry to hear about the problems.. I have had similar problem with my car since having the tuning box fitted same time as yours. The first day it was fine and no problems, but now every day since the engine light comes on and also the esp/asr fault light comes on for no reason when i have full throttle but not going very fast. When this happens the car has a safety feature which basically feels like it has turned the turbo off. It goes into safe mode where the car does not want to rev past 3000rpm. I have a ecu monitor and I reset the mil light and then turn engine on and its fine. I think you will find that maybe the remap has caused this, i know your car is petrol and mine is diesel but it is a coincidence that since getting them chipped that we have similar problems.
The problem is that citroen may see the remap or hopefully just reload it which would be better. Viezu in bromsgrove tried to day to remap my ecu as I have problems with the tuning box with the mil light and esp/asr fault but the ecu is too new and they can not remap it for 3 weeks (i have also removed the dpf and replaced the filter system) the cars is great and flys but is a real pain in the ass with the 'safe' mode and warnings.
Im guessing that citroen have put something in the ecu which does not like remaps. Your getting anti pollution fault and im getting asp/esr warnings with both of us with mil lights on. When these flash up the car is really slooooow until the mil light is reset via the odb port.
If citroen reset the mil light then drive it again the mil light may come on and they may see the ecu remap or best case scenario they just reload the ecu and all will be ok.
You may want a odb reader with the function to reset the mil in the future rather than taking it to citroen - these are quite cheap if you do it via a laptop or a self contained device. The vi monitor does these, but is not the cheapest as it does alot more also.

Let us know what happens.

cheers, mark

You have no bl**ding idea the computer was £1,000 + extra £14,000 for cables. Have driven car today and it seems still mapped, but Dave sorting mates car Monday so re-doing car anyway to be sure.
