JB thanks for the link,
These numbers look good https://www.celtictuning.co.uk/services/performance-stats/suzuki/sx4-s-cross-2013/diesel/1-6-ddis-118-bhp-2013/stage-1
Is it legitimate when people say that you get better mpg as well as more power/torque etc?
I'm in chigwell in essex.
I have a 2014 Suzuki s-cross 1.6 turbo diesel and a ph2 clio 172
The suzuki is the main one i want done really. Its only done 5000 miles but it feels terrible fueling wise. Seems to be loads of lag and just feels soft.
Seeing the mapper marketing as MORE POWER LESS...
So what makes the standard map so terrible that a guy can just come to my house and upload a generic map that will give me 40hp more on my suzuki diesel?
i think if anything this information makes it even more of a minefield. Filtering out the good mappers from the not so good.
At a basic level, what am i looking for in a mapper for both my cars and what can i expect from the cars afterwards?
I'm not expressly intent on chasing numbers but i like...
Why do they pitch it as "Better fuel consumption" "increases power" "increases torque" etc
How the hell can that be certain when all cars are operating in different environments?
Uploading a generic map is hardly ideal right?
Are standard oem maps that far out that a generic map can do a much...
Hi all,
I have been looking around for a remapping centre (Mainly for my 2014 Suzuki s-cross Diesel) but also for the clio. I have found so many companies saying they come out to you to map the car?
I have been away from the modded car scene for a while and i cant get my head around how that...
Dropped into limp mode again today. Turned it off and on again and it cleared. Orange engine light is still on.
Can anyone recommend a particular Diagnostic? Ebay has loads of obd-2 scanners but dont want to waste the money
Hi all,
Since i got my 172 i have had it drop into limp mode twice. Each time i have switched off and restarted and its been fine again.
Last night i had it drop into limp mode, EML light came on and the little rectangle light with the heart rate monitor looking symbol.
I switched off and...
Car is back together and not creaking and knocking anymore. Wishobone bushes were dry
It hasnt put the ABS light on though.
Car feels a bit more precise in the steering department with two new ball joints on it
I've still got the disc and caliper attached so it's heavy ha ha
What's actually behind that gaitor that I'm trying to line up?
Just so I can get an idea of what I'm trying to achieve
Hi lads and lasses.
Only had my 172 for 2 weeks. Slowly changing bits and pieces. Just gone to change the n/s ball joint and when I undid the bolts holding it to the wishbone the hub swung down and out and I can't get it to line back up.I already had the shock removed to do the top mounts so I...
Had a look on ebay. Looks like I can get both inner tie rods and track rod ends for 39.95. Then I need two gaitors and the tie rod tool, does that sound right?
With the tools, there are loads of different ones on ebay from 40 quid to a tenner. They look to have different designs as well. Is this...
Hi all,
I got underneath the clio earlier and jacked it up on axle stands. I have found if i grab the passenger wheel at 9 and 3 and wiggle it, The inner tie rod is banging in and out. I made a video and posted it on the facebook group but it was removed for some reason?
Is this a job i can do...
Yeah it's purely for me to abuse. Drive 7 miles to work and back every day. I'm gonna sort whatever is clunking and banging (bushes and dampers?) but I'm not gonna throw performance parts at it. I'll try and tidy it up a bit too. If I get on with it I might buy a nicer/newer one and keep this as...
FINALLY picked up my 172 today. Bought it from my brother in law for the princely sum of £400. Its very tatty inside and out and it knocks and clunks when you drive it but i am really happy. For 400 quid i cant complain. Hes done a bit of work on it and its had a recon gearbox (Ive now got the...
Well I didn't buy that car.It was battered and when I went to drive it,it had a light on that looked like a coil light that you get in a diesel with a heart monitor symbol above it.The car wouldn't rev over 3k.seemed to be in some kind of limp mode
well I came home without it.It had loads of dents and scrapes that had been touched up but worst of all.....
I started it and there was a light on the dash that looked like the coil light that you get in a diesel with something next to it.I drove out that gate and started down the road.The car...
