hey guys i have a 530d 2005 e60. I had it remapped a few months ago and it was working great. A month later i was driving in the motorway and decided to push the pedal down to "kick-down". As it hit 4000rpm it just it got stuck at that rev meter and the car was moving at constant speed. This problem started occuring more frequently and randomly. I called up the guy who remapped my car and he said there might be too much of a boost on the turbo so he reprogrammed it to push in less pressure to it. Drove it again and now it seems to be worse than before, and is even happeneing at lower rev, as low as 3000rpm. Has anyone experienced this before? this is really frustrating! do you think this could be a cause of the remap or possible something else like the mass airflow meter. Thanks guys

 

COuld it be electrical, as if the revs are being limited by the car for some reason??

 

i dont think so because after a certain rev it just goes flat but sometimes it does take it a bit further gradually. The symtoms do sound like a fault with the mass airflow meter, but isnt it a bit of a coincidence that the problem started occuring after the remap?

 

back to the mapper its down to him to sort it if it was ok before......

 

Who did the remap out of interest please ?

 

a guy in uxbridge called Dave. He comes to you and does it, like a mobile service. Apperabtly he's done a lot of these cars and never had a problem

 

have you had the remap removed and seen if the car is then ok?

 

getting that done today, we'll see how that goes

 

if your uxbridge way, you should go to "torque of the devil" (power engineering) and at the rear of super chips.

 

cheers ill take a look at it
