I've recently had my whole car reprogrammed and I've noticed that it doesn't seem as 'quick'. So I was wondering if its possible for the ECU to be programmed over?

The dealers have my car at the moment but, I've asked them to look into the fact it doesnt seem to have as much power anymore and my FC had increased.

I did just have the brakes changed so it could be something to do with that - but I'll see if the dealer comes up with anything.

If your car was remapped prior to the update then this will be lost, you will need it remapped again. I am pretty sure when they update the software it will wipe any custom mapping.

I thought that was the case.

I'll have to contact Chipped UK and get this booked in.

Thanks.

Jason will sort you out no problem........I used him for my 320d map and had to go back a couple of times

How much did he charge you out of interest ?

I got charged ?200 I think (if it was more it was only like ?280) - Do you have his contact details by any chance?

Did he charge you for putting the map back in place?

Is there anyway of confirming that the ECU remap has been wiped over? Either this last software update has something in it, or my car seems to be driving a lot better at higher speeds and the turbo dump valve is louder.


(This seems to happen with my Velocity unit on or off - but when its on, it just happens more)

only if the engine module is reprogrammed, will the car need to be reflashed.

Ok thanks for that - Im sure that the map has been wiped since there is no power under 1.5k RPM - my car's going to be BMW to have a look at everything again.

My dealer reprogrammed my idrive system. Did they wipe out my DINAN? If so, I gotta go back and get a DINAN Stage 2 tune then/
