I love it, it has really brought the PUMA to life. It is hard to appreciate the driveability (if that’s a word) that this map has brought. The difference is noticeable as soon as you let the clutch out.

Power increase is right across the rev range and very very smooth.

I regularly tow a 2t off road van and the improvements here are what I was after and I am not disappointed.

Does the PUMA need it.... no, but it so so much better with it.

increase is about 80-90NM and 30-40KW.

(I replaced the intercooler at the same time) (De-cat pipe to follow soon)

Drover,

Can you recall the approx cost of the Remap ?

Thanks

Phoenix, if you're a member of Defender2.net there is a discount. IIRC with UPS 3-day shipping the total was 460pounds or so.

Rehashing an old thread I know, but it's the closest thread I can find to what I want.

How many clicks do you get till your fuel light comes on as an average? Both with and without remap if you can. Mine has no mods at all for the motor, and has just had a new pump and injectors installed. I have RTT and a Roof Rack on.
I see Alan gets 530 whilst towing and loaded. Is every body else similar to this, or different?

Cheers guys.

I get about 10.5/100 around town with some crap in the back but no beer in the Engels.

That increases to 13/100 when towing our small van of around 1.7t. It has a BAS remap and that works well when towing which is what I wanted it for.

PS. I've never let the fuel light come on so couldn't say how many kays I do until it does.

Mine is stock & I get just over 600km when the light comes on.

Usage since new.... and yes, I have noticed the improvement after a good tow...

about the same as an isuzu, but more than a 300 dti

**mark_coffey** · 12th July 2014, 08:33 PM

I have a 2008 130, lucky to get 440km before the light comes on, has been as low as 370 towing. It really hasn't changed from new, just clocked 135000kms

**Chops** · 12th July 2014, 09:43 PM

Cool stuff guys, thanks so much.

Your figures confirm what I initially thought.

Essentially, the 600 marks sort of average, which is what I was getting for the first 12K until they swapped out the ECU and injectors. Then I was getting around the 530 mark. Not good, but thought it was due to putting on the rack etc when I finally got it home.

So they've swapped out the injectors and fuel pump, and the ECU again at 80K, and now I'm getting 450. But I'll confirm that when I get back to Melb tomorrow :-/

Mark, I'd be looking into your figures I think. Are you running smaller diameter wheels at all?
