Thread: 2010 puma,help needed urgent please.

Ye sorry all for not getting back soon as.
B4WD,i had that ecu put back to standard and put it in ,ran for a while and on test drive it went 500mtrs then stopped again.
Spoke to Rover Tec and we arranged a guy to come with a Launch,lots of stuff happening with faults but seemd to be intermittant.
Then its found the CHT could be faulty as it shows running at 150c so shuts motor down,disconnect it and it all seems to run fine.
Orderd from Sydney and await to see.
If that int it im well ****ed,asked about running it without this sensor connected till i get somewhere and can afford to spend time and money.
Well knocked me confidence with these pumas,wish id never had the ecu upgraded cos i still state that it was fine before i took it into Perth.
Ps...should the fuel filter be replaced on a 40k service. ?
Thanks all,will check here more often and let you all know.

To be fair, I get customers Land Rovers remapped by Rovertech (and openly tell my customers who is doing it) and have never had an issue. Id guess most 2.4lt Defender pumas that have had a remap in Perth have been done by Rovertech (you will find they were the first to be doing it). Most issues Ive seen with remaps on the puma have been ones from the U.K

Personally the whole thing about setting it back to a standard remap before taking it to the dealer, really to me is asking for more issues. Every time a remap or reflash is done there is the potential for it to fail, get interrupted, or corrupted. It shouldnt be considered a willy nilly thing to chop and change every second. Any decent repairer with good knowledge and good diagnostic tools wont have an issue with a remap (if its a good one that has been done properly).

Do hope you get it sorted, and keep us upto date on progress.

P.S I change fuel filters on ALL diesels EVERY service (so 10K), I fail to understand anyone not doing this on ANY common rail diesels with the pressures they run.
