Thread: Restricted Performance.

Well I'd doubt it being the Traxide kit. However the Remapping is more likely the culprit. Ah the beauty of a D3 and a BAS remap, we can easily swap between them anywhere as long as you take the unit with you to help isolate the issue.
Do you have a fault code reader?
Where you using cruise control when the fault happened?

No fault code reader.
No cruise control.

Unfortunately I needed the remap done quickly and the one I went with was the only option.

I don't think the Traxide kit would have any affect either, just mentioning it because it was done recently.

I'm about to head into town now and will be coming home via the same hill without the trailer so will see what happens.

Cheers.

Why would you need to get a remap done quickly - BAS is always an option and in my view the best and as mentioned you can take it off and go back to original and later go back the the BAS map all in the comfort of your own car.

I also suspect it is the map you got - take it off and go back to your original map.

The remap was done quickly because I am moving interstate and things became a bit of a rush.
I possibly should have done more research but hey, it's done now.

If I have more issues I will look into the BAS remap.

As far as I am aware I don't have the ability to remove the map I had done so hopefully it gets me interstate with no issues.

Wish me luck

Markorjack - did you also get the Roo Systems exhaust installed? I'm wondering if their remap is appropriate if you still have the standard exhaust on... the restricted performance fault with remaps are usually from high EGTs after an extended hard run - like towing up a long hill at high speed.

Roo Systems say their remap is safe... yeah, right.

I didn't do the exhaust, apparently if you do the chip they recommend the exhaust but for the remap it is not required.

They did tell me it was unusual as the few faults they have encountered have brought up an engine fault with the orange engine warning light, not just the red restricted performance triangle warning light.

To be honest, I was disappointed with the standard performance towing up hill.
With the remap, and not towing the performance is very noticeable.
If I get a fault towing uphill then I wonder if it was worth it.

I am towing a tandem 8x5 enclosed trailer that will be reasonably loaded, 3500k's in four days starting Monday which will be a pretty good test.

What happens if you get work/service work done and the original ECU software is reloaded - you loose your remap.

How's the D4 going so far Mark?
