2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Manual Java Black

As pete said they really dont like warranty claims when a map is done - as a firend found out; but also if you dont tell them they dont know Wink

The other thing with warranty and land rover is the arguement of what is a fit for purpose. EG: a roof rack designed to fit the defender, by a reputable brand, in a way that land rover would have their own, should be the same as genuine one - unless they state NO aftermarket kit must be fitted.

To link this to your example, i seem to recall that there is a specific NO to remaps.

But remember there will always be the fit for purpose & reasonable use arguement to complicate matters Big Cry

How long did it take for your Autologic map to cause you problems ?

Was it problematic as soon as it was programmed or did it develop after some driving time.

Im just cusious to hear about all problems on this new model of car, im getting a bit info geeky over them lol

Regards Pete

Was only in about a week. To be fair to the guy who installed it he did alot of leg work for me to get to the cause of the problem . I am now led to believe, that Autologic tune was not the problem but the Common Rail System. Was just more obvious when the tune went in. Pete have you come across this in any of the vehicles you have tuned ?

Having said that the engine warning light has not come on since the tune was removed !!

Have to try and convince my local dealer now that there is something up now as its only noticeable now and again .

Ive seen many problems on this car even in standard form.

All sorts of problems from injector pump calibration missing to loss of injector codes.

You may just have been unlucky with the generic type tune of your car and itjust did not like it for some reason.

If your ever over in the UK in my part of the counrty for a few days ill install my map and give you a sample test to see if we can find the answer to your particular problem.

Regards Pete

Pete,

Car back at the Dealer for warranty work , they say my running problems were as a result of a faulty fuel switch.
So reckon that was the cause of problems I was having with the Autologic Tune. To be fair to Autologic they did suggest that this might be the case.

Hope to reinstall the tune now and I will be on to you for EGR blanking plate and decat exhaust .
