What was it like before you removed the engine components and had it tuned?

I would email Pete at BAS and tell him what mods you have done since first purchasing the remap. The throttle lag/latency can be fixed in the tune as Gary did that with my Alive tune. It sounds as though you have some flat spots which seem to be more noticeable now with the changes you have done to the exhaust system. All of it is fixable by redoing the remap file so drop BAS an email with everything you have changed and I'm sure he will get on to it.

As stated in previous threads....

Remaps are produced for certain vehicle configurations, should you alter these configurations for example with larger intercooler, decat pipe, or big bore exhaust etc. unless the map (be it original or otherwise) is configured for your enhancements there is a danger it will throw the map out and your vehicle will not operate correctly and or run like a bag of spanners.

It could of course also be something simple like a MAF sensor or EGR Valve As suggented in your case BAS would be my first port of call. Running rough on the standard tune I would look at what you have 'tweaked' since then or a component failure. Good luck!

what I´m trying to understand is if this is a "standard" flaw on td4´s or a particular case in mine, as far as I know the maps where made for the changes I have in my vehicle. Regards, Paulo Fontes

In my experience it is most definately NOT a standard flaw on TD4s. Mine ran 'quite sweet' as standard and the only flatspot is when I hit the limiter! Mine had a remap two years or so ago and now runs 'sweet as a nut' with no flatspots at all! There have been historical issues with maps and flatspots but anyone 'worth their salt' in the business of providing remaps will tell you that feedback is welcomed and it is in their best interests to produce as near 'perfect a map' as you desire. I think personally your problems are akin to your vehicle as flatspots do not appear to be the norm on TD4s. I've had three different ones on loan and not had any problems with any of them over the last three years plus of ownership!

Again good luck in ironing out your flatspot! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Surely if a spot is flat, ironing it is the last thing you'd want to do?

Anyway I don't think any electronically controlled turbo-diesel is ever going to have the instant response of a big petrol engine, even if they do have similar torque figures. Most of that torque is reliant on the turbo which always introduces some kind of a delay (unless you go for a silly sized one, which could give you instant response but no top end).

I don´t know if I explained myself very good, it´s not on normal use, it´s driving the car flat out off road.
It´s road manners are impeccable.


What I´m saying it´s for example reeving 2 gear as much as possible and changing to 3 as fast as possible, almost without decelerating.

Good point! Well presented! Shall we say, fluffing up, inflating, encouraging and coaxing skyward, or just reaching a crescendo then?

I'm not sure I'd drive flat out off road though so maybe that's why.
