Is there any way of knowing if the car has a map on it without doing a dyno-run? Compared to my other J this one seems to be faster.

Same engines I take it? What have you been driving in between cars?

Exactly the same, ive had that fiat 500 L and a couple of new corsa's. I know that I haven't had an Astra for a couple of weeks but it definitely accelerates a heck of a lot faster. My mate couldn't keep up with me where he used to be able to on the other J

I was going to say maybe it's just because you've not driven it for a while but seeing as there's another factor, maybe it's been tinkered with by the previous owner. I know mine had.

I've not had the v5 yet with his details, but will certainly send a letter when I get it

New owner of my Focus contacted me via Facebook. I found his message in the 'others' folder

@Rusty2009 my car spits out white smoke when the turbo kicks in. Not a lot but it's visible, is that a sign of a remap?
Re-map? - Rusty2009 - 20:th-Jan-2016
No mate my old zaffy did that and it hadn't be mapped

Hmm is it a bad thing? The white smoke I mean
Re-map? - Rusty2009 - 21:st-Jan-2016
I had it checked and was told it was fine

RE: Re-map? - Bloopeta - 21:st-Jan-2016
Is it white smoke? Or steam??
Re-map? - Tonto - 21:st-Jan-2016
Umm...
Smoke at first but goes away once warmed up a few mins.

If its smoke, sounds like burning oil :/ if its steam, thats normal, especially this time of year as its cold
Re-map? - Tonto - 21:st-Jan-2016
Hmm may just be steam but I assumed smoke with it being a diesel.
