Greetings from the Philippines,

*it winds me up that these "re-mappers" delete codes and muck up live data* Please do not paint all remappers with the same brush. As in all trades, we will get the good and bad, but generalizing in my view is wrong.

Yes, as another string to my bow, I used to remap vehicles generally for performance and economy. All my maps were professionally produced, tried and tested. I very rarely had a problem and if I did, it was put right immediately. I also got involved with a few DPF deletes. And always at the request of the customer. I always explained that at the time it was no problem with current MOT tests but I could not guarantee the future. The stock answer I got was to proceed with the MAP delete, and the future would take care of itself. The end result was a better driving car and the customer was saving a lot of money.

However, in saying all that, I do feel sorry for the customer who unwittingly buys a DPF delete car. His first MOT with the vehicle can bring a nasty surprise and his wallet will be hit hard. There must be thousands of these cars about. But in my experience, most customers with a remapped, DPF deleted car advertise that fact as a selling point. So the new owner is generally aware.

Regards to all

Pete M
