General Re-Mapping of 1.3 Multijet

no problem i dont mind it being one of the first to be remapped and its all postive so far, if im in the bournmouth area in the 500 i give you a blast and a remap will follow shortly thats for sure :D:D:D
 
Just to add on the subject of why the 1.3MJ has a lower output in the 500 than in other cars, gearbox questions not withstanding, I think must be at least influenced by marketing.

As the diesel and the 1.4 are the same price, no-one would buy the 1.4 if the diesel was faster as well as using 50% less fuel. But without a turbo there probably isn't much more to squeeze from that motor, which would also put the price up quite a bit and in any case venture into Arbarth teritory.

Just my reckoning :)
