my talisman was a 2007 Peugeot jtd and I had mine remapped here on my drive and yes it sure made a difference, now I have had my transit based hobby 2.2 tdci and I have had this one remapped and it goes like the proverbial s... off a shovel and I just cannot get less than 31 to the gallon out of it driving it in all sorts of speed, but not exceeding 65 overtaking, I think it does help driving with the cruise control on. Do it you will not be sorry, I can let you know the lad that came over my house to do it if you wish.

Thank you for the comments, I will get a remap done. I think your chap in Liverpool might charge a kings ransom to come to South Wales, but Thank you for the offer.

An old thread I know, but am hoping that Silverwood will read this and get back to me.
The Peugeot 2.8HDI he mentions he has in his van is fitted to an Autosleeper Symbol I'm interested in buying in the next couple of days.
I think I need something that has significantly more grunt than the 2 litre petrol or very tame 1.9 & 2.5 diesels the put in these Autosleeper panel-van conversions, and would like to get advised if this 2.8HDI is the boy... re-mapped or not.
Is it something that'll take steep alpine hair-pinned passes and tiresome long Autobahns in it's stride, yet still return decent 60 mph MPG.
Who knows what?
Are you out there Silverwood?

I did that harleyjohn, and got a couple of replies. I just hoped that silverwood might pick this one up... as he seems to have some specialist suss on this particular non-turbo 2.8HDI engine.
Will be looking at it tomorrow and taking it for a wee test-drive.

Not really worth remapping a non turbo engine. The real power benefit comes from increasing turbo boost pressure along with fuelling increase.
