Hello everyone.  My first post so be gentle with me.  Just purchased my first Jaguar, 2006 S Type Diesel.  Fair to say its early days but I'm impressed with her. 

One thing I'd like info on is remapping.  I understand that it can increase BHP and torque by about 25% but no one ever seems to publish how that manifests itself in real terms.  What's the increase in top speed, 0-60 and fuel economy? 

Happy to spend a little to get a bigger smile.   Your thoughts and opinions please.

Welcome to the club, Kevin.

I have had my s type Diesel for 7 years and it has treated me rather well.

I find that it is quite fast and quite economic.  I have not even thought about remapping.  A friend of mine [many years ago] had a remap and managed to blow the engine to scrap when showing off.   For that reason, I have found that the performance for my well looked after Jaguar is just as it left the factory.

But it is your choice.  Some have some have not,

Regards,

Peter.

Thanks Peter.  Sort of agree with you but certainly tempted.  If it ain't broke don't fix it is a good maxim.

I had mine re-mapped and it certainly made a big difference. The company I used in Wolverhampton allowed me to drive the car during the process and modified the map on the fly as I came up with suggestions. As a result, virtually eliminated turbo lag and the car was quite capable of taking on the V6 petrol S-Type, thrashing it for initial acceleration. Mid range improved out of all proportion in my view. Never had a reliability problem afterwards either.
