What was the new bhp?

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. 

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.
