Remapping the Fiesta....

[Craig-o]

Right, posted it up in this section as there is no "other marques" section at the mo.

I will firstly begin with the fact that I am not looking to make it any faster, so no need for everyone to jump on the bandwagon and shout about how pointless trying to get power out of it is . The reason I'm asking is that the word is your fuel economy also rises when remapped (sensible map of course) along with the slight power/torque increase.

What concerns me is:

a) Does anyone know if having it remapped would put strain on the internals, as I imagine the 1.4tdci lump isn't designed to take much more power than what it produces as standard.

b) Would the increase in MPG be even noticeable? The car is extremely frugal as it is....so justifying a £200+ remap for 1 extra mpg is not really worth it.

c) Or realistically am I likely to lose MPG?

I know you guys probably dont have a great deal of experience with this engine but if anyone has any info on it for me it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
