Hello

Post by spawngti »

Hi, i'm the new owner of a siemens hdi 90 406 saloon lx. She's had a tough life, clocking almost 140,000 miles. I picked her up last week for just 500 pounds and ended up leaving her with the local hand car wash for the say as she was filthy!

Since then i havw attempted to find someone who would remap her, but as she isnt a bosch i have struggled.

So hi, hopefully i wont have too many issues during my ownership.

Pffff barely run in :wink:

I know people are looking into remapping the Siemens injection but I'm not sure how they're doing with it.

Hello and welcome! Honestly, 140k is nothing for these cars - look after it and it will do many, many more :)

Remember,before remaping,do serious service on the car,since the car has 140k and has seen its share of driving,some parts of the engine need refreshment.
