Going back to the OEM 182 map

So when I bought my 182 I was told it had a few things done to it including a 'remap'. No details were given about what remap it was exactly and having now lived with the car I can confirm it's s**t and makes the car undriveable in slow or stop start traffic. So my question is what's the easiest way of going back to the OEM setup as I was more than happy with it when I owned my Trophy and should it be a simple case of just being able to re-write the new map back on despite it already being fiddled with?

As you're in Kent I'd give engine dynamics a call in Essex. They do Clio maps at £200 I think.

Could be timing related though. Sounds that way.

You want to have a look at EFi Parts, They can unlock ECU's that have been mapped already and they have some good prices also for standard and slightly modded cars.

i've seen plenty that have 'been mapped but no proof' and it's backed up with a 'cammed lumpy idle'

pissed a few people off when i've got it running nice and smooth and it's totally standard :wink:

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, will get in touch with both and see what they say. Something's definitely been done to it as in every other situation it's great and feels very strong it's just the low speed driving that lets it down so maybe just that aspect could be tweeked by someone come the time.

Sounds like most clios then, they are pretty gutless below 5k lol.

Badly timed is my guess
