Injectors changed van seems slower....

Postby Tranbomk7 » Tue Mar 17, 2020 10:09 pm

Hi all new to this I have a mk7 2.2 fwd 85hp transit recently had some work done at a ford specialist garage near me. Was running horrid sent it in and they updated the software pump learn etc had to have 4 new injectors as none of them had the codes printed on them. Runs lovely but it topped out at 70mph tonight and before it went well let's just say it was doing 70mph+ it's defently not as nippy as it was feels some what restricted. So before I get back to the garage is this normal? Or may it have been remapped before I owned it and it got cleared when they updated it? Or were the injectors oversized? It did use to belt out a hell of alot of black smoke,seems to be clean as a whistle now. Cheers.

When they updated the software, they may have set the speed limiter to 70mph. There's usually a few speed limiter settings, including off..! Updating shouldn't affect any mapping it may have had.
