toyota aurus 1.6 petrol - poor performance - brightspark

has anone used black code remaping to improve the performance on an aurus? does remaping work? will it affect my guarentee (4years left) ?

the car has no acceleration and any slight incline means changing down 2 gears and lots of throttle to maintain 50mph my dealer says he will not look at the car if the engine management light is not on

No point remapping a naturally aspirated petrol-there's really very little gain to be found. Diesels run lean and are turbo charged so remapping can increase boost and fuelling.

If you need 'lots of throttle' to maintain 50mph something is very wrong. it seems unlikely on a new Toyota, but has the cat or silencer collapsed? Get an assistant to blip the throttle while you hold your hand over the tail pipe-the exhaust gas should exit fairly briskly. If the exhaust gas wafts out like exhaled cigarette smoke, that might indicate a blockage. Most other faults should trigger EMLs.

It may be worth taking it to a different Toyota dealer - 2 dealers about 15 miles apart in my area are chalk and cheese in their response to customer problems.

This could be a simple fix- take it to a good garage. There is some around.
