Hi i'm Gavin from Torbay, Devon, UK.
I have a 206cc(wifes) and 307 2.0 HDi 90BHP RHY (green, nice!).
Recently had a turbo go kaput and had it repaired with a garage 270 miles away from home (was visiting sister). Took them 8 day's and cost me over half of the cars value. Have car back but Turbo is still not great but functioning for the minute.
Rather than taking it in to the stealership and paying £60 for the privilege I have invested in a Lexia-3/pp2000 kit.

Tecnical background is 8 years experience as electrical/avionics technician on aircraft,
This past year and a half I have been maintaining Full Flight Simulators.
Primarily Electrical but have had dealings with binary, HEX, Fortran code, etc

My aim is to initially find out what the limits of the Lexia kit are, whether I can remap with it and if i can I would like to start the steep learning curve of understanding the data and the process of changing parameters.

I have spent the past 3 day's trying to find out any info at all but have ground to a halt. This forum looked like it could have the answers so i'll get browsing and see what I can find.

If anybody would like to help me, links to "getting started" style literature would be most appreciated. Or maybe a dummies guide to ecu software/remap. :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

Hallo Gavin! Welcome!

Have a nosey in the literature section, there are some good pointers there!
You'll find out that trying to modify the PP2000 software is very very complicated. Even decoding PSA's obd scheme is difficult to do and time consuming. I don't wanna stop you as without trial there is no success, but I warn you that it is a utterly complicated process if you do not own PSA's proprietary information.

Regarding general PP2000 usage and remapping tho you can ask on this forum whatever you want and someone will be able to answer!
You cannot remap with the PP2000 interface apparently but if you have a Bosch ECU (your engine can also have a Siemens) then a good reader for your engine is very cheap.
