- We've had ours remapped, and have been very happy with the outcome. But, is it something you should consider? #rangerover #rangeroverl322 #remapped

It could be a ticking time bomb, or it might not.
The main reason for the "non-optimal" tuning from the manufacturer is related to NOx. If you tune a modern diesel to burn most effectively, it implies higher combustion temperatures. And high combustion temps creates a bit more NOx molecules, which is related to increased risk of cancer. This is mostly a problem in the cities, not so much along the highways and out in the bush, where you live.
Hi Ben I have both l332 3.6 & 4.4 tdv8 both mapped stage one egr dpf removed fully .on both I do a lot miles in both no problems with gear or turbos
All ways let them warm up and cool down. The 6 speed is stronger than the 8 . Fully gut the dpf you gain 60nm and 20bhp . And an even better throttle response and quicker turbo spool less back pressure is better for the turbos
Rare to see a 3.6 fitted with DPF, it was an option that very few chose...
Yep I agree i have an 2002 td6 I done an egr delete and stripped the injectors and cleaned the inlet and new vacuum lines the difference was quite surprising I get good mpg ind it goes well enough for me the way I drive these days. Re mapping depends on so many things like mileage age how its been driven looked after etc but most important as you say is how you drive thrash an un mapped car wont last ,but a remap can give you better response that you can actually use less power keep up the good work
Really enjoyed this Ben. My 2007 TDV8 has just over 150'000 miles with excellent service history. It had a stage 1 remap on it when I bought it a few years ago. It still has it's egr valves which i am thinking of removing very soon. I drive it like yourself as I'm always keen to keep to max mpg, I just give it a bit of a motorway squirt very occasionally and only on a rolling basis. I too am going to service the gear box shortly as the last time was just before I bought it. I will look forward to your vid on that if you do one soon. All the best to you both ..........
I've got a 2012 4.4TDV8 L322, EGR deleted, DPF dropped and drilled re fitted, stage 1 engine map, gear box is 8 sp ZF stage 3, rated for 1000NM currently at 800NM so still safe.
Service regulary and I'm getting 40mpg easily... breaths right, drives smoothly and pulls well... 👌 recommend it
Out of curiosity, what has been changed on your gearbox to make it 1000nm. I know it can handle that when fitted to other cars, but wasn’t sure what was different inside.
@Bensgarage sorry Ben typo, the gear box can cope up to 1000NM however mine is mapped up to 800NM leaving a safety factor, stop the gear box running to hot and melting internally 🤣
The ZF 8 speed fitted in the 4.4TDV8 is only rated to 700nm, in other applications it can handle up to 1000. Just not in the Range Rover.
Strange to hear this, all the work has been done by Landranger in Deeside a Landrover 4x4 specialist, mine is running at 800NM done 15k since the works and all runs smoothly 👍
As I said in the video, if you drive like a normal person and don't do too may drag strip set offs, you should be fine. My 3.6 TDV8 gearbox is rated at 600NM, the car puts out 640 as standard. Now I'm at 750 NM after the re=map, and like you never had an issue. But yeah, the RR L322 had the ZF 8HP70 (1st gen) gearbox fitted and that's rated at 700nm or 516 ft lb.
Hey Ben, very timely as considering this for 2024 on my 4.4 TDV8. Although, believe there is an economy map, rather than a full stage 1 with less power and torque increases. Would get egr blanked electronically and think about also getting DPF physical and electronically removed to help engine breathe as you say. MOT last week, no advisories, and nice little road trip up to Norwich and back this weekend including the occasional spirited drive to spin up the 2nd turbo. All running well and a lovely place to be on a road trip. Be good to see ur gearbox service, had mine mega flushed soon after I got mine a few years back now - 119k miles now and going strong. 🤞😂
Just having a massive reshuffle in the garage, then should be getting it in to do the gearbox service, I’ve had the bits for a while so I really need to crack on.
My 2007 tdv8 has 420000km. Turbos and gearbox still original. Converter has been changed. When i am towing 3,5t my iid tool shows 640nm
Engine shows no signs of wear and idles fine when starting in -25c
I’ve just had my gearbox flushed so being cautious- if it ain’t broke etc- unrelated but those seat covers are perfect just what I need as an anti dog slobber treatment. Where did you get them from if I may?
The seat covers are one of the best things we bought for the RR, I got them here and went for the OEM equipment (INKA) rather than genuine: www.lrparts.net/vplms0087sva-waterproof-rear-seat-covers-in-sand-for-range-rover-l322-from-2009-2012.html
The TD6 GM box is actually a very good box, but as you say the engine is a bit too powerful for it. The consequence of this is that it eats torque converters! From new they last about 100k miles. You can now get better torque converters with better plates which should last 200k. The reason a lot of these cars are scrapped is because a lot of gearbox reconditioners will charge around £3000 to fit a reconditioned box and converter so people just scrap or sell the car on cheap! I have bought a few L322 like this and fixed them myself for around £350. The TD6 can handle a Map with a better torque converter. Mine has a full stainless exhaust and Map and is a lot faster and better fuel economy than my standard TD6.
Our old TD6 started showing signs of failure at about 135,000miles, but that was too far gone (both subframes corroded) to bother fixing it.
Do you have the reference of that torque converter that can last 200k?
I'll be visiting Lyon later in the year. Where about are you ? Might drop in for coffee one day
We're just south of Limoges, about 4 hrs from Lyon.
@@Bensgarage oh, that great, I was in Claremont Ferrand last year , in your neighborhood 😀
Had my '06 TDV8 3.6 remapped and EGR delete, never looked back. The 5.0 Supercharged uses the 6 speed ZF because the 8 speed couldn't handle the torque.
8 speed ZF fitted to the L322 4.4 tdv8 is rated for 700 Nm.
I mentioned that in the video.
@@Bensgarage yeah, I see that , I was replying to nigels comment. Cheers
Hi Ben great video as usual..when are you going to fit mudflaps to the Rangie as it looks naked without them😳😁🤣🤣
Probably never, I'm not too keen on the look of mud flaps, and knowing me I'm likely to rip them off while off roading.
Hi matey after having it remapped is that causing the problems u have had with the triangle of doom keep coming up and putting u in limp mode
No, totally unrelated. It’s either an electrical signal not getting through or a boost leak, either on a hose or possibly (hopefully not) the rocker cover.
As my old gran used to say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Hi bro ! Got a L322 overfinch style 3.6 (2008) 6 gearbox...everytine i star the engine got a sound an a message on the screen ( motor failure) 114.000 Kilometres not miles ! If i repam do you think is gonna disappear this message? I know it came from one turbo ,passager side one ! 🤔 Thinking in remap mine... cheers! I am living in Spain
I would suggest fixing the fault first, before even thinking about having a remap done.
@@Bensgarage is it gonna cost me a lot ! To change the turbo ? I heard that the whole structure need to be out to reach the turbos 😬
@@Bensgarage thank you for your advice! Really appreciate it 🙏🏻
If you do I video about turbos en the L322 would be awesome 😎
@@patriciosandoval7314 If you have an L322 the turbos can be changed without having to remove the body (as you do on a sport) it is very tight, but can be done. There is a video on youtube where someone has changed the turbo.
Iv a 09 range rover sport with the 3.6 in it there at a age now where ud think alot of the problems that were in them out side companies would have solved there problems the bmw diesel even do it was under powered was far better then the ford rubbish and a horse be better the landrovers current engines
Probably a sign of old age, but i don't se the reason they keep puting al this power in SUV's... If i want to go fast i just nick my wifes Lotus! 😉
I guess it's because the cars are getting so heavy, they need a bit of power to move them.
Power increases are largely pointless (it's limited at 120mph anyway), but torque increases make for a more drivable car, especially one that weighs 2.7 tonnes! ;)
