Yep it can but I'm not sure if the mapper will need a base map to go from...

I would suggest taking it to somewhere that does maps and ask them to look at it to see if there is evidence of it being mapped. A remapped ecu should be able to read the diagnostic codes the same as an unmapped one. Either something else is wrong or your garage has issues with it's kit.

Very interesting, again you educate me. I assumed all were 7 seaters. Boot space is a massive in those!

Probably the sensible plan ,but sense doesn't always prevail! I had a mk2 superb for a bit which I really liked but the seats gave me awful backache to the point I had to sell it 6 months later. To be fair I would be looking at a mk3. Interestingly the boot is only 50l bigger than the Octavia but I know cabin space is on another level...

Probably right. I wouldn't sell with problems so if it is the pump it will get fixed anyways. I am starting to feel the change itch though so it's days may be numbered! Having said that longest I have ever kept a car apart from this is 3 years and other cars in the fleet rarely last longer than 2 years so it shows how good the scout is. If they had made the mk3 in petrol I would be all over it!

@skomaz thank you. Somehow these weren't on my radar. Boot looks huge with the 7th seat down. Is it? I've resisted suv but there is very little else out there ...

I've had my 1.8tsi scout for just over 10 years and around 60k miles. Its the perfect family car, quick enough, comfy, 4wd for those occasional snowy days or grass fields! I've always said we would keep it until it started costing money, it's been pretty faultless to be honest, one coil pack went, a boot catch, and that's just about it. Ive only just replaced disks and pads for the first time! But, it's just lost loads of coolant, assume the water pump is gone, so first big bill. I find my mind wondering to a replacement, but what the hell to replace it with? Doesn't seem to be anything as good as any price range? The boot space is pretty unbeatable, but the car itself is still sensibly sized. Enough room for everyone and most importantly not diesel. Anyone moved on from a mk2 To something else and not regretted it?

New battery ordered from ECP. In the meantime I have put a solar trickle charger on the car and I have not noticed any other strange behaviour which suggests it is the battery to me. Although the car hasn't moved for 2 weeks so maybe it's just completely dead! (Don't think so!)

Thanks guys. Hope it's not the siren battery. Looks like a major faff. Might just replace the main battery, I have had the car coming up to 7 years and never replaced it so can't be too happy.

My 2010 scout seems to have developed a mind of its own. Alarm going off, radio randomly turning on when nobody is in the car, doors unlocking. My 1st guess is battery on its last legs, anyone had similar before I splash the cash? As far as I know it's the original battery so 10 years old. Starts and drives fine, no codes stored... Thanks everyone!

Maybe missed it but whereabouts are you?

Macro shots were fun. Thanks for the inspiration.

Sadly I didn't and sold the car a couple of weeks ago :( Waiting on my new infiniti now

Problem is most people wouldn't care. I had a similar thing buying a renault a couple of years back. Front tyres were shot and asked for them to be replaced specifying I was happy with mid range tyres but not budgets. When I turned up, what a surprise it had tyres I had never heard of on. When questioned the dealer simply said "but they were more expensive than falkens". Sure like that makes them good.
