    Default software upgrade for sgnum performance?

    Hi all i put this under engune rather than electrical as i thought it fits better in this catagory apolagies if im wrong.Anyway spoke to a guy at my local vauxhall garage and he tells me there is a software upgrade for my 05 signum cdti 150 that wull help with th poor performance under 2000 rpm.He says it'll cost about 40 quid, anyone else ever heard of this upgrade or is he just trying to make a quick buck?

    Probably not ... But seems strange some dealers are offering free software updates to get you in and others are charging £40 for it

    Will it help with the lag? Know anyone thats had it done? because if it does help its well worth 40 quid i hate getting out of my vectra and driving her signum because of the lag.

    Free software updates are only done during a service and it has to be the manufacturers schedule type and not the low cost dealers oil and filter only.

    Its unlikely it will cure it if you have a lack of low down power its more likely your EGR valve or swirl bar faulty on the manifold.

    Oh ok i thought the lag was just a common problem and nawt to do with egr/ swirl bar.the swirl bar is good so if i blank egr will that solve it? It just isnt nice to drive round here with it the way it is.cheers for the replies guys.
