- This is a power-led gain: BHP increases by more than torque, widening the usable power band rather than boosting low-end pull.
- This is a turbocharged engine, which typically means further headroom exists beyond Stage 1 if hardware is upgraded.
- As a diesel, the practical benefit is mainly felt as stronger pulling power for towing and motorway overtaking.
- These figures apply specifically to 2014 models.
- These are Stage 1 figures only, achieved without any hardware changes.
Questions about remapping your Espace 1.9 DCi 115HP
How much power and torque does a Stage 1 remap add to the Renault Espace (2014) 1.9 DCi 115HP?
A Stage 1 remap typically takes the Renault Espace (2014) 1.9 DCi 115HP from 115bhp to around 155bhp, and torque from 270Nm to around 340Nm. This is a transformative gain achieved entirely through software, with no hardware changes required.
Is the Renault Espace (2014) 1.9 DCi 115HP a good candidate for remapping?
Generally, yes: as a turbocharged engine it has the headroom to respond well to a quality remap, and the transformative gain shown here reflects that. The main caveats are condition, not the engine itself, a healthy service history, no outstanding fault codes, and (for diesels) a clear DPF and EGR are what actually determine whether this particular car is ready for a remap.
Will remapping affect the warranty on my Renault Espace (2014)?
A manufacturer can only void the parts of a warranty that the remap directly affects, not the entire vehicle, under the Consumer Rights Act and EU Block Exemption principles. In practice, on a Renault Espace (2014) 1.9 DCi 115HP this usually means engine and transmission-related claims are the ones worth discussing with a reputable tuner before booking.
What should I check before booking a remap for my Renault Espace (2014) 1.9 DCi 115HP?
Before booking, confirm the tuner uses a custom or bespoke file rather than a generic off-the-shelf map, ask whether they do a pre-remap health check, and check service history and mileage on your specific Renault Espace (2014). For a diesel like this one, also check the DPF and EGR are in good working order, since a generic remap on a struggling emissions system is where problems tend to start.
What's the difference between a Stage 1 and Stage 2 remap for the 1.9 DCi 115HP?
Stage 1 is software-only and is what the figures on this page reflect. Stage 2 builds on that, but on a turbocharged engine like this, Stage 2 usually adds further gains but requires supporting hardware such as an upgraded intake or exhaust, so it is a separate conversation with a tuner rather than an automatic next step.
Will remapping my Renault Espace (2014) affect my insurance?
Yes, always, a remap is a modification and must be declared to your insurer regardless of size. Given this transformative gain on the 1.9 DCi 115HP, expect a likely premium increase, and it is worth getting a quote from a specialist modified-vehicle insurer before booking the remap itself.
