Renault Wind reduced engine power

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with my 2011 Renault Wind (gasoline engine). I'm getting reduced engine power and the scan tool shows an error stored in the error memory. The car has about 80566 km on it. Could this be related to some dodgy chip tuning someone did before me? It feels like the engine is breathing through a straw!

A 2011 Renault Wind experienced reduced engine power, with a diagnostic tool indicating an error in the memory. The issue was suspected to be related to previous chip tuning. After consulting a workshop, it was confirmed that faulty chip tuning was the cause. The problem was resolved by removing the tuning and re-flashing the ECU, restoring the car's performance.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Hey! I had something similar with my Wind. Did you get any specific fault codes when you did the car diagnostic? Mine was acting like it had a clogged fuel filter, but it wasn't that.

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, I did get a fault code, but I didn't write it down immediately. I'll check it again. So, was your issue definitely related to the tuning, or could it be something else?

Definitely the tuning. Once I had it removed, everything went back to normal. It's like those cheap tunings promise the moon but deliver a crater! Best to get it checked out by a workshop, they'll know what to do.

Thanks a lot for the help! You were right, I went to the workshop, and they confirmed it was a faulty chip tuning. They removed it and re-flashed the ECU. Cost me 180€, but now it runs perfectly again! Appreciate your advice!
