You can’t. Remapping for fuel economy in a D4 is an oxymoron. It just changes the torque profile which means you would have to learn to drive on the torque to get any negligible benefit. In reality you won’t.
Save your money. D4 HSE EU6 (Known as Jeeves)
New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!) Sold
Sold Volvo XC90 R-Design (known as Basil)
Sold - D4 HSE (Known as Gerty)
No longer the Old Buses original owner
231,000 miles and counting
05 S manual owned from March 2005
D4 Face lifted
Still original injectors and turbo
V8 Front brakes
BAS Remap, Allisport Intercooler and deCat
EGRs blanked
T-Max split charge
Hanibal Expeedition rack
Prospeed ladder
Duratrac tyres
IID BT
BAS FBH control
Finally don't forget that any remap must be reported to insurers, even if it is to improve MPG.

yes the only remap for fuel economy thats any good is one for your right foot!
Many who spend money on remaps try to kid themselves they get twenty extra HP and more MPG which is an impossible dream as extra HP = more diesel

However I bet its made the economy worse ! I have no complaints about my standard 2016 euro6.
One of the easiest upgrades for fuel economy is whats between the car and the road.
