Chiptrimming your diesel engine

[Lasse]

Hi there
I´m thinking of chip my 75 CDT.
Has anyone of you tried to chip your diesel engine ?
Any experiences ?
There are many different brands to choose from.
Any tips ?

All the best

Hi Lasse

Chipping the 116 hp version is well worth it.

I've got the XPower 135 upgrade from MGR. It's a software remap to change a CDT into a CDTi, but I don't know whether it's still available through XPart. Maybe it's worth to ask them about it.

There are other suppliers, too. But I would not recommend to go for a result of more than 140 hp or so, keeping the durability of the engine in mind.

Hi Juergen

What happened to the milage?
What is your consumption at cruising speed ?
Before and after chipping.

I´ve been looking at small digital boxes from www.dieseltrim.net.
I think the boxes are german from the beginning.
They have 3 different boxes suitable for my car.
No. 1 is the most expensive one.

1. ASA DIGI CR Digi CR Tuningbox TÜV
2. ASA DIGI VP44/DENSO Tuningbox
3. ASA ECO CR Tuningbox 2

They say that power is raising with 25%
I save 10% of fuel

Any comments ?

Best regards
Lasse

Hi Lasse

I use a TU3-Tuning from England.

It's a little box, where you can set up different parameters for power and MAF=Mass airflow meter

I have the old CDT with 116HP, with tuning box it's about 135 HP.

Especially the boost between 1000-2000 is much better. No turbo whole.
I use it now for 25000 km.

Hi Lasse

The fuel consumption has dropped by 4% (although I must admit that I do use the extra power (which means more fun) some times ). So if you would not change your driving style it may be more than that.

It's well worth it.
