looking for a 3.5t,but fing 1, wi a big hp engine is a tad hard,

Always go for a remap over a chip. Most ecus from 2000 onwards will be remapable, all your doing by chipping the vehicle is removing the "non remappable " chip in the ecu and solder in a mappable one, each engine and ecu will have differance potentials, post what vehicle and engine hp you have and I can tell you what you should see in an increase, I specialise in light commercial vehicles such as transits, mercedes, ivecos ect, and hgv's, it's quite rare if you don't see a mpg improvement, we tend to get 1mpg better on the large hgv which is a saving of about 10% on fuel.

What could you achieve ( barring total destruction ) on a YD25 engine in a D22 pickup . Oil and filter changed religiously every 6K . EGR blanked off ,about to fit a stainless exhaust with the possibility of fitting casting that holds the diesel particulate filter with no DPF in it . Have a spare and removed filter but not fitted it yet as I understand the laws have just changed re the mot . It would still look like there was one there but there would be nothing inside it .........( moral issue as well I suppose ) ....?

I have been looking to get my 54 plate canter remapped. Does anyone know of any tuners in the SE that do commercials?

[Lorry thompson]

I was told they are de-tuned for longevity as said and to compensate for poor maintenance so if you keep on top of maintenance it should be fine. I've looked into it but all I tend to find are reviews by people who have just had it done I want to see long term reviews before I do any of my motors

[boyt]

I work for mercedes benz commercial, so for people who don't know that vitos, sprinters, unimogs, the truck range and mercedes own about 90 of the canters now aswell, also have my own tuning company on the side, long story short I brought a master tuning kit to allow me to choose who and were I buy my modified maps from. 99% of my maps are stage 1 which is a mixed map of power gains with, if driven the same as before the map is done you will see better mpg, dpf needs to be there for mot, we cut and remove and inners, looks like it's still there then, depending on the age of the vehicle they might have pressure sensors in there, then we would have todo a remap to tell the vehicle they haven't got one any more

[Lorry thompson]

What worries me is modern cars seem to be coming out the factory with more power and running better MPG which is what we expect from a re-map but they also dont seem as reliable.

I hear what your saying, I've worked for mercedes main dealer for 10 years, and have seen a great differance in this too, yes the manufacturer is getting or pushing more power from the same size engine we did 10 years ago, the the move in technology and martials have aloud this, and causes very little reliability issues, the issues is the emmions tear system the government keep pushing, were on euro 6 now, with ad blue technology and egr running side by side, due to these systems being emmions related, them must bring on warning lamps, and 99% of the time will cause lack of power (safe mode) this is so you the customer have to take to a workshop and have the fault fixed so the emmions are running correct, 80% of the repairs we do is.for this reason

Hope this helps

[Lorry thompson]

Thats what worries me ive been tempted to do my car also a4 tdi but have known a few people get theirs done and they have problems. If I was to have it done I would rather have a map done specific to my car ironing out flat spots etc rather than go for a chip box.
