hi all,my missus got this 55 plate td4 with 40000 on the clock,she had been moaning for ages about how it was driving.
got in it the other week and it was a bit of an old dog(the car)rough and slugish ect.
so i got me self on ebay and set to work.
egr blanking mod£30
k and n £40 at the door,bargin.
fully synthetic oil £40.
crankcase breather(modified)£38,ripped off from bmw.
oil and fuel filter and turbo filter£28(europarts)
picked a nice sunny day and away i went,off with the manifold and 2 cans of carb cleaner later,and all of the above done,drives like new,smooth through the gears and a tad more power.
got carried away with the results that i washed the bloody thing and got me heat gun on the black plastic bits(something about brining the silicone back to the surface and makes them like new.
so the question is,do i go for rons box of tricks or opt for the re mapp,,hmmmm
in my line of work these tuning boxes that trick the ecu have caused me some probs in the past,thats not to say that rons box would be trouble,lots of good feed back from here about then.
forgot to check what maf i have fitted in this,,,,a remapp is in the region of £280.
please make my mind up for me.
ps fitted the spring to the turbo acctuator,well worth doing,but it was a pain in the arse.
regards....
