I don’t trust them either.

Full proper remap is the only real way I believe.

I have a TDi Tuning one, in the box with two wiring harnesses and the instruction manual. It's the very latest version with Bluetooth control via the app as well.

Looking for £180 and if you are not happy with it I will give you our money back. It's currently £420 with a 20% offer so £336 on their website.

Second new loom not solved the problem. I am wondering if the box is being blocked since the car went in for a service.

TDI/DTUK/Racechip trick the ECU by sending false parameters to the ECU. Tuning boxes usually only control fuel pressure and fuel duration. On a diesel vehicle this can make the car run rich and prematurely age your DPF through soot build up. A full remap optimises the entire ECU and all elements of the engine. Think of an ECU tune as a Tom Ford tailored suit and a DTUK as a Moss Bros.

Also tuning boxed ARE detectable by dealers. They aren’t the safe option.

To be honest i have not refitted it - hence why I am happy to offer money back if not happy. I am selling the Macan, hence why it isn't going back on. I could try it again this weekend. It is a totaly new unit with an uprated ECU and the looms are totally new as well.
