2013 D4 163hp TDI Tuning box
Does anyone have experience of the engine above (also in the D3 I understand) with a tuning box from TDI Tuning?

I've had two from racechip before, one for the V70 and one for the XC90. Both were around £350 each with bluetooth control. I never seen any performance gain or mpg gain whatsoever. I ended up going for a remap for my V70.... That was the best option. Although they must work to some degree or they couldn't sell them? Many do praise them and many slate them..... Go to a proper tuner and see what options they have too

thanks for the reply, dont know if I want to do a permanent change to the car so thats why am not keen on the remap. Also less keen on splashing 350 on a black box that does nothing....
Did you get in touch with Racechips to complain, surely they have some sort of guarantee. Was your V70 an auto? Wondered if the tuning box would do anything with the gearing? Cheers !

I had a DTUK one on my previous V50 2.0d
It was fitted by a previous owner, (circa £350) I ran several experiments on the settings and running it without it fitted at all. I can confirm that there was a sweet spot (medium power setting) that gave notable performance and fuel economy gains. IF I was to spend my own cash on one for my D4, I'd go for one from DTUK as I have previous experience with them. If polestar was an option on the D4 I'd have that but with software updates being done with Volvo for a lot of issues/servicing I'd fear 'losing' a remap done by a third party. |
