Like your honest and interesting presentations. I'm going to watch many more. Ps don't forget the L322 as thats why I started watching you originally. Thanks 👊
I had a very poor experience with a DTUK box on my 530d, and a similarly poor experience with trying to get a resolution from the company, so take this as my warning to you. After a couple months of having a brand new DTUK box on my car, I started getting swirl flap error messages. My car had idling issues and the engine would sometimes even cut out entirely when approaching roundabouts. My box had a blanking plate that was supposed to negate having the box on, so I used this and attempted to diagnose the problem. After much research, the only real option to fix this was to get a new intake manifold, complete with a swirl flap acutator. This did not solve the issue. I then decided to remove the box wiring entirely and put the car back to stock, and guess what, no more swirl flap error messages or idling issues! I then repeated the process of installing the box again and uninstalling it just to be 100% sure ahead of contacting DTUK. You guessed it- issues returned with box on (even with blanking plug, and all was better when the box/harness was off. I contacted DTUK with this information and just asked for my money back, whereby I should have also been asking them to pay for my intake manifold I didn't need to buy. DTUK didn't believe me and asked me to send the box back to them so that they could check it. Of course, all their tests said the box was working properly (shocking!) but they would send me a new box (but not a new wiring harness). I obviously didn't want anything to do with their useless product after this, but this was the only solution offered up, so I ended up with a new DTUK box I didn't want that I sold on ebay for half the price I paid for it. I'll never use one of these boxes again, and I most certainly would recommend everyone stay clear of DTUK in general. Awful products and customer service.
Good morning Nut job and welcome back 👍🏻 Hope your keeping safe and well? Love the 100% attention from your pooch lol 😂 Lovely looking dog 🤣Great honest video as always loved watching it 😄 I bought a similar thing years ago for my 2.0D X type Jag but didn't find much difference 🤔 Cheers Stevie 😎
Think these kind of units are fine for cars with warranties etc.. new.. as can easily remove without anyone knpwing....only had 1 in diesel Zafira and noticed improvement in economy etc... But now prefer rolling road map etc but when going on for service have to advise garage not to update to latest software as will wipe out the 'map' your discretion with you inform your insurance company ....
Hi. Do you happen to have the paperwork/instructions still? I have one of these fitted on car I bought but no paperwork. A scan of yours would be appreciated. Thanks.
Had something similar on a Saab petrol turbo in the early noughties put the power up from 150 to 204 brake. Made overtaking a doddle. It was a tuning box but flashed the cars ecu through the obd port the could reverse the process when the car went in for service. Allegedly it left no trace on the cars ecu.
hi , i like your vids on how to...but have you seen the very recent vid by darkside developments? they fit this one and other types of plug n play then dyno them, wow, the results are very interesting and the response from the makers.hmmm.
Another great video, You make these days a lot easier to get through. I'm not sure that Your dog is into re-maps? Looking forward to the next modification.
I have a plug and play gizmo on my P38 2.5D RR on when I bought it, they are over £400 😳 Having driven this model with and with out, there is a very noticeable difference, I can overtake 🐌no bother. Joking apart it's a decent piece of kit, you will pay more for a proper plug and play bit of kit, when you need to start soldering / and messing with the OEM wiring the units area much cheaper.
fatboy 4pie I would think a re-mapped would be the better option, possibly cheaper you can still buy the box fitted to mine but expensive for what it is. It's a while since I had anything re-mapped but it was around the £250 mark. You can get a box of eBay for around £80 but you got to mess with the wiring, then set it up with variable resistors adjusters, not tried one so can't knock it.
In Northern Ireland all the police cars Audi a6 3.0 tdi etc are remapped by a company Torquetronix because of the bullet proof glass and extra weight added
I don’t what this guy is talking about but I got the TDI tuning box and there is a massive difference in the way the car delivers power, he obviously doesn’t know much about how fast technology advances in the tuning industry, the jb4 is one of the best if not the best Tuning box available and ppl record better power with a tuning box then a remap. I also think he’s talking nonsense regarding the price of a remap because they are way more expensive then the number he through, here in Canada a stage 1 remap can cost as much as 1200$ Canadian dollars, which is a lot of money! So number one I think he got a shitty box and number two I think he needs to update himself on the tuning Industry because it’s not what it use to be even 5 years ego.
Marian Mancas The only issue you’d have is if you’re in a serious collision, the insurance assessors will possibly find it and you’re then not insured if you have not declared a modification
I would never install such a device. It might work but with the risk of causing expensive damage to the engine, turbo charger, egr, dpf etc. I recently saw an Audi A5 and VW T6 with massive engine damage caused by tuning boxes.
These tuning boxes is GARBAGE. A propper remap is the way to go. i remaped mine f30 330D from the stock 258hp / 560nm to 347hp / 733nm with no modifications other than the remap.

About time sir, have a Tdi Tuning box on my 320d f31 and so love it with no issues since it was fitted, keep the content coming,
After 3 years, would you recommend?
Always enjoy your videos. Your down to earth and tell it as you find it. Keep them coming.
Enjoying your content, thanks for keeping us going 👍🏾
Great informative video and also loving the doggy chilling on the sofa :-)

Are you going to rest your MPG? Thanks for the videos. Really enjoy them. Get the dog in more, looks a bit lazy though.

A proper remap has to be done on a rolling road or its just the same as the plug and play ie dtuk box or something similar

I have a P38 diesel and fancy trying one of the plug in tuning boxes but thinking shall I just get a remap instead? Decisions decisions! 🤔🤔

@@chrisgreenwood271 Thanks for getting back to me, think I'll hang on and get a remap, won't be until later in the year though. 👍
I need a new turbo first. 👍
fatboy 4pie I think mines on its way out too, think I've got a bit of oil passing the turbo into the exhaust.
You should also try tcu tune, there are quite few companies who are experts in zf transmissions and the results are quite surprising as well.
I'm pretty sure ex police cars are already tuned and remapped from factory?
You would think so, but actually no ☹️
Not sure but when we serviced Met police rapid responce/Armed vehicles they optioned for Long serviceable life
I think your right, I’m sure they are tuned by bmw at factory.

like to see this on the dyno :)
Haha, I can see who the real star of this show is 👍🤣🤣

Tduk and company car owners,go hand in hand 😉
How does this affect insurance? (boring I know!)
It doesn’t usually add much. About £30/year usually
Nut Job oh that’s great thanks. Keep going with your videos 👍
Marian Mancas The only issue you’d have is if you’re in a serious collision, the insurance assessors will possibly find it and you’re then not insured if you have not declared a modification
3 cars in a row - classic bmw manoeuvre
Exactly... 🤣
before and after acceleration ?
Haven’t had time yet, having only just installed it. I can do a follow-up with & without the box plugged in 👍
@@Nut_Job. Thanks for the answer
Consider doing a xhp flash for the gearbox. It'll make a big difference to your day to day
Nut Job Do Acceleration before after 👍🏼
I have for my e92 335D I spent 360£ I don't recommended .
I would never install such a device. It might work but with the risk of causing expensive damage to the engine, turbo charger, egr, dpf etc. I recently saw an Audi A5 and VW T6 with massive engine damage caused by tuning boxes.
These tuning boxes is GARBAGE. A propper remap is the way to go. i remaped mine f30 330D from the stock 258hp / 560nm to 347hp / 733nm with no modifications other than the remap.
NickiLasse rip dpf
Dyno tune or just claimed?
Specially on an automatic, the gearbox does NOT know how many nm-of fuel its getting
@@asdfghjklkjhgfdsa69 dyno tunes 👍
Who did the remap? That’s quite a significant increase 👍
Good videos but that mouth clapping is really irritating lol
