- Results of having a TDI tuning box fitted to my Jaguar XE 2.0 Diesel R-Sport.
Apparently the tuning box should have the following results:
Power = from 180ps to 238ps
Torque = from 428nm to 509nm
Fuel efficiency increase of up to 20%

A bit random video compared to normal videos, but it has been sitting as unlisted for over a year, so thought I would publish.
I just purchased the TDI box and this thing is amazing! Very noticeable power increase in the 6,7 maps , a lot more boost and comes in earlier too. Very impressed!
What car do you have?
Nice Omega mate
Thanks, it is an Omega Sea-master Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010. Saw it in a pawn shop a few year ago and could not resist buying
When doing a 0-60 hold your left foot on the brake pedal and build revs to 2k then let foot off the brake. Takes away the turbo lag and takes another second off the time.
I have heard that is how you do a launch on super cars, but never thought it would work on a saloon.
Have you done this on your XE?
@@UKDrivingTest I have a 2015 xf 200ps which was 0-60 in 8 secs I put a blue spark tuning box on which claims 248bhp and use this method for a quick take off especially at junctions etc and my 0-60 is now 6.7 sec
i have a 2.0d XE and have a TDi tuning box, if you manually change gear at 3500rpm youll find the huge torque will help you get going much quicker, remember diesels get best performance using the low down torque - not going to top revs
And yes i have found the tuning box improves performance noticably
So change gear at 3,500rpm?
I will have to try that and see. My understanding was you get best performance if you changes gear just before max revs, going to max revs (red area) often results in a drop of power, this is based on information in police drivers advanced driving books / advise, also same advice given by racing instructor on a track day, where he was advising when to change gears. But maybe that is petrol? Different for diesel as they have stronger torque at lower speeds.
Ideally having a dyno measurement of power at wheels done you have to shift at a point where you get the same power at wheels before/after shifting.
If the engine has the same power at 3500 and 4000 rpm it means it has less power at 4000 at wheels.
@@UKDrivingTest petrol engines you use higher end of the revs
diesel you use the benefit of better low range torque
so doing manual changes with your foot down at about 3500rpm youll get to 60 far quicker
@@UKDrivingTest As a police trained driver you are on the right lines here but not quite. We take the revs using two points, first is peak BHP which occurs later in the rev range and peak Torque which depending on petrol or diesel happens a good bit apart. BHP is close to the redline and torque is mid range (the push in the seat feeling) It's even more complicated on modern cars as they have greatly improved a combination of both across the rev range but in diesels, short shifting does work in getting the best balance of both!
I like the Vauxhall Vectra VXR till September 27th 2021
Hi, cool channel!
As a fellow XE d180 driver how do you find the gearbox calibration? Mine is sluggish? Cheers

I don't find any issues, but I have this tuning box fitted.
I have this car to get the best out of the shift you need dynamic sport with traction off... also he should have launched
@@hashama6 i was not aware you could turn off the traction control or it had a launch feature. How do you do this?
@@UKDrivingTest you need to press the ESP button off and switch to manual gears... full foot on brake and acceleration down before relasing
Ok they confused me today on a call when I asked about auto gear box flash … they told me this tuning box does it all ? I thought this was for engine only like mpg and bhp not the gearbox so what’s that about lol
Is it necessary to check mirrors when pulling off from waiting at traffic lights? Would you get marked down for not doing this on the driving test?
Checking mirrors before moving off in traffic is something I would always do, in particular the left and right mirrors, as there could be cyclists or motorcyclists filtering thought and being aware of them is just a good idea, especially being aware of a motorbike as you might choose to move over for them to give them more space, they will be very grateful.
However, as it is not a major safety issue it is not marked on the UK driving test, but the examiner will be very pleased if you do the checks.
Driving crawley i just bought a 2017 xe 2ld 180hp. Hoping you can tell me if you had any problems after tuning it like that?
No, I have not had any issues whatsoever ever
Does this box fix the dreadful turbo lag? Having to wait 2 seconds after pressing throttle will kill someone one day, so I'm looking for ways to get rid of the lag as much as possible. I love everything else about the XE.
Difficult to say for sure as I have had the box fitted for quite a while, so don't really remember what it was like before!
But I don't notice any massive delays when pressing throttle.
I have a 3.0 diesel. Had the egr delete done last week. £200. Well worth it. Lag half as bad now.
You must have a duff car , my jaguar same spec does 0 - 60 in 7 seconds as standard, 😁👍
Mine too. A little quicker now ive had the double egr delete done on my v6. Well worth £200.
I was thinking that , I have a Volvo s60 D4 178hp and I do 0-60 in 6.90 seconds .
Is the MPG better or worse with the tuning box?
It is difficult to tell, there are so many factors that effects MPG it is hard to do a 'fair test' to compare it.
But all I can say is it seems about the same, not noticeably better or worst.
Driving Crawley That’s great! Thank you so much.
why do u open the window when doing 0-60 test, the interior of car acts like a parachute doing that
Was just experimenting.
Out of interest, as I have a XE 2.0d AWD, how much did it add to your insurance/other insurance.
That would be Zero. It’s got a discreet mode and is plug n play for a reason. 😅
How's the mpg?
around 40mpg, based on mixture of short town drives (10mins) and slightly longer drives to next town (30mins)
Who race with window open ?
Did you DPF icon come out?
No, has never come on.
Where did you buy this from
Buy what? Tuning box?
Why are the windows closed with the box fitted ?
It just seemed too noisy with them open
Why are you left the window open for diesel 180
Experimenting I guess lol
Now treat yourself to a proper remap and feel true performance increase. :D
lol
So, in conclusion, not worth the £400 for a one second improvement.
Dont expect anything more than a second without actually changing turbo’s injectors etc. for just a map tune 1s is a lot faster. Dont expect a 3.0 out of a 2.0 with a small tune box lol
Completely useless test... The difference could well have been because your window was closed on the TDI box test...
I was going to get a TDI box but seen they do not do what they say on a Dyno!!
I don't think the window would make that much difference, but from personally experience it does feel different, of course no way to know, without dyno, if the BHP figures are correct or not.
It depends what you want, if you want guaranteed results then pay more for a permanent remap and dyno. Of course this might then invalidate your warranty.
If you want to save some money and have ability to remove it then this is for you.
Seems quite slow
My scirocco 1.4 tsi goes 0-60 quicker than ur 20-60🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
According to parkers a VW Scirocco 1.4 tai does 0-60 in 7.7 seconds and weights 1271kg, so 0.03 seconds slower than 20-60 in this video. But not taking into account the 'official' figures are often off, and also road is damp when testing as the aim of the test was not to max out figures, but to see if there was a difference.
XE does 0.60 in 7.9 according to official figures, weighing 1490kg, so XE heavier as much larger car.
My XE is a diesel, your scirocco is probably a petrol, so completely difference cars, like playing top trumps every cars is going to have better and worst stats than others.
And?
