Exclamation Re: EBAY mod Chip Power Increase UPTO 20BHP VariPower etc.

i put a chip on my car, just to see how good it is. well what can i say except that it is flipping crap.!!! i drive a 1999 seicento with an 899cc engine and just from home to work and back again (for one day!!!), which takes me about 1 hour there and back, it drank 1/4 of a tank of petrol "and that was from home to work". without the chip, the car would do about 1/4 of a tank of petrol in about 2-1/2 to 3 days. and just remeber that the tank holds 30 litres of fuel. (from empty to full) so if i was you , stay away from this item unless you want to keep paying for petrol every 5 mins. thanks, fiatseicentoexpert.

Re: EBAY mod Chip Power Increase UPTO 20BHP VariPower etc.

If these people selling them on ebay are selling them in ebay shops, surely it is possible to report them to ebay and threaten to take them to trading standards for purposefully misleading consumers into a buying a product that is significantly different from the description.
For example I have seen some resistors being sold advertised as adding 15bhp, being completely safe for the car, as it keeps the sensor reading within FIAT's specification, and the even say that it can improve fuel efficiency.

i can see ya point, when the chip is fitted, all it does is put more fuel in to the engine. when you do that the engine runs even hotter, so it goes out of fiats limits. ebay sellers say that its ok, so that thay can sell the chip.

Question Re: EBAY mod Chip Power Increase UPTO 20BHP VariPower etc.

hi, just got a cheeky cinq 1.1 sport last week, im prepping it for the MOT, i've had many problems (especially with the handbrake design) but unfortunetly it runs like a sack of ~ ~ .
Its got a big K&N filter straped straight to the throttle boddie and there is a number of pipes with screws jamed in the end . if it has one of these "mods" does anybody know how i can identify it and remove it safely,

Many Thanks,

P.s if your local(doncaster) and have:
backbox,
midbox,
steering wheel,
and a purple passenger door let me know cheers
