General CRD tuning multijet chip tuning box now fitted

[deebee]

Hi guys, i posted on here a few weeks ago asking wether anyone had fitted a chip tuning box to there 500 multijet diesel, well i ordered oner and have now fitted it, very very easy to fit, took me about 5 minutes , didnt even have to remove the engine cover to get to the common rail plug, result!

The car is now much more spritely, accellerating with ease and pulls uphill in fifth gear no problems at all where as before it required a change down to fourth. overall for 95 quid well worth it. report finished

Can you post a link or pm the info to me.

It does sound interesting... post more info!

Hi
Is the the box you purchased. Looks very interesting but appears to be £395 not just £95. Can you confirm please. If there is a unit available for £95 it would definitely be money well spent.

Cheers

better gains possible for less £ with a proper OBD2 re-map

Very true Rob, especially with a dyno before and after check and especially beneficial if you get a free re-install in the event of it being overwritten by any dealer updates.

This would be my choice if car wasn't under warranty.

You say £95, link says £395, typo maybe?

that looks very much like the 20p resistors that others sell for a few quid

 

[smokeyjoe03]

Thats a cheap crappy thing as Dave says. The one origionally posted is an authentic genuine tuner box......

Look at the link posted.

 

[baxwalker]

Interestingly they are both sold under the CRD tag. The Ebay one looks very basic compared to the one in the link I post near the begining of this thread. I wonder if they should be trading using CRD in the product name???

Neither of them has enough part costs to warrant the individual prices charged.

Just my 4 pennyworth.

Dads probably gonna get the remap off Nuovo500.com if he gets it done. Get a proper job done

But then there's the warrenty argument........

they are same maps as angel tunning

 

[smokeyjoe03]

They has confusing price lists.

Any idea on a price?

Also, do dealers actually check for these things if work needs doing?

 

[dave]

dunno their price only know red dot charge £199 as thats where most of the forum go.
search the forum for angel tunning an a price might show up
yes some dealers check, even if you have a map removed before taking it in its still logged in ecu as having been there. but it still wont in validate warranty work not related to the mod

Ahh never knew that...Will let dad know, cheers for your help Dave
