Posts: 3,273 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0  | Tuning box  Tuning box arrived today from www.tdi-tuning.co.uk. It will be going onto the warrior for a couple reasons... The reason I told the wife: to aid the fuel consumption so its as economical as possible to save us money. True reason: more bhp and torque (insert jezzer smile here) to help with towing etc. |

You would be driving along and all of a sudden the truck will go into limp mode until you turn it off and back on again, it had only done this a couple times since i bought it. Now the tuning box is in, it has done it twice in the one journey its had. Bloody cars... |

Posts: 3,273 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Yeah i think i have it narrowed down to either the egr or the boost sensor, this tuning box plugs into the fuel rail and boost sensor so would make sense it magnifying the issue if it was directly involved, and egr's are just a **** in general lol |
