"Really Impressed With The CRD-T On My Audi A3 2.0 TDIO 170PS "

10th Aug 12 Hi Andrew, I trust you are well? I have created a thread – awaiting approval from the site admin regarding the CRD-T Here is what I have written My username on audi sport is H4ldex Hi Guys, I’m a newbie to Audi-Sport.net 🙂 I have had my CRDT tuning box for about 3 -4 weeks now and thought I should write a review Firstly the service from DTUK has been excellant -Andrew and the team have been great in answering any questions or any concerns It all started when I decided to upgrade the power output of my Audi A3 Quattro Tdiin standard form it is a great car but I wanted to get better mileage out of the engine and make the car more driveable I Initially contacted many different remap specialists and was told that the ECU would require removal to be remappedwhich I really didn’t like the idea of Viezu claimed that my ECU was a PPD even though I told them it was a common Rail! I went to a REVO Technik reseller around my areathey needed to read my ECU and then work out if they could remap itI’m still waiting to hear back from themsomething tells me that they won’t be in contactanyway I gave up waiting and contacted Andrew @DTUK After chatting to Andrew and looking at many of the positive testimonials I decided to give it a try. Installaion of the device was easy enough a bit tricky to get to the Turbo MAF plug but if your a competent home mechanic it should be easy enough if your have a A4logitudinal engines are easier to install on:) The A3 is a little tight to work ontry changing a light bulb! Once installed I left the device on the standard map 1 and 10 % boost setting to begin with and took the car out for a test drive First impressionswow its a different car the power and torque was available all the way to the 4.5K what a transformation it performs like a petrol engine and really has some useable power! I then decided to play about with the settings so I tried map 2 with 10% boostnot as smooth as map1 but felt more torquey I am currentley running map2 +20% this is my favorite setting the car goes like a rocket and gives great economy too I managed to achieve 61.8mpg on a cruise upto manchester! Map 3 I found to be the most torquey overall I prefer Map 2 +20% I have not tried map 4 yet but have been told that it is only increased fueling but I’m guessing the boost settings allow for the extra boostI need to confirm this with Andrew I can also confirm that the quality of the hardware is really good the box is well made the loom is made to a very high standard also Overall I am very impressed with the unit a great purchaseand it has completely changed my opinion on tuning boxes I have driven many Audi’s that have been remapped and can’t really tell the difference between the tuning box and remap another good point is that the hardware is mine to use wherever I want! A remap is just thin airI cannot move it to another car etc! Thanks again DTUK I will have a review on pedal box also to post very soon Regards Amit
