2.2TDci upgrade?
HI All

Newbie to teh site but 20 year veteran to Landies of all shape and size. I have just taken ownership of a 90 day old (Ex-Demo) 90 2.2TDci XS and loving it, a bit too refined but still awesome as you may imagine. For the dirtier jobs in life (horses) I have a 300Tdi pick up, one of the last made in 99 and have cleaned the engine up nicely though EGR removal, de-cat pipe and K+N filter/new hoses etc, it goes sooo well.


PUMA Dilema
Any way onto the theme here. I am eager to get the best (MPG and poke) from the 2.2 engine and are ever tempted by the plug and go enhancements. I am new to such technology but quite tempted by the chip express plug and play.

Without wishing to open a can of worms I would be keen to hear of experiences which may sway me one way or the other..

Cheers for any advice or opinons

Hi Dave

have a read of this - I think the general opinion is do not go plug and play, get a proper remap Thumbs Up

Although bare in mind that remaps aren't yet available for the 2.2 as the securty hasn't been cracked yet. Darren

Hi Bob

Ta for the comment, I just had a quick read and aye, the re-map looks the best option.

The only thing I worry about is the warranty, with it only being a couple of months old I feel quite confident HAVING 34 months remaining as I drive around!

I would hate to lose that for the sake of a bit of extra grunt hence the plug and paly option...

Of course I could just get on with it as the motor seems pretty well sorted despite the Euro chokes that have been enforced on it by the 'Erberts in Parliament!

Cheers for your time Bob

My understanding when I asked my dealer when I got my 110 is that any kind of remap or engine mods would invalidate the warranty.
