New D4 Owner

[CraigE]

Ok guys,
I have just bought a 2011 D4 TDV6.
Is there an EGR blanking kit for these that does not trigger alarms or confuse the engine management?
Also what performance upgrades can be done to these engines without damage eg exhaust, ecu mapping etc
Very happy with it so far.
Cheers

Needs to mapped out.

Sounds good, who is the best option?

That’ll depend on your location and engine model as I believe some models require the ECU to be removed from the vehicle to be programmed.

Have a word with Darren (Dazzatd5) at Aztech 4x4 Mechanical.

What Veebs said,my 2011 D4 has been remapped by Mark at Autocode,no lag,excellent overtaking roadtrains and egrs blanked.Recommended.

And plates fitted,or you won’t know 100% they are fully shut.

Congrats Craig - the MY11 can be OBD programmed so you're good to go!

The EGRs need to be mapped out, and blanking plates as per D3 model fitted.

Its easy to do, reach out to BAS.


As with all modern vehicles a good diagnostic tool is important and handy - if you get the GAP IID you'll be able to have BAS write a map for engine tune, EGR removal or both.
If you dont want full diagnostics the BAS RRC tool does engine fault clearing / reading and remapping.

I'd suggest their software - its one of the best out there.

The Gap IID is brilliant, calibrate suspension, clear service, fault checking/clearing, custom CCF modifications, ECU updates etc..

The OP hasn’t said if it’s 2.7 or 3L? BAS told me 3L is ECU out so they couldn’t help with OBD programming.

2011 TDV6 is 2.7

Agree with this. I also have the GAP IID tool and it has got me out of trouble more than once. My D4 is also a 2011 TDV6. It just had its "mid-life" (timing belts and full transmission service with new pan) last week - done locally in Kal.

Hey Mike,
With the GapIID unit, how does it work, via a laptop or on the in car screen? I was going to get a Nanocom.

It can interact with the in car screen (poorly) so you connect to it via Bluetooth on your mobile via their app.

Mobile or tablet are your best bet.

Rudimentary controls from the menu screen are available.
