Can you confirm what it is exactly that you mean by this number? You keep writing 30.000km 30.000 is the same number as 30 and 30km is not very much testing - I drive at least that to and from work every day.Quote:

i mean 30000 km then, 30.000 means 30 thousands around here exactly like one million is 1.000.000 in all the documents here not 1,000,000 ;)Quote:

You keep thinking it's a special case, but it isn't. The biggest difference between petrol and diesel control now is the tightly controlled AF ratios for petrol vs the wider range for diesel.
Do you tow in hot climates?Quote:

Just a quick one..
Whilst seat of the pants is ok, have you got EGT readings or A/F data under all loads and conditions?
i dont have EGT gauge, i keep an eye only on the coolant temp constantly with nanocom, i'm towing a loaded shetland 536 boat with 100bhp engine(around 1500kg) all summer and the temperature is quite often 40*C around here... my dillema still remains that even if the descriptions are highly simplified in RAVE why they dont mention the MAF(being so important) at least once when they describe the addaptive strategy...it's mentioned and described being more important in the V8 section or on freelander engines in RAVE's simplified manner though.... and for thpose engines where the MAF is described being more important than for Td5 is always combined with the IAT like the MAP on the Td5 but the functions are reverted... i reiterate e'g for Td5 they say about the MAF that's only for EGR controll and
1. the MAP/IAT is there:
l To calculate the delivered fuel limits.
l To calculate the air mass in the cylinder.
l To calculate the air speed density.
l To calculate air temperature.
2. The ECM uses the signal from the AAP sensor for the following functions:
l To maintain manifold boost pressure.
l To reduce exhaust smoke emissions while driving at high altitude.
l Control of the EGR system.
The sensor also supplies a voltage between 0v and 5v proportional to ambient temperature. The ECM uses this signal
for the following functions:
l Exhaust gas over temperature protection.
l Turbocharger overspeed protection.
for Td4 they say:
1. The MAF sensor output is an analogue voltage proportional to the mass of the incoming air. The ECM
utilises this data, together with information from the other sensors and the fuelling maps, to determine the correct fuel
quantity to be injected into the cylinders. It is also used as a feedback signal for the EGR system.
2. Boost Pressure (BP) Sensor (which is actually the same as the td5's MAP)
The ECM uses
the signal from the BP sensor for the following functions:
l To maintain manifold boost pressure.
l To reduce exhaust smoke emissions while driving at high altitude.
l Control of the EGR system.
l Control of the vacuum control module
so for the Td4 the MAF/IAT is for fueling and injector engine management and the BP(MAP) is for what the AAP is for the Td5, but on the Td5 the MAP is the most important and it's for the engine management
so IMO simplified or not if those informations are NOT WRONG that's one of the proofs how different can be the management on two different engine... so o won't recommend that mod for a Td4 or V8 whatsoever
and there are more such things but you must have the patience to read the whole RAVE page by page more times like i did...took me one year to do that study just out of hobby... and dont forget that at the basics i'm an engineer
Hmmm... I can belt EGT well outside comfortable levels under load and not see more than 2° temp change at the coolant sensor.
Some good debating going on here:whistling:
With the usual:spudnikboogie:
Engineers designed the Titanic.
And the Mars lander that impacted like a stone!
I'm going to pass this discussion to a couple of very qualified individuals.
I'm interested to see what will come of it..
So to throw a spanner in the works why do mafless tunes on V8 petrols and i do understand for other reasons and they can do so with out the doom and gloom
Yes they are not diesel and yes some are not turboed:angel:
