    Where to get tune up for Disco 2 TD5

    Just wondering if someone can help. I have Disco 2 TD5 that needs dyno tuning. Using a little fuel. I live sale area so need somewhere in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Does anyone know where to get this done at a reasonable price. Have been qouted in Morwell for $1500.00 for upgrade but unfortunate I cant afford this as only on pension. I appreciate any help. thank you. Rod

    Your car will not need a dyno for starters
    If anyone down your way has a Nanacom to check it out ,
    The problem could be as simple as a maf or air filter

    Thumbs up A possible point of contact...

    Rod, what's the service history like?

    Give AMV a call - 03 9870 9904 - and talk to Greg Ellis about the situation.
    I'm certain he'll talk straight to you about it.

    Good luck
    Pete

    Hi Ron

    If you mean l/100km then 12-13l/100km is perfectly reasonable for a TD5 disco auto. The official figs (from a 2004 brochure) were Urban 12.7l/100km, Extra Urban 9.0 and combined 10.3.

    In almost 4 years of ownership I'm averaging 12.9l/100km. Mainly city driving with occasional country trips and towing a 2t caravan.

    Cheers

    Steve

    Check your air cleaner filter, a clogged dirty filter can cause it to use more fuel.

    And honestly is it really needed unless the op wants a tune for more power .
    In saying this they might charge for dyno time but might just remap it for power
    I dont get why op wants a dyno tune because its using excess fuel
    Must have some cash he wants to burn
    Anyway good luck with your dyno tune

    Dyno tune

    Been quoted $$250 approx may be cheaper. I'm only getting it done because I have tried everything else. I have been quoted $1500.00 for tune for more power. Have new air filter new mass airflow censer crank censer. Haven't any luck on computer. Rod
