Thread: TDV6 ECU upgrade options

3.0l remaps are done by opening the ecu at this stage.
BAS does in-house only.

There is a Superchips dealer in NZ who comes to Oz regularly who can upgrade the 3.0L.

And is Gghaggis right, Tombie, that the D4 2.7 is the same deal as the D3 to remap?

Here's what Pete at BAS told me:

"The 2.7 MY2010 car uses the same ecu as the pre 2010 2.7l which is a Siemens, it uses 11bit CAN over the old 29bit CAN but in essence is the same system.
There is no current remove solution for tuning this car as the interface makers have not added the new 11 bit can to their tools as yet, i can do them in the workshop here but thats no good as you are so far away.
re mechanical upgrades, its ultimately a D3 with a face lift so all parts will fit just as per the D3"

So, yes but not yet is the answer to my question...

If this is about the 2.7L engine in the MY010 D4 then he is wrong as the bluefin interface does it. See earlier link.

He wasn't talking about Bluefin, he was talking about his product. But thanks, I did read the earlier link.

I am thinking of putting a Haltech chip in my 2005 TVD6. Has anyone else had any experience with these?

Cheers.

I take it that the Haltech is a plug in chip?

I say you are better getting a remap as the plugins are using a sledgehammer approach. Re-maps are better for modern diesels.
