yes, and you can unplug and remove at any time to go back to normal - if you needed to take in to the dealer for a warranty claim, for example. And the good thing is you dont need to remap or patch the ecu. In my case I already have an Autologic remap so now have the best of both worlds....

Of course not an issue if you bought a VW Diesel - they supply the mod as standard.

But I do like the idea of a plug in emulator that can be easily removed.

The Emulators from Mark arrived today look really well made , took all of 15mins to fit as I already had the plugs off the egr,s , been for a drive and no faults logged , will go for a good drive tomorrow .


It will be so good to not have to worry about all the crap going into the engine intake and will save me pulling intake apart each service to clean out .
Good work Mark and thanks for your help . Al .

Al, what vehicle did you fit it to and did you notice any change in the motor?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Fitted to my 2007 RRS 2.7TD6. Did not notice ant discernable change in motor . Give mark a ring for any tech info he is very helpful . Al

Is it worthwhile using an intake cleaner (there are several spray products around) to keep the system clean whilst the SDV6 version is awaiting production? Of course the sellers claim the earth, but do they work?

I've used Revive. It made a difference.

From experience with my intake there is nothing in a can that will clean out the black gooey gunk that is being pumped into the intake and beyond , in fact I had to use Brake Cleaner to clean out the "Y " piece of the inlet .
You can check yours ,if you remove the MAP sensor on top of the air intake you can check its condition for the build up of oily soot .
