From what I've heard the BD chip is way to pricey but gets alot out of the motor. Not sure if there are others out there that get the same power & torque without the high price.

I don't understand why you went all the way to Melbourne to get the chip when it was available just up the road.
I have to agree the DP chip is VERY good at improving the drivability of the TD5.
The price is a long way less than the Tunit as well
Also no increase in fuel consumption.

Hehe, I was there in Melbourne for other reasons, had a sat morning free, already did some research & rang around for a quick fitting. Everything worked out well.

Forgive me fellas........but I just can 't help asking why you haven't done a search and come to the realisation that we have a bloke here on AULRO that not only upgrades a TD5 - he drives them also.

Checkout Tombraider before you fall for all the other gizmos.

I'm in Vic.... Tombraider is Qld isn't he?

I need my car every day, the boys at Les Richmond did the whole changeover in 20 mins.

Now if I lived in Qld..... I coud have saved a couple of hundred bucks.

So hi all.

Getting my 2000 td5 auto today. Was looking at the DPChip. Will be towing a 2400 kg caravan. Is the chip worth it for this case you think?

Will also be doing a little off-roading but only simple stuff as it's my first 4x4.

Thanks
Scott

No its not worth it...

For towing a 2400kg Caravan..... Hmm lets see....

1) Trans Cooler upgrade
2) Low Coolant sensor (see 5)
3) ECU upgrade
4) EGR removal
5) EMS system (can use this for item 2 also)
6) Silicon Intercooler hoses
7) centre muffler removal
8) D2a or aftermarket Intercooler
