Tuning hints for a TD5

I contacted Marc today as Im still not 100% happy with my ECU upgrade.
It drives like a NEW car in city traffic,LOVE IT.Country HWY driving,an improvement.Towing my empty 600kg trailer,slight improvement.The said trailer with 1.1tonnes of firewood,much the same,no improvement.Marc is looking into a full D2 mapping for my ECU:cool::cool::cool:
It appears the Defender upgrade improves the low down but equals the standard D2 in top end.

So did we ever come to a landing on substituting "A" for DEFENDERS.

I gather you're looking for the best of both worlds. The Disco HWY cruse and the Defender torque.

Hi Scott
My A coding seems not to be working,or Nanocom wont let me do it.
OR its not the 0-M-C that gets changed to 0-M-A.It writes the new code and says it was succsesful but when re-checking it didnt work.
Marc is getting a better D2 fuel map for my D2,I will clarify it when I see him to change the mapping.
I would have been happy with the Defender spec tune,but it is not alot better than the standard D2 towing a heavy load.Other than that its a much nicer vehicle to drive.Even the mrs noticed the difference:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Landy Andy,
Perhaps you could edit your first post to clear things up.

Andy -

the Nanocom doco states that Nanocom "checks" the values in the last Text box (5th value). So i assume that you can't change one of them - its smarter than that - you would need to change all 3 and ensure they line up. The three are the equivalent values for the different types of injectors.

I've not used different diognostic gear (Someone pls correct me) but I asume that they only display 1 character instead of 0-M-C (the first here is a zero - it is always numeric).
I'm not touching mine - it goes like a train.

I think it is clear that this is not a simple as a change to the 5th value in the code – all the reading I’ve done re this lately tells me that’s a calibration value anyway…

Hi,

One can change one last letter of the injector code from "0-M-C" to "0-M-A" with Nanocom (I did it on Disco'99, no problem), but it gives only disbalance on that cylinder (mine was about +5 in average).

Check out your power balance change after such king of "tuning"! :mad:

Yours,
Tim
