    Just Ordered DTUK Tuning Box!

    Yes the bypass is just a blanking plug that comes with the box. You can disconnect the cables from the box and plug the blanking plug in and you're back to standard.

    Just Ordered DTUK Tuning Box!

    Hi Andrew are there any map updates to the 177 boxes? I had to plug in the bypass connector the other night as my car went into limp home mode just as I overtook a bus on the Dual carriageway ;-) I was only doing 50/60 mph at the time. The engine management light came on then it lost power...

    DTUK tuning box fitting guide, for turkeys?

    As Andrew said think of it as adding an extension in line between the original connection , you disconnect the original plug from the end of the rail then connect it into one of the connectors that came with the kit, you then plug the other end of the lead that came with the kit into the end of...

    2.0 TDI MPG

    In this weather I'm getting about 37 mpg with the dtuk box on. Not great but okay for a quattro I still love the looks though it's difficult to keep the black clean just now. I'm going to have a test drive in the 3 litre one that Dundee have to see how it goes as there isn't much between them...

    Aberdeen Audi

    I've had great service from Audi Dundee so far and have no complaints. They seem professional and always go over the work they have done. They always clean and hoover the car even the other week when it was in for a minor issue and it was absolutely ******* down the car came back gleaming.

    DTUK experiences?

    I've just read what I posted last night and I think I'm maybe expecting too much...I'm trying to get the best economy so I'm driving like a fanny but also want more power ;-) I'm ******* about at low revs in all gears and watching the dis mpg readout ;-) Tonight I just gunned it without...

    DTUK experiences?

    I've had the box on for a while now and I'm struggling to find a setting that I like....originally I liked the map 2 +2 but below 2k rpm it's sluggish and I find myself in 3rd/4th a lot and the mpg struggles to reach 40 on my normal run. I ran map 3 at 0, +1 and +2 and it feels much better low...

    DTUK experiences?

    I have played with the box for a couple of months now and have settled on map 2 +2 it gives the best performance for my driving style. Map-1 +2 didn't notice much difference between standard felt sluggish below 2500rpm Map-2 +2 brings a smile to my face its great on twisty roads and you...

    DTUK experiences?

    I'm trying map 3 + 10% seems smoother at low revs than the map 2 + 20% I was running last week. After searching for hours I found some info on the different maps and the graphs that come with the installation instructions. Might be worth including some info on your website/instructions as I...

    Help with a4 black edition selection ( newbie)

    Think they are standard on the Avant but an option on the saloon. I noticed on another post a guy just had his new black edition saloon delivered and it didn't have the tints.

    Help with a4 black edition selection ( newbie)

    I have an Avant black edition in phantom black and it looks great and relatively easy to keep clean. I opted for the black over the white but I see a white one on my way to work and it looks great as well and I sometimes wish I'd went with white. You won't be disappointed which ever one you choose

    3.0 TDi worth the extra to the 2.0?

    Silly speeds to me are in 3 figures....I was testing my DTUK box on a private road last week and I was pretty impressed with performance from 40-120 in 6th gear. Acceleration from 50-100 is good. Things slow down after 120 at 3500rpm but eventually reached an indicated 145 before I got bored...

    3.0 TDi worth the extra to the 2.0?

    Each to there own...my 177/217 is fast enough for me but Im definitely going to consider the 3ltr next time. I'm not interested in 0-60 times or racing Bmw's II expect the petrol boys will be along shortly telling us all diesels are **** ;-)
