    diesel tuning boxes - thoughts?

    Yes... and if we do a benchmark.. the remapped BMW 25d Fxx ( 4 cylinder biturbo) are going from 215hp to 265hp with no problems, apparently ... The 250cdi have indeed a tight tolerance band for increase of power... Just see gains from 200hp to 225hp... It is few compared with the 50hp of gains...

    diesel tuning boxes - thoughts?

    Tuningbox work well on the 200cdi, 220cdi and 350cdi! For the 250cdi forget it!!! Don't trust what tuners say. The gains are 10hp and 20Nm at maximum!!! If you chose other settings the cars go into limp mode. And this happened with several kinds of box, 1 channel, 2 channels and 3 channels...

    Tuning a W204 facelift 220CDI and 250CDI...same engine?!!?

    Yes I remember that graph with >260bhp! But it was a line with too much oscillations, that would translate to acceleration cuts and lags when driving it!!!!!! And probably car would enter in safe mode in certain scenarios... And again the problem of presenting just the lines of the remap...

    Tuning a W204 facelift 220CDI and 250CDI...same engine?!!?

    It depends where you measure the car!! I tested a 250cdi at one place and it gave 225bhp and in my benchmark place it gaves 200bhp!!! same car and same original software! I repeat! 260bhp from initial 200bhp are completely impossible! why those famous companies don't post the original...

    Tuning a W204 facelift 220CDI and 250CDI...same engine?!!?

    yes same amount of power! around 220 bhp if you have solenoid injectors... don't believe in other values claimed by tuning companies!!! chose one that can provide you the dyno test before/after remap!!! I saw some 250 cdi that their owners thought having 220bhp and really just having 200bhp like...

    SLK250 CDI DTUK Map

    Don't trust in any brand of chiptuning when talking about the 250cdi!!! Let's see.. Imagine a tuningbox like dtuk or other with 2 or 3 channel. Yes they increase boost, but the turbos installed in the 250cdi don't produce miracles. You just can increase 0,1bar to the max boost pressure...

    Blue Efficiency injector recall?

    i think MB will call every 220cdi, 250cdi blue eff for the replacement... now they are calling already the first cars with the biturbo diesel blue efficiency... the C250 cdi Prime Edition starting in 07/2008... so now if your car is with piezo injectors/ecu you just need to call to schedule the...

    Definitely the Prime Edition 250cdi (<06/2009) won't get the solenoid injectors!!! Mine were piezo ref 1287, now replaced by other piezo ref 2687...

    Blue Efficiency injector recall?

    Remember... i have a C250cdi Prime Edition from 02/2009 now with 121 000km. In 2010 Mercedes replaced the injectors. They put ones with reference 1287. In this month in the cold mornings engine worked uneven with a strange noise. Passing 70ºC everything was OK. I left the car in the workshop and...

    Blue Efficiency injector recall?

    i went to MB and they said that the new injectors are also piezo. the difference concerns to the fuel returning, before managed by the fuel pump and now by the injectors. my car is a c250 cdi prime edition and it will not get new injectors. it is strange the list of cars subjected to this...

    Blue Efficiency injector recall?

    Do you think Mercedes will call every 220cdi and 250cdi blue eff worldwide to perform this service, changing piezo to solenoid and new ECU? The label blue eff started in June 2008 with the C250cdi Prime Edition. In this forum there is an example of a call of a 250cdi November 2011. What units...

    E350 Cdi Blue Efficency Remap?

    As far as i know DTUk crd-t dual channel box has 4 programs, but there is one that is focused in the boost pressure increase. Did you try every program plus fine tuning? This new engine in fact doesn't admit big increases in power/torque, but i think there would be a setting in your DTUk box...

    E350 Cdi Blue Efficency Remap?

    Chipexpress tuningbox only increase the fuel injected. So it saturates rapidly the DPF and sent it into limp mode. If one buys a box that also increases boost pressure such as DTUK or TMCmotorsport probably that doesn't happen. A remap is a good solution, mas it is never a perfect thing as many...

    DPF on a C250CDI

    It's a typical behaviour for a 250cdi... at least a stock vehicle... In my 250 cdi remapped the frequency of regeneration of DPF reduced a lot... What's the reason? The remap increased the boost pressure, so in the fraction air/fuel, there is more air, and consequently it takes a lot more to DPF...
