What is DTUK and what advantages does it have.

Google is your friend.

Diesel tuning U.K.

They amongst others, have a little tuning box which costs are 4-500AUD and it plugs into the common rail of the diesel injectors.

Massive increase in torque and ence power. Undeceived once removed, fit and removes in under 5 mins.

I've had 3 diesel cars and for each one I purchased one of these.
Was just wondering f anyone had one here and how accessible the common rail connector is.

Does the varied tuning cause any short term/long term damage. I am happy with current torque etc, does it have a benefit in diesel consumption

Hmmm, not sure if you would get much torque advantage if you're running with a dsg. From what I understand it will limit amount of torque. You might get some HP increase.

Very happy with mine after 8 months and 10000ks. No rattles, air con works too well, even in +35c only run it at 24c and then on a trip push it up to 25c otherwise it just gets too cold.

Pros: amazing economy. Great performance up to a point. Very comfortable with almost perfect mix of ride and handling compromise. Very quiet, very smooth. Bluetooth awesome (contacts list actually works!} IPod works first time all the time. DSG is awesome, love it! Inbuilt tech gear is so intuative and above all, is practical and not gimmicky. Interior gets mixed comments, but for my money, can't beat German minimilism, and the ergos are great.

Cons: stop start is a pain in the bum, always turn it off. Can't see out of rear window at night when reversing as high mount reverse light creates really bad glare over window. Cannot see anything out of it!
