DP/Tunit Berrima Diesel R5 Chip

[95vr6]

I have a DP module in my T5 TDI 128kw, just awesum, the only problem you have to watch your right foot other wise to much wheel spin before ASR cuts in.

Just had my 18 month old chip replaced in my R5. The new one is a later generation and the torque curve seems lower ie better off the lights and through roundabouts. Halfway through my first tank, so I can't comment on fuel economy. The old chip lied to the Treg's trip computer so that economy seemed better. I'll do a couple of fill and empties and see how it goes.

All said and done, wouldn't be without it. Lovely piece of kit and the customer service at Berrima Diesel is outstanding.

Cheers

do you still have the 2500 rpm power surge with the module?

[bobzed57]

The power increase is still noticeable at 2500 rpm, but to my mind not as pronounced. I guess to better describe what I think is happening with the torque is that the lag I used to experience when taking off or trying to accelerate out of roundabouts seems to be far less evident.

Overall very happy.

Have you adjusted the module or the guys at Berrima deisel through the lap top?

As far as I know, the new chip was straight out of the box, and set on 5. Andrew had spent the best part of an our setting up my old chip, trying to manipulate delays etc without success. In the end he just chucked in the new chip and the problem was solved.

In the next few weeks I'll try a few of the power settings to see what effect they have. Setting 5 on this one seems stronger than 5 on my old one.

From the first day I had the old chip installed, I had a perculiar problem that when I was travelling at 100-120kmh down hill, the car would slow, then surge, the slow etc. It was as though the fuel was being completley shut off. There were no indications on the dash that anything was amiss.

I had Andrew look at it a cople of times, but I was never with him during a test drive, so he never really knew what I was on about. It wasn't until we went on a test drive together a couple of weeks ago that he really understood the problem. After a couple of hours driving and mucking about with the old chip, he replaced it with a new one and the problem went away. He's going to use the old chip as a tester.

The new generation chip is great, and the customer support at Berrima Diesel has been first rate.

Have you chipped your Pajero yet, he does them too.

Cheers

My T5 does exactly the same thing when the cruise control is on going down a slight hill at 110-115 kmh.
