I've read many threads around the subject of tuning the 1.6HDI engine in multiple models and on both 16V and 8V engines.
Much of the information is relatively old so that should mean some quality experience out there of what options worked best in terms of results vs. reliability etc.
I'll start by saying I've experienced both petrol engine mapping and plug and play tuning box addition on a diesel over the years, all successful and without any detrimental effects - quite the opposite.
My question centres around what are sensible tuning (additional torque mainly) options on a 1.6eHDI engine circa 125k miles?
My prior experience all on BMW's and many years ago, the last being the addition of a plug n play tuning box on a 2003 (then new) 330d, which was nothing less than a night and day comparison - it improved all driving aspects with nothing negative, but those were pre-dpf days!
I would greatly appreciate input from those who've got or had mildly modified (mapped 'chip tuned' or plug n play type tune) 1.6hdi engines and particularly any with the 1.6eHDI engine to share their experiences, good & bad, noting I'm not planning to remove the dpf due to legalities
