I remember reading that the mpg improvements from chipping diesel engines can be a little misleading - i.e. the mpg shown in car becomes distorted showing better than actual mpg results. I know some Touareg owners first thought they had improved mpg by around 20%, however found quite quickly that there tank range was the same and when measuring the fuel volume at fill ups found almost no difference at all

I have slept since reading this though, so it could be wrong

With a good 'chip' or 'remap' most owners should see 5-8% improvement in economy on normal 'day to day' driving

Hi, how much is the 0-60 affected by chipping on the tdv6 engine? does it have any effect on the top speed and insurance/warranty? thanks for your help. 2.7 TDV6 HSE 2007 finnally arrived

With a 'good' chip you should see approximately 1.5 seconds 'knocked off' the 0-60 times.

Fuel consumption should improve on longer journeys by approxiamtely 2-3mpg.

As for the 'speed limiter'...it can be removed but I would leave it alone as 118mph is fast enough in a 2.5 tonne 'Brick'

You must tell your insurance company and if you declare the upgrade with LR then they can choose to 'restrict' your warranty for any problems associated with the chip

cheers for your help. Does it significantly reduce the warranty then? Are they likely to blame any future problems on the chip? 2.7 TDV6 HSE 2007 finnally arrived
