hi man
to Question NO 1: And what is your whell size for the front? I think you can fit your back whells with that size, but your front whells must be the same size. I think you can´t fit your whells with different sizes?(
to the other question: I don´t have any experience about chiptuning

see ya later

HI !

>2) the 81 kW TDI has an intercooler. It´s located on the right side behind the right fog-lamp. So you don´t have to install one.

>3) there are different companys offering chips for the TDi, like SKN, which offers a special rebate for forum members. Other tuners are Wendland or Wimmer.
But as you can imagine, there are many more tuners and everyone has it´s own favourite.

Nice to have such an international forum here

for tuning up your motor you can also use a so called "power-box". in my opinion, the best seller of such a product actually is "hopa" ( www.messe.hopa-tec.de ). right now we are trying to collect the names of members, who are interested in such a hopa tuning, to get a better price there. please contact me if you are interested in: [email protected]

to answer your first question: i don´t know the law of the country you live in, but in germany there are several cars (bmw, mercedes...) which have different rim- and tire-sizes on the front and rear-axle.

hope i could help you a li´l bit.

Hi

Hi! thanks alot for the answers they have helped!

But i still wonder! can i put a bigger or better intercooler on? ?(

Can i fit both a chip and a bowerbox or do they do the same? ?(

Oh and how much is this box from hopa? Price ca. ?(

generally they do the same, but they do it in different ways:

a chip is installed on the place, where your original-chip is located now. so you have to open the blackbox, put the old one out and the new one in, you can´t change this ur undo this at your own. a powerbox doesn´t replace the chip, it´s installed in addition to the original-chip, so the original-electronic-parts of the car can stay in the car as they belong there. you can put it in or out when you want to, because it´s just plugged in (so to say a plug-and-play-software ).

the chip gives another signal to your motor from the beginning and the powerbox just changes the signal of the original chip.

some say that chips are better, others think they must have a powerbox, but you should better look for a discussion in the web which is in english, because all the dos and don´ts have to be discussed, and when you´re not able to read german, it´s quite difficult, because i unfortunately can´t explain the topic in detail, i just don´t know all the technical terms i would need.

and i don´t know anything about the intercooler, sorry!

Thanks for the rapid answer!! sorry that i have not mentuned that i can read deutsch quite good and talk as well but my deutsch writing is still unreadable!!
is there anywhere in the forum where i can read about chips and boxes? What is the price for a hopa box? i am very interested! Once again thanks!

how about the intercooler mounted on the 150PS pd? Shouldn´t it be of a bit bigger size than the one from the 81kw engine? If Yes, what about using this one? Where are our Diesel-experts? )

 

[michel]

you should just click on the "suche"-button on the top of the page! then you write in "chip" or "power box" or something like this. you´ll get all the topics, where we already discussed those parts again and again...

for getting some information about the hopa-box you schould visit the homepage of hopa: www.messe.hopa-tec.de

if you want to know something about the prices, just have a look in the topic "tuningwochen bei leon.de", we are planning to meet near ulm on the first weekend of july. there we get the special prices. for your engine, the box would cost 595,- €, including the build-in (oder was heißt einbau???), two rides on the "prüfstand" and the tüv-examination. but i think you don´t need the german "tüv" and i also can imagine, that you can´t come to south-germany that easily...
