Chipped Tractor no more.
« on: 16 February 2010, 19:15:36 »
I've removed the tuning chip from my tractor, it's back to normal now.
Reason..........fuel economy really.
Getting a bit p*ssed off with less mpg despite what others say about it improvement it gives, not on mine.
Anyway my findings are, obviously less grunt and power on tap, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.
Improvements.... seems smoother on acceleration, no stuttering at around 30-35mph and again at 45-50, which I had with the other chip fitted.
And the best improvement is  I've got my display telling me the right figures eg consumption, range etc.
And I know it will give me more mpg back to standard, should read something like 32-34+mpg, rather less I'm afraid with the other chip fitted. :(

Using decent fuel from BP/Shell really reduces smoke  :y

#if yours is a 427 variant Mick there are 2 or 3 other chips that give less smoke and similar gains in power!! its all down to personal preference!! :y

Tried everything..Total, BP, Shell, Esso even the more expensive stuff at the likes of the big ones mentioned above, no difference......Worst being being Sainsburys city diesel, well the smoke cloud from that was unreal.
Mainly use Asda diesel no worse than the big well known brands :y

BTW I've got the same stuff in now as was in before I changed the chip over. Instant result, virtually no smoke :y
