  • V Tech ECU flash tune

    Hi all,

    Finally got my T5 128kw 4 Motion van V Tech Stage 1 flash tuned today by Eurocar Upgrades on the Sunshine Coast Queensland!
    V Tech is a well known & popular European tune.
    Apparently it is now 148kw & with almost 500 Newtons of torque - certainly feels like it!
    First gear now pretty much obsolete & now pulls up most hills fully laden, on the highway, with a lot more ease.
    They also rectified stupid DPF problem(frequent, vast amounts of white DPF cleanout smoke) along with an airbag issue!
    Fuel economy & opinion TBA.

    VERDICT: With the added torque, I am able to cruise at substantially lower rpm. Acceleration - goes like hell! Fuel economy has increased by approximately 15 - 20%, so the amount of kilometres I do per week I estimate it will take around 2 years to recoup the cost of the flash tune through fuel saving.
    Was it worth the expense - hell yeah!

      2008 SWB. I believe only the 4 Motion, for that model, had the DPF!
      Total embarrassment, stopped at traffic lights & the ECU decides it's time to burn out the diesel soot in the DPF. It also happened driving into a basement carpark to meet a client!
      Anyway, that problem is behind me now.

          Doesn't that seem a bit odd two burns that close together or was there a time difference .
