seat leon 5f 1.6tdi with dtuk box 0-60

[taran93]

Hi all,
Been reading on here for a while and decided it's time to get a remap however as I couldn't find no remap and it's a lot of hassle to remove it from the engine I decided to get a dtuk box after a lot of thought. I spoke to Andrew at DTUK and couldn't believe how honest, polite and good the customer service was. So I bought one. Had it delivered next day and it took 5 mins to fit. I quickly put it on 4+1 setting just to see if there was a difference and OMG what a difference! The throttle responds immediately as no lag what so ever. You can really feel the difference.

I am going to post results on how it drives this week on different setting and will keep you updated.

If you want me to do any tests just ask

Here's a link to see the speed on a 0-60 in pouring rain. I was getting wheel spin in third gear and even fourth gear on other occasions but just because it's wet.

I am definitely considering getting one for mine. What's your fuel consumption like?

At the moment I'm using the map 0 + 1 and im getting an average of at least 10% if not 15% better mpg even on the short runs. With the map 4+1 I was getting around 51mpg that's while slamming foot down every corner I had a chance so not bad.

What was you getting before?

Good to hear. Makes a heck of a difference. Remember your trip will be well out after you fit the box. Mine settled at 13% average on 4+1.

Also have you guys got the red or green box?

Neither. Crd-t

Neither. Crd-t

It only gives me the option between these two:

'Stage 2' is what you want: http://www.diesel-performance.co.uk/systems_available.php?id=4215

Does the 1.6 not have traction control? Can't see a light, if I do a 0-60 sprint in the wet it does not turn off until I get to 50!

 

[taran93]

How do you know if it's a stage two or normal? And it does have traction control but I don't think it'd enabled im going to try out map 2 today and tomorrow see how it goes. My mpg was lower before if I drove it in sport mode about 45-50 hammering it down which is short trips but I see that there's no rain today and it's a bit dry so going to give car a wash and then test it again.

Stage 2 is what DTUK term tge crd-t box. You will know if it is a ctd-t as it will say ut on it and will connect in 2 places not 1.

The traction control light will be on all the time if it is disabled or flash when activated when enabled.

 

[taran93]

Ah Yeh I got the stage 2 then. I have no idea why it's not showing. Could it be so wet that it just wheels pins and doesn't have nothing to grip to? I know it's working because I went up a hill and floored it the other day and it was a green light so it does have it. I'll take a video of 0-60 in the dry whenever that will be in London >_>

This is what the traction control looks like:

It does not seem as strong in sport mode but still really kills the power.

You can put it in ESP Sport and then the light stays on all the time.

I've got it before, I can't seem to get it when the dtuk box is fitted. It only comes on when the box is off? Can it be a fault?

 

[taran93]

I'm also guessing you got the rosstech thing. Is it fully working on yours? I got one but the cable is older then the software so it don't work.

 

[DeanC]

Not sure buddy but mine comes on a hell of a lot more with the box on. Just taken if off as the car is with the dealera tomorrow and I forgot how much difference it makes!

Yea my cable works fine.

 

[taran93]

Do you think I can come meet you one day and enable some stuff on the car?

 

[DeanC]

Of course
