Diesel motorists now has access to a manufacturer-approved tuning device
A new diesel tuning device that is officially sanctioned by Mercedes-Benz in Holland is now available in the UK and can be set up to offer motorists a number of distinct - and safe - performance advantages.
The software that is used in the tamper-proof Diesel Power Tuning (DPT) module has been developed with technical expertise by a diesel engine specialist in Holland and will only improve performance to within the safe parameters clearly set out by the vehicle manufacturer. This totally eliminates the risk of damage being caused to the engine or gearbox through excessive mechanical or thermical loads.
One of the distinct features that sets DPT apart from other diesel tuning products on the market is that the software can be specifically programmed to suit a certain driving style or to meet special performance requirements.
Whether a driver wants improved horsepower, torque, fuel economy or a mixture of all three, DPT can easily be programmed using strict parameters that have been thoroughly tested and are individual to every vehicle in the 80% of the UK vehicle parc that has coverage.
DPT tests have shown that the module can reduce an annual diesel fuel bill by as much as 16%, give an impressive boost in torque and BHP and can significantly reduce a vehicle's carbon footprint as the reduction in fuel is directly proportional to CO2 emissions.
Diesel Power Tuning managing director, Martin Dowd, said: "This product is technically heads and shoulders above the alternatives that are on the market because it is 100% safe when it comes to not compromising the longevity and integrity of an engine and only ourselves and our authorised network of specialist installers can programme the modules which do not 'modify' an engine or the ECU in any way. Mercedes-Benz and other manufacturers in Holland would not endorse a product that was not of the highest possible standard for their brand."
DPT is available through a comprehensive UK network of more than 100 diesel specialist installers, who can all be easily located and contacted via the dieselpowertuning.co.uk website. The site also contains lots of vehicle-specific technical information, testimonials, FAQ's and a buy online facility. Prices for DPT start at £269.99.
