We got a steinbauer chip with the beaudesert 2.75 exhaust. At first we had issues, kept conking out while accelerating out of 1st gear, esp when towing.... 2850kgs car + 1500kgs camper trailer. Fuel consumption towing 15.65l/100km. Took it back to the mechanic, found the MAF sensor was filthy, probably had never been cleaned, we'd had the 2008 d40 since last oct. Now running sweet as, great power in the lower gears, fuel consumption down to 11.36lt/100kms not towing but fully modded. Sounds friggin awesome, big beefy, throaty diesel!
The only thing that niggles me now is that since the chip/exhaust was installed if we accelerate suddenly in the lower gears we get a thud under the left hand side of the bonnet. Mechanic says nothing to worry about, I'm not so sure. Only happens 1st & 2nd gears around 3000-3500 rpm. Any ideas?
Totally agree about Roo Systems...we tried an exhaust/chip system thru them...utter disaster. Not only did they send the wrong one, they blamed the floor pan of the D40 for it not fitting...sight unseen.. my mechanic said send a new one. Arrived 4 days later...same as the first. Roo wanted to have it customised, I said no, & had rung other mechanics, exhaust centres & Nissan who all said a manual Nav with an auto floor pan excuse is crap. Told this to Roo, got my refund. The exhaust is still waiting to be collected in the mechanics shopfront...6 weeks later. The chip caused the engine to overrev when changing up gears, not good, got that off quick smart. Says a lot for what they think of their product. It's a shame Gleno doesn't spend more time running his business than out gallivanting off road for the dvd's, but then I guess that's what you get when you're beholden to the EMG machine.
Also with Roo, I bought a recovery kit which came minus any shackles, have ph'd them +++, Gleno promised they'd be sent out with a LED bar for my inconvenience...never arrived....another unhappy Roo Systems customer.
