Where can I get my Audi A3 chipped?
I have a 2009 Audi A3 1.9TDIE, can you please advise if this engine is suitable for chipping upgrades such as DTUK or Chipexpress systems? If it is possible which would you recommend or are there other alternatives? This would only be done after the car warranty has expired. I know of someone who had this done but blew the engine, and reviews of others who say it's the best thing since sliced bread. Would this work affect emissions at MoT time?

The best for this engine is Bluefin by Superchips, which gives better torque at lower RPM. You have to tell your insurer, but Bluefin is programmable and deprogrammable, apparently leaving no trace, so if the car is not totalled in a crash you can remove all evidence.

I would like to tune my 2004 BMW X3 2.0 diesel, which currently has 150PS. The racing chip will increase torque from 330 to 412Nm and raise output to 192PS. Do you think this will work with the X3?
My Lexus LS diesel has covered 83,000 miles and is trouble free, but my only concern is lack of power and poor economy (30-35 mpg). I'm considering having it re-chipped, would this be a good idea?
Regarding ECU tune-ups. Do they increase the power/ torque/ mpg as stated? Are they worth the investment?

Good choice of engines. Some petrol engines now chain cam. Comfortable and well built interior. cheap to run 1.6 TDI. Feels very refined especially on the motorway.
