FAQ’S

Q: How do I "Fine Tune" my DieselPower® Module?

A: The PD Modules we recommend settings B or C. Higher settings can be experimented with and adjusted to suit your individual driving style. When using the modules on the highest maximum settings it is recommended and beneficial to ease off on the throttle slightly at higher RPM'S to allow the engine to remain in the "Sweet Spot" of maximum torque.

A: The CR Module can be easily adjusted by starting off in the lower settings and turning the dial clockwise. The values start at 0-9 and the from A-F with F being maximum gain. When under full acceleration the engine fails to respond turn the dial back 2 notches counter-clockwise. During periods of high ambient temperatures it may be necessary to turn the dial back one or two settings.

A: The Digi Z Module for 1996-2003 VW TDI'S can be adjusted clockwise for more power until the engine fails to respond and the backed off 1 or 2 notches clockwise for best drivability and performance.

A: The Digi VP can also be adjusted up to the point where the engine fails to respond, at this point decrease the setting 2 levels back.

Q: Will installation of the DieselPower® module void my factory warranty?
A: Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The act states that if something breaks on your car and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless they can prove that whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle actually caused the problem. Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) .

Q:Will the DieselPower® module cause any damage to the transmission?
A: No however hard driving styles or abuse can cause damage to transmissions even at stock power levels, and the increase in HP and Torque could accelerate this.

Q: Will the DieselPower® module improve fuel efficiency?
A: Yes, based on your driving style and the type of fuel injection system on your vehicle it is possible you will see a 10% improvement in fuel efficiency due to the significant increase in low RPM torque. Fuel efficiency will vary due to individual driving styles.

Q: Will the DieselPower® modules increase the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT’S) ?
A: No, we have monitored all vehicle with the modules installed and have recorded no significant increases in EGT’S.

Q: I have a 2003 VW Golf TDI and the car seems to be jerky and not totally smooth when driving at a steady cruise condition with the DieselPower AGR Z4 module installed. What can I do?

A: The VW TDI airflow meters tend to go bad over time and give a rough signal at the #5 terminal on the MAF. The easiest installation of the AGR Z4 is to take the signal from this #5 wire. If the MAF is bad the AGR Z4 will tend to magnify the jerky performance. In this case we recommend taking the signal from the throttle pedal potentiometer. This wire is white/blue tracer and is located at the throttle pedal. This white/blue wire has .30 volts key on engine off and will increase up to 4.6 volts in smooth increments as accelerator is depressed.

Q: Since the installation of the AGR Z4 module in my 2002 Jetta TDI it tends to smoke more. Is this normal?

A: No, this is not normal.VW TDI'S have been plaqued with deposits of oil and soot building up in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system and the intake manifold. This build-up will severely restrict the free flow of air that is required for the engine to run at peak efficiency. The result of this will be excess smoke, poor fuel economy and low power output. The EGR and intake manifold should be inspected and cleaned on a regular basis.

DieselPower® North America

DieselPower® only makes tuning modules for diesels. They choose to specialize in diesel technology and as a result they have developed a quality product that is TUV and CE certified. Diesel Power has sold nearly 400,000 units worldwide with many being installed on the Volkswagen TDI. There are differences between the European and North American VW but in general they share many common systems. Diesel Power reports no long term effects when using their Digi PD Tuning Module on the TDI. DieselPower® makes products for all late model diesels found in Canada, USA and Australia.

DieselPower® tuning modules were designed to increase overall horsepower and torque while still maintaining or increasing your fuel efficiency. Modules come complete with the plug and play wiring harness, which plugs directly into the factory style connectors without any damage or tell-tale signs. Our modules were designed with extreme care so that all engine safety measures are still in place. Under normal operating conditions these units will NOT trip the check engine light.

Unlike other manufacturers of diesel performance products our products achieve their power gains by strictly altering the fuel injection timing and duration. Beware of other products whose gains are achieved by increasing turbo charger boost pressures.
Even though the failure rate is nearly zero, DieselPower® modules and harnesses are fully guaranteed for three years with full no hassle product replacement.
